Tour guide in Tokyo Akiko K.

*PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING to ensure your tour is customized for you! Hi there! I'm Akiko, your dedicated licensed guide ready to unveil the enchanting wonders of Japan through thoughtfully crafted tours suitable for travelers of all ages. Having spent the majority of my life here, growing up in the suburbs, attending university, and later working in the dynamic offices of Tokyo, I offer more than just tours—I provide a genuine insider's perspective on this vibrant region. As a mother of two teenage boys, I've explored numerous places with them in Tokyo, gaining valuable insights into family-friendly attractions and activities. My commitment to guiding extends beyond family outings. I've served as a Tokyo Metropolitan Government volunteer guide at major train terminals, assisting guests in navigating the city and its surroundings. Additionally, I had the privilege of volunteering at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, working as a personal assistant to the International Olympic Committee executives. Transitioning into a paid tour guide role, I've led tours at iconic spots like the Tsukiji fish market, Asakusa, Harajuku and Akasaka. Now, I'm excited to craft personalized tours tailored to the unique preferences of my guests. I am a fluent speaker of English, having spent three years in Atlanta, Georgia. My guests always comment that my English is perfect. My meticulous nature and passion for travel fuel my desire to be well-prepared. When creating itineraries, I aim to capture the essence of each location, ensuring a memorable experience for every guest. Since each trip is a unique opportunity, I strive to make the most of their limited schedule, a principle I bring to crafting exceptional tours in collaboration with my guests. Think of me as your friend living in Tokyo, guiding you to amazing places and helping you communicate with the locals. Bring your sense of wonder and adventure, and let's explore the wonders of Japan together. Whether you're a family with young explorers, a couple seeking a unique getaway, or solo travelers ready for new friendships, I'm here to ensure your journey is filled with joy, discovery, and cultural immersion.
