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.

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.

“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!

Grant A.
Important note: I am currently not able to take new customers after the end of March, 2026. My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.
