“Fantastic! ”
Our day with Dai was EASY, comfortable and fantastic. We have 5 kids and he was super sweet, patient and adjusted to each child’s needs accordingly. We couldn’t say enough good about our day with Dai and how relaxed we were. He picked a great day of sites and even better places to eat! We had a wonderful day with Dai!

“Dai is the guide you want!!”
I booked the make your own tour. Dai (pronounced Die) corresponded back and forth with me on what the members of my party were interested in. For me it was the Tsukiji fish market. For my daughter it was cosplay/anime stuff and for my husband it was the cream sandwiches at Age.3. For all 3 of us it was Sakura (cherry blossoms). He didn't miss a step in curating a unique experience that would satisfy everyone in the family. We had 2 full days with him and we accomplished all the things +++. Day 1 he met us at our hotel and we taxied to Hama-rikyu Gardens to see the cherry blossoms coming in. Then we went to Tsukiji market. That is not to be missed! Dai had connections everywhere and took us to a restaurant in outer Tsukiji where the locals went. Unbelievable sushi. After that my husband and I were tired so he took my (adult) daughter where she could buy a cosplay outfit. Dai had done his homework ahead of time and knew on day 2 there was going to be a big anime festival. Then they came back and we all went to dinner for shabu shabu. A very long day for him but he was great about it. Day 2 started early at another set of gardens before heading to the anime fest. My daughter was pulled into the parade and I don't know the last time I saw her so happy. Then he took us to Asakusa where we went to the animal cafe and we got to pet otters, owls, hedgehogs and a capybara. Next we toured Asakusa shrines (amazing!) before he took us to get the cream sandwiches at Age 3. We then had dinner at another place he picked that was even better than the shabu shabu. Finally we arrived back at our hotel and said our goodbyes to someone who 2 days earlier was a stranger that was now like family. Seriously cannot recommend him enough. He speaks perfect English and is well traveled. I should also add that I had mentioned to him that I had some back issues and he took great care to make sure I was always comfortable. All in all just a fabulous time with a perfect guide!!

2 days I spent with Michele with her family are incredibly amazing and I never forget all of things. I am a tour guide and love showing travelers around so many things but I experienced exactly a new world during that time. For example, I knew places but I've never tried to join the local festival with cosplaying. The time I spent with them gave me a new perspective on things I already knew. I appreciate for your kindness and hope you enjoy the rest of your staying in Japan! :)

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

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.
