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.
I highly recommend hiring Junko. I really enjoyed spending a full day tour with her. She is a lovey person and very knowledgeable. Junko also helped me understand some key basics about the subway which is super important for me, as it is my first visit to Tokyo. I appreciated her explanations and history behind the places we visited, which were very crowded due to the holiday weekend. It was extremely hot and humid during our tour, but we both made the best of it. She was flexible and we made an adjustment to our tour. She was also very patient, as I was taking a lot of photos. She made sure I got on the correct train to get back to my hotel. This all-day tour means A LOT of walking, so be prepared with comfortable shoes, clothing and a hat. Its so worth the sore legs at the end of the day, because Junko makes sure you see as much as you can during your time.
Leigh, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am very happy to show you some of the highlights of Tokyo. The weather is still very hot, so please take care and enjoy your Tokyo life. Junko.
Junko was an amazing tour guide for my family. She met us at our hotel and arranged a Wonderful half day tour of Tokyo. She made getting around the city east since she guided us through the train stations to each of our destinations. I can’t imagine trying to navigate this huge city without Junko. As a local , She was able to share her knowledge of all the sites and neighborhoods that we visited. She even made the extra effort to make sure we were able to get tickets to the Tokyo tower which was not on our itinerary. She will customize the tour according to what you want and is flexible about making changes to the tour depending on where you want to stop. I highly recommend hiring Junko.
Michele, thank you for your excellent review. I am so glad you were satisfied with my tour. I hope you enjoy the Team Lab Museum tomorrow. Junko
We had a wonderful day with Junko. She met us in our hotel lobby in Ginza and led us around all the major sites in Tokyo. We walked and utilized public transit, and she helped us obtain our JR Pass. She also organized a delicious lunch in a place we would have never found on our own. Junko was knowledgeable and friendly, and answered all of our questions.
Danielle, thank you for such a great review! I am really happy that you enjoyed my tour. Thank you again. Junko
we had a enjoyable day tour in Tokyo with Junko. This was our first day in Japan. She took us to the must see places and gave us a lot of tips for the next days in Tokyo and especially about the railway system which is really important.
Thank you very much for such a nice review. I am so glad to have helped you enjoy Tokyo. Hope you create unforgettable memories in Japan. Junko
