Before working as a Certified National Tour Guide that I started 9years ago, I had worked for seafood industry for over 20years with experiences visiting many foreign countries, such as U. S. A, Canada, Norway, Iceland, U. K. , Holland, Poland, Russia, Chile, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and others…. As well as visiting many foreign countries, I also visited many places all over Japan, from north to south. I used to live in the east coast of the U. S. for participating in master's program for International Community Economic Development where I met people from many countries with various backgrounds. With those experiences, I think I had got communication skills for people from various cultural backgrounds. And, those experiences inspired me to become a guide to introduce my country, Japan to people from all over the world. I think Japan is very attractive country on both culture and nature. I am a Certified National Tour Guide who is authorized by Japan National Tourism Agency which is an external bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. I also have a license of domestic itinerary administration manager. It is posslbe to offer you customized tours depending on your request as well.

Tokyo is a big city with 14million people. Most of people who live in Tokyo are from other places in Japan. You will visit old Tokyo, or downtown of Tokyo, such as Nezu, Yanaka, Ueno and Okachimachi area. I am sure you will find different Tokyo in the area. You come across nostalgy and quiet "shitamchi" which means downtown where Tokyo-origin people or "Edokko" live. Let's explore and discover different face of Tokyo!
Shoji - san made our private tour wonderful by taking us to exactly what we wanted to see and making it even more special. The sushi restaurant he chose was great and we really enjoyed. He was also very kind, very informative and gave us great information about what do at shrines. We highly recommend him.
Shoji made touring very interesting and complete by providing historical and cultural context. He was intuitive about understanding our interests as he planned and conducted the tour. His English language skills are excellent.
We had a great day exploring Tokyo with Shoji, who speaks excellent English and was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was fun and we saw so many interesting sights. He brought us to a delicious restaurant for lunch and it felt like we were hanging out with a new friend for the day. Would highly recommend taking a tour with Shoji!
The tour with Shoji was awesome! He took us to places we would never have discovered and is super knowledgable on Japanese history. Was a great experience. Highly recommend!
