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 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.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous review. It truly made my day to read your lovely words. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the customized shopping itinerary and that the day met your expectations. I was especially touched when you told me that the list of Jirai-kei fashion shops had been prepared by your daughter without knowing about the trip, and that you made this tour a birthday gift for her. You are such a wonderful mother, Rachna-san, and it was a joy for me to see your daughter’s big smile throughout the day. Thank you again for choosing my tour and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful recommendation. I hope your wonderful memories of Japan stay with you for a long time, and I would be delighted to guide you again if you return in the future. Warm regards, Kyoko

Dear Fatima-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Guiding you and your group was truly a pleasure. I was completely charmed by your warm and friendly personality, and the time we spent together has remained vivid in my memory. I’m truly grateful for the chance to share such a memorable day with all of you, and I hope our paths will cross again on another journey.

“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!

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 !

Koichiro Y.
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).

Shin N.
Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years. I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots. I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto, so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities. I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains. I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit. I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one. It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule, in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!
