*In 2024, I had the incredible honor of being recognized as the NO. 1 most booked tour guide of the year—Not Just IN Japan, But WORLDWIDE—on the platform. Building on that milestone, in 2025, I was proud to receive the prestigious Golden Guide Award: Local Legend – East & Southeast Asia, celebrating excellence across the region.* Hello! I’m Justin, your passionate local host in Tokyo, here to show you the best of Japan’s rich culture, history, and modern charm. Tokyo is a city that never stops surprising me with its blend of heritage, futuristic design, and vibrant neighborhoods. Walking its streets, you’ll feel the energy of both the old and the new, and I’d love to take you on a journey to explore this dynamic city up close. But my tours don’t stop there—Kyoto is another city close to my heart. From the lively atmosphere of Sakyo to the serene beauty of Arashiyama, each Kyoto neighborhood has its own story, and I can’t wait to share them with you. As your guide, I’ll introduce you to hidden corners, historical landmarks, and scenic spots that bring Kyoto’s history and culture to life. Are you a food lover? So am I! Japan’s food scene is constantly evolving, and I’m always on the lookout for the latest flavors and traditional gems. I’ll guide you to some of the best local spots, from tucked-away eateries to popular favorites, so you can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine as part of your journey. Beyond food, I specialize in Kyoto’s historical and architectural treasures. I’ll take you to discover fascinating buildings, ancient artworks, and cultural sites with stories that bring Kyoto’s past to the present. Whether you’re into architecture, art, or simply curious about Japan’s history, I’m here to tailor the experience just for you. In 2022, I was honored to be chosen as a Kyoto Prefecture Friendship Ambassador, a role that lets me share my culture with people from all around the world. I’m committed to making every tour unforgettable, showing you hidden gems, and giving you a true taste of Japan. So, if you’re ready to explore, eat, and experience Japan like a local, let’s make your next adventure truly special together!
