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.

Kamakura: one day trip from Tokyo
Just an hour south of Tokyo, Kamakura offers a perfect one-day escape blending history, nature, and seaside atmosphere.

Half-day tour to Enoshima island
Welcome to Enoshima — a small island just off the Shōnan coast that has been attracting pilgrims, artists, writers, and weekend escape-seekers for centuries. Although it feels worlds away from Tokyo, the island can be explored comfortably in half a day and offers an unusual combination of sacred history, dramatic coastal scenery, and nostalgic seaside atmosphere. On your way back you may try unique sea urchin ramen at Enoshima if you decide to have lunch or dinner her.

“Незабываемый Токио с Дмитрием — дух города передан идеально!”
Наша 8-часовая интенсивная экскурсия по Токио с Дмитрием Б. была просто замечательной. Он настоящий профессионал и очень приятный человек, который помог нам почувствовать настоящий дух Токио — его традиции, атмосферу и современную жизнь. Особенно ценно, что Дмитрий учёл индивидуальные пожелания каждого из нашей группы из 6 человек и органично вписал их в программу, не нарушив общий ритм и не упустив ничего важного. Экскурсия получилась живой, комфортной и очень душевной. Спасибо большое, Дмитрий, за этот яркий и запоминающийся день в Токио!

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!

Kaneo U.
I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

Grant A.
My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.
