Exciting Mt. Fuji - One Day Tour from Tokyo
In this tour, we will visit two of the most popular Mt. Fuji viewing spots. My favorite part of this tour is when I take you to Arakurayama Sengen Park where we can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda. I think this is the best place for Mt. Fuji viewing, but it is located in a little bit complicated place. So, I can take you here in the most efficient way.

Naritasan Shinshoji temple before your flight
If you have more than 4 hours before your flight at Narita airport, you should visit Naritasan Shinshoji temple, and experience Japanese culture. It's a time-honored temple with a history of over 1000 years. In my opinion, it's the best temple in Tokyo region with great traditional buildings, beautiful Japanese gardens and Japanese food. Here, I can tell almost everything about Japanese couture and traditions to you. I can make your layover time in Japan more enjoyable and fruitful !!

Exciting Kamakura - One Day Tour from Tokyo
Kamakura is called "Kyoto of Eastern Japan", because it used to be the capital of Japan from 12th to 14th century, and the first government by the Shogun, a top of samurai warriors, was located here. Kamakura offers numerous temples, shrines and other historical monuments. In this tour, we will visit three famous temples and one shrine. Personally, I love Kamakura so much and strongly recommend this tour to you, because there are so many beautiful places here.

“Tokyo with a Private Guide using the Subway.”
We had a very interesting day with Hideaki M. visiting a number of places in Tokyo by subway which we would never have got to on our own. He did a great job; setting a pace suitable for Senior Citizens who were very tired, having just disembarked from our ship! Tokyo Government Building Observation Room was a great stop where we enjoyed panoramic views and even got to see Mt. Fuji in all its glory. The visit to Shinjuku Gyoen Garden National Park was very special with many of the Cherry trees still in flower giving some beautiful displays of blossoms and so many other spectacular trees and a finally a visit to the traditional Japanese garden. We stopped for lunch where we had to cook our own food on a hot plate at the table which was a great experience as we have never done that before. The food was really very good, reasonably priced and very tasty! Then it was off to Shibuya Scramble Crossing to enjoy the atmosphere of crossing with many, many people in all directions. By then these Seniors were ready for home so we took our last subway ride for the day and were delivered back to our hotel. Hideaki thank you for your assistance with our shopping along the way and especially helping with collecting our pre-purchased train tickets for our upcoming journey: it was much appreciated. It was a great experience all round, so thank you.

“Wonderful and efficient!”
I loved the tour around tokyo and wished I had more days to explore. My guide Hideaki , was knowledgeable, friendly and explained in detail the various attractions we visited. It was a very pleasant day and was lucky to get a view of the mount fuji from the observation deck. Loved the stroll along the quiet backstreets of tokyo. Absolutely loved the excellent display of various foods at a farmers market especially ,the sushi. I really enjoyed the tour and Thank you Hideaki for your company.

Chiaki K.
Welcome to Japan! My name is Chiaki. I’m a government licensed guide interpreter, a wife and mother of two grown-up children. I’ve been living in Tokyo for 30 years so I know the area well. If you don’t want to miss popular “must see” places, wish to eat a variety of Japanese popular and delicious food, have particular interest in Japanese theatrical arts, architectures, gardens, tea ceremony and “kawaii” characters, or are tired of tourist spots and like to see the real life of people in Japan, I can help you. My goal is to help you to make your stay in Japan as memorable and fulfilling as possible. If I can serve you to make your special trip more special, it will be my pleasure.
