About Tour Guide Kyoko I.
Hello, my name is Kyoko. I am a National licensed tour guide.
After graduating from college in the United States, I worked as an editor for an international in-flight magazine. It gave me the opportunity to travel to many countries, including Europe, America, Asia and Mid East, to gather research for my articles.
I live in Tokyo with my family, I sing in a local chorus group and I enjoy cooking Asian food like Indian, Thai, Burmese and Korean food.
Being a tour guide for group or private tours, I get to meet people and learn about different cultures from all over the world. It has become my most favorite thing to do.
I am very enthusiastic about sharing my Japanese culture and hospitality to make your travel experience memorable.
As your guide, I will show you the beauty of Japan!
Important
I have indicated three days when I are available to guide, but I may be on a long tour in Japan and my calendar may not be updated. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding.

“Book your next tour with Kyoko ”
Our tour with Kyoko was perfect. She worked with my family and I to sculpt the perfect tour of Tokyo. She was kind, gentle, and very informed. She had printed visual references and lots of answers to our questions at the Imperial Palace. Her English is great. She lived in the US for a few years. But above that, she has a kind and gentle spirit which touched my family’s heart. We are so grateful for the time we spent with Kyoko.

Dear Joe, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. The sparkling time I spent with you, Jenny and your children is truly a treasure to me. I was so happy that all of you listened patiently to my stories such as the Shoguns and Emperors. Your son and daughter, raised by such warm and kind parents, I was so impressed by how sharp, thoughtful, and friendly your children were — our conversations were lively and full of fun! Though it was only half a day, it flew by, and your family’s smiles have stayed in my heart. I truly hope we’ll meet again someday. And thank you for the great sushi lunch, too!! Thank you for choosing me as your guide!

Hello! I'm Fumiko, a licensed national tourist guide. I love Japanese culture such as Japanese way of arranging flowers, calligraphy, origami or folding paper, and wearing yukata. If you would like to experience these kinds of things Japanese, I can arrange for you. I'm good on Japanese history, too. I'd like to show you around Tokyo and other places with their historical backgrouds, if you like. As I had worked for a travel agency for a long time, I can help you travel smoothly and I'd like to meet your request as much as possible. I often guide Asakusa, Ueno, East Garden of Imperial Palace, Tsukiji, Ryogoku, Yanesen, Meiji Jingu , Harajuku and so on.
