Guide #57279
Hello, everyone in the world! My name is Rie. Good news for all of you who are planning a trip to Japan and Tokyo. I'm a Tokyo local and I'm here to show you the best places to go! But first, please get to know me. I was born and raised in Tokyo. With the exception of a time when I attended a public high school in the U. S. as an exchange student and a job transfer, I have spent most of my life in Tokyo. Tokyo is my hometown and I LOVE Tokyo. I have worked in a variety of industries, including banking, publishing, education, and travel. I believe this broad experience gives me a great advantage in my work as a guide. In particular, I have specialized in introducing Japanese and foreign arts and culture as an editor for over 20 years. In addition, when I traveled around the world as a tour conductor, I was often impressed by competent local guides who had not only knowledge but also hospitality and a sense of humor. These experiences have inspired me to spend the second half of my life creating and sharing best memories with you. So, please join me on a journey through Tokyo Wonderland! Just as I had a series of WOW moments when I traveled around the world, I hope you will have many WOW moments as well with me.

Much better than visiting on your own, learning about the history and significance of the Edo-period remains in the Imperial Garden with a knowledgeable guide like Rie was very worthwhile. Her insight into the significance of the Meiji Shrine was also invaluable. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for your superb review and rating. I'm so glad you liked the tour. It is my great honor to have such a review by the people who have visited Japan more than once and love history and culture deeply. Rie
We booked this tour because our friends traveling with us had never been to Tokyo before. Rei was outstanding in every way. She was prompt and clear about where to meet.

Beautiful tour! Learned more about the history during the walk in the garden and to the temple. Some late adjustment was no problem for Rie and we were so grateful. Good English speaking!
