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.

Do you have only a limited time in Tokyo?
Do you want to have a guide for the first few hours, and then explore Tokyo on your own?
Then, this is the perfect tour for you.
I will choose the best possible destinations to suit your taste. Typically, the tour visits 2 or 3 must-see places in Tokyo. I will also tell you how to use the complex subways and other things you need to navigate Tokyo.

I will briefly explain Japan's history and show you both modern and old Tokyo. I especially like doing this tour because I could tell you some historical background that might not be known if you visited the sites yourself. I like history, especially when Edo, former Tokyo, became the political center of Japan during the 17th to 19th centuries. That period was the foundation of today's Tokyo. I am sure you will better understand this metropolis at the end of my tour.
Why not explore Tokyo with me?
