About Tour Guide Junko N.
Hi, I am Junko, a national licensed tour guide in English.
I can also speak Italian to have a normal conversation.
I was born and raised in Tokyo so I could say that I know Tokyo inside out. I believe Tokyo is a beautiful and traditional city as well as a modern and exciting city. In addition to famous tourist sites, there remain many attractions that are not well known among tourists.
I have had experiences of guiding foreign tourists as a volunteer guide for several years before becoming a licensed tour guide. So I can give you useful suggestions in traveling Japan. I truly like meeting people from different countries and cultures and sharing the fun of discovering Tokyo and its vicinity.
I can always tailor the tour to fit your interests and prepare an itinerary so that your stay will be unforgettable.
Why don’t you explore Tokyo with me? Please feel free to contact me at any time! I am looking forward to meeting you in Tokyo.

Junko è stata un ottima guida ed i suoi consigli per il nostro proseguo del viaggio sono stati veramente util. Peccato solamente che non riuscivamo a capire il suo Italiano. Grazie comunque.

Grazie mille per il vostro gentile messaggio. Sono molto felice che abbiate apprezzato il tour e i miei consigli per il vostro viaggio. Per quanto riguarda il mio italiano, il vostro commento sarà per me un grande incoraggiamento. Grazie ancora! Junko

“Mezza giornata a Tokyo e poi trasferimento a Narita”
Oggi è il nostro ultimo giorno a Tokyo, puntualissima come sempre Junko ci aspetta nella lobby del nostro albergo. Junko ha organizzato la nostra ultima visita a Tokyo e il trasferimento VIP all'aeroporto di Narita che dista circa un ora. Junko è una guida competente che parla un buon italiano, con lei nei giorni precedenti abbiamo fatto altre visite a Tokyo, tutto è sempre andato benissimo. Come sempre ci organizza tutto in modo perfetto non tralasciando niente al caso. Il programma del mattino è la visita alla torre di Tokyo per goderci un bellissimo panorama e poi trasferimento all'aeroporto. In perfetto orario arriva la vettura da lei riservata per portarci all'aeroporto, un trasferimento da VIP. Lei ci accompagna fino all'aeroporto, ci aiuta a trovare il banco per il check-in e solo quando è sicura che tutto è a posto ci salutiamo. Junko ci fa una grande sorpresa regalandoci dei dolci sempre tipici di Tokyo, salutarci è stato per noi e pensiamo per lei un momento di grande commozione; quando si passano assieme dei giorni stupendi è sempre difficile salutarsi. Grazie Junko per aver organizzato i nostri tour, risposto alle nostre innumerevoli curiosità, spiegato la storia Giapponese, tutto in modo molto competente e preciso. Sarai sempre nei nostri ricordi

Grazie per tutti i complimenti. Come guida, non potrei essere più felice di ricevere tali complimenti solo per aver fatto ciò che meritavo come guida. Grazie mille per avermi affidato il vostro prezioso tempo durante il vostro soggiorno di quattro giorni a Tokyo. Junko

“Kamakura, a un ora da Tokyo”
Ci incontriamo ancora con Junko nella lobby del nostro albergo, come sempre puntualissima. Oggi tramite il metrò e poi il treno ci rechiamo a Kamakura. Il programma per la giornata che Junko ci ha preparato è molto fitto ma come le altre volte riusciamo a fare tutto con delle parti non previste. Junko parla un buon l'italiano, conosce molto bene la storia Giapponese e ci porta alla scoperta di posti meravigliosi. Questo non è il primo tour che facciamo con lei, quindi la conosciamo bene e lei conosce noi e per pranzo ci prepara una sorpresa in un ristorante particolare che lei aveva già riservato per noi. Nei precedenti tour avevamo espresso un desiderio per un pranzo particolare e lei per questa giornata ha saputo accontentarci. Kamakura una città stupenda con dei luoghi pieni di interesse che Junko ci ha fatto visitare dandoci dei ragguagli sulla sua storia e rispondendo in modo competente alle nostre domande. Junko ha saputo organizzare la giornata in modo professionale e competente, in ogni momento controllava che non ci perdessimo nella folla quando percorrevamo le viuzze pedonali e trovava sempre il momento giusto per istruirci sulla storia dei luoghi che visitavamo. Grazie Junko per aver reso indimenticabile la nostra giornata a Kamakura.

Grazie per la splendida recensione. È stato un onore portarvi nel mio posto preferito, Kamakura. Kamakura è una città affascinante con molta storia, tra cui molti santuari e templi, e una natura ricca come il mare e le montagne. Nei vicoli dove passano gli abitanti del luogo, le piante e i fiori sono ben curati e sono felice di aver potuto far conoscere ai giapponesi le quattro stagioni e il loro modo di vivere. Junko

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.
