== Please send a message before booking! Thank you! === Hello or "Konnichiwa!" I am Sachimi, a nationally licensed English-speaking Private Tour Guide living in Tokyo. I have guided more than 1200 people from over 40 countries in the past 3 years after the pandemic. I enjoy meeting people from different cultural backgrounds and sharing them with each other! I am also eager to share the beauty and great aspects of Tokyo I was born in Kobe, in the Western part of Japan, near Kyoto. More recently, I have been living in Tokyo for 18 years. I have one son who is 17 years old. While I have already lived in Tokyo for quite a long time, I always discover many new and intriguing things that I am eager to share with my private tour clients. Tokyo has so many things to see and do, many attractive sightseeing spots and experiences including nature. I would love to show you around the iconic sights of Tokyo as well as the numerous hidden gems off-the-beaten tourist path. All of my tours are private and fully customizable to meet your personal desires and interests. My interest in Japanese culture includes traditional arts and crafts, Japanese tea and confectionery, calligraphy, Kimono, traditional tea ceremonies and theater such as Kabuki, Noh and Bunraku. I also love to stroll around town enjoying the lovely gardens and historic architecture. I have always been interested in or curious about cultural activities, and I have experienced some of them by myself. I have practiced calligraphy, tea ceremony, making Japanese confectionery and even know how to wear Japanese Kimono the traditional way! "Treasure every encounter" is the primary teaching by Sen-no Rikyu, the perfecter of the tea ceremony, and means each encounter you experience is a very precious and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I really like this concept and I am doing my best to embrace it by showing my heartfelt hospitality to all the guests I meet! I am a friendly, personable, and adaptable person and will provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable tour with traditional hospitality, "omotenashi" in Japanese. Please let me help you experience these magnificent things during your visit to Japan. You will have a truly memorable experience! Warm regards, Sachimi National Licensed Tour Guide (English) No.EN03644 Certified Domestic Itinerary Control Manager I am not able to provide early morning (before 9 AM) or night tours due to family commitments. I am not a driver, but I can arrange a private car separately if you request for your tour.

    Our tour was disappointing, so much so that I consider the day almost completely wasted. Prior to the tour, we communicated with Sachimi to express our interests. These requests were largely disregarded. For example, we stated that we were interested in retro neighbourhoods around Tokyo. For some reason, we were taken to a temple in a suburb that took us almost an hour to...

    Dear Naomi-san and Sharon-san; Thank you for your candid feedback. I am deeply sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations and wasted your precious time in Tokyo. I misunderstood your interests, resulting in poor routing and unsuitable stops, and I deeply regret failing to adjust when you raised concerns. Your feedback is invaluable and I sincerely apologize...

    Sachimi is so lovely and kind. We had an excellent time strolling Asakusa with her. She did a very good job teaching us about Buddhism vs. Shintoism, and how they interact in daily Japanese life. She was very good at explaining the etiquette for attending temples and shrines, as well as what to do at them. We also had a very nice time at a craft museum, where she...

    Sachi was an amazing guide and we really enjoyed our time with her in Tokyo! We had a multigenerational group of grandparents, parents and young children, and she was able to adapt the tour to make sure that everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Sachi as a guide if you want to learn more about Tokyo while you are there!
