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.

Dmitrijs B.

Thank you very much, Tom, for your kind and considerate review. I was really glad to meet you and introduce you to the Yanesen area. I'm delighted you enjoyed the tour, our lunch, and the opportunity to explore this charming part of Tokyo together. It was a pleasure to accompany you, and I hope you take home some wonderful memories of your time in Japan. Thank you once again for choosing my tour and for your recommendation. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again someday!

Dmitrijs was knowledgeable and made the history and culture much more interesting. A very enjoyable and memorable day for the whole family. Thank you once again.

Dmitrijs B.

Thank you so much, Yelena, for your kind review! I was truly happy to have the opportunity to introduce you to Kamakura.
