I have been giving tours in Tokyo full-time since Japan opened its borders up in 2023. I love showing off the best of what this incredible city, and its surroundings, have to offer. Arriving in Japan can be unnerving. Everything is different - people, language, signage, customs, and public transportation - which can be challenging to the best of us. I would be glad to assist you at your arrival, or during your first days while trying to analyze this strange and beautiful place. Let me help you alleviate any initial stress and make you feel right at home. Tokyo has everything anyone could possibly imagine, and then some. Kudos to you for taking on this great adventure. Are you a traveller who likes to explore a more traditional Japan with its temples and shrines, amazing food culture, history, festivals (called matsuri), sumo, kabuki, and daily lifestyle? Or do you prefer to dive into the weird, strange, and even slightly freaky side of life, a world full of tech, creepy vending machines, otaku, and wildly diverse entertainment? I love them all, those fantastic juxtapositions of Japanese culture and lifestyle. And I would love to introduce to any and all of it. Please choose any of my tours in either English or German. I do speak basic Spanish but unfortunately not well enough to offer tours in it. My tours are fun, enthusiastic, informative, and cover anything from beautiful highlights to rare treasures off the beaten path. I have lived in many counties, and travelled many more. I was born in Germany. Already at a young age I dreamt of exploring the world, set foot into its jungles and desserts, climb, bike, fly, trek, and walk where few have been before. I wanted to be more than just another village kid, grow, search, adventure, and discover life with its many different cultures, languages, cuisines, and endlessly different ways of being. Japan, in my opinion, is one of the most different and soul awakening places on earth. Let me share my love for it with you. I have been working in customer service most of my adult life. I also have travelled extensively all over the world. I have visited over 50 countries, many of them many times. Japan is the 8th country I am calling my home. I am a self-starter, love languages and cultures, people and kindness. These are my credentials. :) I am not a licensed guide in Japan. I prefer not to drive although I do have a Japanese drivers license.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Escape the city for a day and come with me to explore Kamakura by electric bicycle. We will take a train from Tokyo to Kamakura. After picking up our bicycles, we will cycle via the ocean front to Hasedera Temple. We will spend approximately 45 minutes at this incredible site, before continuing our journey to the Great Daibutsu, a 13 metres tall Buddha statue with a fascinating history. After that, we will cycle to a shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of water, where we will have the opportunity to pray for prosperity and wash actual money in holy water for it to multiply. We will then return to Kamakura Station to return the bikes, and continue on foot through the vibrant shopping street lined with local crafts and street foods before reaching our final destination, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Jinja. There are many options to sample local foods, or frequent a restaurant along the way.
