About Tour Guide Dmitrijs B.
I have lived in Japan for 12 years so far, including 7 years in Tokyo and 5 years in Kamakura. I know these two places very well and would be glad to share my knowledge of Japanese history and culture with you.
I speak four languages, including Japanese, and I enjoy meeting new people. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or requests.
P.S. English is not my native language. I received a TOEFL iBT score of 108 many years ago, which corresponds to the advanced C1 level. However, there may still be some accent or occasional vocabulary slips. I appreciate your understanding :)
Important
I will be happy to adjust my schedule to your needs.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding your visit to Tokyo, Yokohama, or Kamakura.

Discover Yanesen: charming Yanaka, Nippori and Nezu neighborhood in Tokyo
Just 15 minutes from Tokyo Station, time seems to stand still here. Unlike much of Tokyo, Yanaka escaped major wartime destruction, preserving its narrow streets, wooden houses, and small local shops that evoke the atmosphere of “old Tokyo.” Together with Nezu and Sendagi, the area is known as Yanesen. Centered around Yanaka Cemetery, it is home to many Buddhist temples, the lively Yanaka Ginza shopping street, and family-run daifuku and senbei shops, cute street cafés and flower stores.

“Yanaka tour Dimitrijs”
We had a great tour with Demetrius in Yanika. Very easy to book the tour and Dimitri medicine at our hotel to escorts by train to the neighborhood. Very knowledgeable on the subject and most agreeable. We enjoyed his company, including lunch at the end of the Tour he helped us with our return. The cost of the tour was a little pricey, but overall a reasonably good value. I would recommend him to others interested in a thoughtful tour in Tokyo or to other neighborhoods outside Tokyo that he covers.

Yumiko O.
Hello, my name is Yumiko, and I am a licensed tour guide based in Japan. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of Japan with travelers from all over the world. I have guided many visitors through Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and other famous destinations, as well as hidden gems that only locals know. My goal is always to create a tour that is not only informative but also enjoyable and personalized to your interests. With a warm and flexible guiding style, I love helping guests discover Japan’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether you are interested in temples and shrines, delicious local food, or simply strolling through charming streets, I will do my best to make your time in Japan unforgettable. I am excited to announce that I have started offering tours in Odawara! Odawara is a historic castle town located just an hour from Tokyo, famous for its impressive Odawara Castle, beautiful views of both the sea and mountains, and its role as the gateway to Hakone. In addition to exploring the castle and tasting local specialties such as fresh seafood and kamaboko (fish cakes), you can also enjoy many Instagram-worthy spots, from the scenic coastline to charming traditional houses that give a glimpse of Japan’s past. Odawara is still less crowded compared to other popular destinations, so it’s a great time to visit. I look forward to welcoming you and creating wonderful memories together!
