Hi! My name is Nobu and I am a professional and experienced tour guide in Tokyo, Japan. I have been working as a government-licensed private tour guide since 2007. Welcome to Tokyo! I have a special passion to make people from all different cultures feel Tokyo is their hometown. I am a friendly and cheerful person and treat my guests as if they were my friends. I know Tokyo from its famous tourist attractions and museums to its off the beaten path neighborhoods, along with the CULTURE and the HISTORY as I am organizing tour-guide association 'Japan Culture Club'. I can show you things that you won't see on a regular tour bus. And I like to give interesting insights of Tokyoite life, therefore instead of having a monologue-type observation of the city, you will inter into friendly discussion and learn about the country through local eyes. Later in the day when you get thirsty and hungry from exploring I can assist you in finding the best Sake and Japanese food the city has to offer, from the Japanese beer joint, as well as the fanciest restaurants. I also like to drink and I am a Japanese Sake sommelier too. I am used to working with smaller groups so I offer very personal service always according to my guest's interests and wishes. Areas to be visited can be tailored to suit your particular interests. I am available from 8:00 am - 11 pm, 7 days a week including public holidays at very short notice! We make extensive use of public transport in the vast majority of my walking tours to give you a real feel of what it is like to live in Tokyo. HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY MY TOURS!

During this amazing 6 hours' private walking tour, I will take you to the most popular sights of Tokyo. My favorite place to take traveler to is where tradition and modernity meets. I am a government licensed local tour guide with more than 10 years experience! I know most of the corners and the details of this beautiful city. There is lot to do and a lot to see in Tokyo. . . I have many suggestions, but maybe you have your own ideas, your own wishes, but without knowing the city it might be a bit difficult to make those wishes come true. This tour is yours, to do what you want, and see what you are looking for, so I am here to make sure that happens! I will show you the special things that make Tokyo great. Itinerary depends on your pace.
Nobu was excellent in all areas from getting us from our hotel to all the locations we wanted to visit. He was very knowledgeable about the locations and adjusted the pace of the tour to our pace, which was very appreciated. We definitely would book Nobu again.
Nobu is an excellent guide, very professional and friendly.
Great guide. Very knowledgable, friendly and easy to get on with. 5 stars
Nobu-san was very helpful and my daughter is so happy with her manga books.
Very Happy. A great way to spend a day when our stay was short. We saw Tokyo through a local's eye. We asked to go to and see things that we wouldn't find on our own and Nobu delivered. The transport system was negotiated with ease. We ate and drank with locals in eateries we would never have found. We learnt a lot as Nobu answered our questions and shared his knowledge. Sakura at its best and it was also the naming of a new era in Japan's history. Unforgettable.
This private tour with Nobu was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and thorough, and he explained the customs at the sites we visited. We were able to have some unusual experiences, such as seeing the procession of priests at the Meiji Shrine, viewing the city from a high building, or being interviewed on the street by a popular Tokyo TV program. He was considerate and accommodating to all our wishes, and it was a most enjoyable tour.
Meet at your hotel or wherever you are in downtown-Tokyo. Here are some recommended things to see: 3 places to visit are practical. Of course, it depends on our pace though. - Asakusa Sensoji (Oldest temple and oldest shopping street) - Imperial Palace Square - East Garden (former Edo castle grounds) - Meiji Shrine (Imperial shrine) - Tsukiji Fish Market (Tsukiji outer market) - Ueno Park (museum complex and zoo) - Ginza (high-end shopping street) - Harajuku (young girls' fashion street) - Akihabara (Electronics town and comic enthusiasts' town) - Shibuya (like Times Square) - Tokyo Tower (333m high, needs admission Yen 820) - Odaiba (New Seaside city, futuristic city of 21C) Return to the place of your choice in downtown-Tokyo. Walking tour may be altered or extended on request. Each additional hour - USD 40.

Nothing is faster than the subway and Japanese Railways, it's what the locals ride. If you prefer a taxi just say so.
