Hello! My name is Chie. I am a professional licensed private tour guide. I live near Shibuya and I am enjoying an urban life strolling around shopping areas, natural gardens and art museums.

I want to help you to discover natural and historical wonders and feel Japanese culture and lifestyle. Please tell me your interests and requests. I can customize the tour for you. I look forward to hearing from you ! *Limited availability for July and August 2026, please check my calendar before reaching out* Government licensed guide My English ability is conversational.

Make your own tea ceremony at my home
Overview of your Tokyo tour
Tea ceremony, "Sado" or "Chanoyu" called in Japanese, is the mixture of Japanese culture, pottery, lacquerware, flower arrangement, calligraphy and so on. The simple and beautiful technique is completed about 400 years ago and has been handed down. I will take you to the old Japanese world with my hospitality towards you. Please come to my apartment and enjoy learning it together, sitting on the Tatami floor calmly. It is located in 15-minutes away from Shibuya station. During the tea ceremony you can learn about the history, how to make green tea, Matcha, and many utensils. Feel free to contact me for inquiry.
