Tour guide in Tokyo Akemi I.

Greetings and welcome to my profile! My name is Akemi, and I'm thrilled that you're considering a trip to Tokyo. As a born-and-raised local tour guide, I'm excited to show you the best hidden, trendy, and local spots in Tokyo. Unlike traditional tour guides, I prioritize your preferences and tailor the trip to your mood and interests. My specialties include Japanese contemporary art spots, unique young culture, traditional experiences like the Matcha Tea Ceremony, and, of course, Japanese food. As a self-proclaimed foodie and former video director who has filmed numerous videos about Japanese cuisine, I'm familiar with trendy and excellent restaurants throughout Tokyo. My favorite dishes include Sushi, Ramen, Shabu-Shabu, Tempura, and Udon noodles, but I'm open to trying new things. I've had the pleasure of providing tailored tours to over 700 people, including families with little kids, teenagers, couples, and business trips with sightseeing. No matter who you are, I'm confident in providing high-quality tours that you'll enjoy. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, an art lover, a busy mom or dad, LGBTQ+, or traveling with kids, I'm happy to accommodate your needs. My tours typically last between 4-6 hours, and I offer various options depending on your interests. Tokyo is a vast city that can feel overwhelming, but don't worry, I've got you covered. On the west side of Tokyo, you'll find "New Tokyo, " including Meiji Jingu, Harajuku, Shibuya, Aoyama & Omotesando, Daikanyama & Nakameguro, Akihabara, and Kagurazaka. If you prefer the more traditional side of Tokyo, I also offer tours of the "Old Tokyo" area, which includes Asakusa, Tsukiji Old Fish Market, Tokyo Tower or Tokyo Sky Tree, Ginza, Hamarikyu Garden, and the Imperial Palace. Of course, I'm flexible, and you can mix and match your desired locations. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or requests you may have. I'm always happy to help make your trip to Tokyo unforgettable! I've experienced as a tour guide for over 4 years and provided tours for groups up to 700 people. I'm not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a taxi.
