Hello, I am Chiaki. I have been living in the central Tokyo area for about 40 years with my family. I love history, art, architecture and dining, and I am pleased to share my knowledge as a local and professional. While I was in the UK, I started to look at Japan as an outsider. I found how interesting and attractive Japanese culture is, including its history, art, cuisine, etc, which has made me a guide-interpreter. Tokyo is one of the world's biggest cities with an interesting mix of tradition and innovation, skyscrapers and gardens, artworks and technology, and so on. It is also a paradise for foodies. Tokyo has all of such things in a very efficient and compact manner with a friendly entrance and a lot of complexity behind. You can enjoy Tokyo even for only half a day, but years might not be enough at the same time. I was born and brought up in Izumo, a historic countryside in the west of Japan, and I lived in the UK as well, but I spent more than half of my life here in Tokyo. It means I know Tokyo very much, but I can look at it from various perspectives. I am pleased to share my understanding based on professional expertise, not only on Tokyo but also a lot of places in Japan, with my new friends from all over the world! For my availability, please check the availability of my half-day tours. Thank you. • Certified National Guide-Interpreter (English; Cert.
