Hi! I am Toshiko. Welcome and thank you for visiting my page! I'm a tour guide in Tokyo. I like meeting people and showing them around Tokyo. When I went to university in Japan, I got a scholarship to study abroad for a year at an American college. After graduating from a Japanese university, I worked for a company that deals with study-abroad programs and had many opportunities to go abroad to take care of students. It was a fun experience to go abroad and meet new people. I came to think that I want to learn more about Japan because when I was abroad, I sometimes had trouble answering questions about Japan. These questions were things that were so obvious to me that I never thought about them. However, I have come to realize that such questions are actually what people overseas want to know. With this in mind, I have been reviewing Japan and guiding many people from overseas. I would like to share my experience and knowledge with you. I would like to make your trip very special and memorable. I would be honored to be part of your trip. I look forward to meeting you. *Pick-up and drop-off at cruise ship ports and airports are not available. -National Guide Certificate (English) -license#EN04661 -Trained by, and a member of the Japan Federation of Certified Guides (JFG) -Teacher's certificate of English -Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test

My family really appreciated a tour of several neighborhoods in Tokyo (Asakusa, Shibuya, gardens). Toshiko was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the history perspective and the efficiency of the tour. In a half day, we did what would have taken us over a day to do on our own plus felt like we really understood the sites we visited. It was a great way to start our...

June 2026Hi Matt. I truly enjoyed spending time with you and your family. I am so happy to hear you had a good time. Thank you so much!
Toshiko is an amazing guide! She guided us on our first day in Tokyo, providing a half-day tour before we attended the Yomiuri Giants baseball game. Once our tour was accepted, her communications were quick, clear and helpful as we worked together to determine the day’s itinerary in light our need to end at the Tokyo Dome. Not only did we see some of the usual fantastic...
