I'm Satoko U., your private tour guide in Tokyo
Guide #26782
My name is Satoko. I have a very distinct family lineage, with my mother's side dating back to the ancient Samurai. My grandmother was a true master of traditional Japanese practices such as kimono, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and playing the koto. My father's side also ran a successful Japanese restaurant. Growing up in these traditional surroundings has developed a burning passion for all things Japanese; the culture, spirit, food, nature, and aesthetic sense - all of which make me excited! Japan is a country with many unique and mysterious aspects - its culture, customs, and language can even be difficult for the natives to grasp let alone foreigners. My mission is to demystify Japan and educate all those interested by exposing the real side of my country and by sharing knowledge that goes beyond guidebooks, YouTube, or Wikipedia. Having lived and breathed Japan for all my life, you can rest assured that your next booking with me will be authentic and special. If you have any questions about me, my tours, or Japan then feel free to contact me!

Satoko was an amazing guide and worked with us to craft a tour that suited our interests. We saw so much more than if we toured on our own, plus she gave us valuable insights on history and culture as well. Highly recommend.

This was a fantastic tour of Tokyo given by Satoko! She is an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly guide who made the first day in Tokyo a memorable one. She was able to personalize our tour based on my mother's interests and kept the pace appropriate for her as she is handicapped. She also inquired on itineraries from other tour guides so we didn't duplicate visiting...
