Hi, I'm Akio, a National Government-Licensed Guide based in Yokohama. Since 2016, I have had the privilege of hosting over 800 tailored tours across Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura, and Hakone. Originally from Kagawa Prefecture, a region blessed with the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, I spent 30 years working for a global tech company in Tokyo. Working with international colleagues gave me a profound appreciation for Japan through a global lens, inspiring me to transition from a passionate traveler to a professional guide. I have a deep love for authentic cuisine, rich history, and exceptional architecture. Unlike rigid group itineraries, my tours emphasize experiencing "genuine" Japan—connecting you with breathtaking scenery, hidden gems, and the vibrant daily life of the places we visit. Let's craft unforgettable memories together and explore Japan more deeply. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you in Japan!

There is no way we could have done this on our own! Akio navigated us through sites and streets and then the subway/train system effortlessly. We saw so much and walked 23,000 steps in 7 hours. Lunch was delicious. If you want an overview of the city, Akio is your guide!

Jim L.United StatesOctober 2026We booked Akio for a full private day around Hakone, and it was one of the best days of our whole trip. He was easy to work with from the start. His messages were prompt and clear, and he made the logistics simple, down to meeting us right in our hotel lobby at the agreed time. We never had to wonder what the plan was or where to be. Akio knows this area well, and it...
