About Tour Guide Toru K.
Hello my guests, I'm Toru, a national licensed tour guide. I've been mainly guiding around Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and Nikko for an individual or small group tourists . I'm living in a town near Narita International Airport.
It's often said that one of the characteristics of the Japanese culture is sticking to details and yet tries to conceal its care. It means that there are a pile of unspoken stories behind what you see in Japan. I'm always trying to be an interpreter of those stories and help you enjoy the secrets of Japanese cultures.
I'm offering four tour plans of Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and Nikko. I think they are the best plans especially for the first timers to Japan because they're prepared to include all must-see spots in the area. If you are repeaters or interested in the other things or places, please don't hesitate to require what you want. Let's make the best plan for you together. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Japan.

True Hakone Private Tour enjoying 3 popular spots
Hakone is an attractive destination for one-day tour because of its easy access from Tokyo, many hot-spring resorts, and abundant natural beauty including a view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi. And it's also been a sacred religious site of mountain worship since ancient time. In this tour, we’ll visit three must-see spots in Hakone: Lake Ashi, Owakudani Valley, and Hakone Open-Air Museum. They will be a wonderful memory for you in Japan.
True Tokyo Private Tour enjoying several popular spots
In this tour, we’ll visit three must-see spots in Tokyo today: areas around the Imperial Palace, Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, and Meiji-jingu Shrine in Harajuku. Plus we enjoy delicious food in Tsukiji Outer-Market. This would be an ideal tour for first visitors to Tokyo. You can experience modern and traditional Tokyo through the tour.
True Kamakura Private Tour enjoying four popular spots
Kamakura is a cozy seaside town with many historical sites and just one hour train-ride from Tokyo. It is an important city in the Japanese history because the first samurai warrior's government was established here in the 12th century and had been the political center for about 140 years. In this tour, we'll visit four popular religious sites, each with its own unque attractions.

“Trip to hakone”
We enjoyed meeting Toru; a lovely, knowledgeable, organized man. He met us at the hotel on time and navigated thru the many transportation systems needed to get to Hakone area. He was very interesting telling us about the volcanoes area, Lake District and hot springs etc. We recommend his services to anyone.

(27 reviews)Thank you very much for your warm comments. I'm delighted that you chose the Hakone tour to conclude your stay in Japan. I suppose Mt. Fuji also knew that it was your last day in Japan and it showed up in its whole figure. I look forward to seeing all four of you together next time in Japan.
