Hello! I’m Ikuko. I live in Kanagawa Pref., next to Tokyo. After graduating from Doshisha University, with a major in English literature, in Kyoto, I started my career in Tokyo. Working as a bilingual secretary, my non-Japanese colleagues made me notice how unique our culture was and finally I passed a National English Tour Guide-Interpreter exam in 2008. Now I'm working as a guide in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefectures. Tokyo is an amazing city where you can enjoy modern Japan, as well as the collaboration between something old and modern. Also, Kanagawa has fascinating sight seeing spots including Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. FYI, in southern part of Kanagawa, early-blooming cherry trees usually start blooming late January. In my free time, I enjoy Japanese embroidery, going hiking, Kintsugi fixing, and bamboo works. Incidentally, I'm happy to customize the tour upon your request and it's possible to modify the fixed tours as you like. Please click the tour and send me a message first!

Tour by public transportation and walking/ Enjoy the Magnificent Sculptures and Pintings at Two Temples
Overview of your Tokyo tour
If you are good walkers who are interested in arts, you can't miss this course. Shibamata is well-known filming location for a series of Tora-san movie and magnificent sculptures in Taishakuten Temple will fascinate you. Ueno Park, which has five museums and one zoo as well as some sight seeing spots, is the relaxing spot for the local. At Kaneiji Temple, you are lucky enough to see the brand-new dynamic dragon paintings on the ceiling that was placed last year. After Ueno, please enjoy walking around in Nezu area which has rustic atmosphere. In addition to Imperial Palace Plaza, if you want to visit East Garden, I'm happy to take you to there and finish the tour.
