ATTENTION!! Please note that I am NOT AVAILABLE in JULY and AUGUST. 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

Not only did we see some of the usual fantastic...

Pre-tour questions were quickly...
