After graduating from university, I was assigned to Sapporo as a sales representative, where I spent 16 years. Have you heard of Sapporo? It's the largest city in northern Japan, located in Hokkaido, with a population of 1.7 million. In the winter, you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding, and in the summer, people enjoy spending time in the great outdoors. Hokkaido is surrounded by the sea, making it a treasure trove of seafood. I learned a lot about food during my 16 years here. I can provide the best information for anyone planning a trip to Hokkaido. I then spent four years in Osaka and two years in Sendai before returning to Tokyo. Therefore, I can also provide information about Kyoto and Osaka. But I spent the longest time in Tokyo, where I still live. Therefore, I offer tours centered around Tokyo. I got my guide qualification in 2018, but actually started guiding in 2023. To date, I have guided over 150 foreign visitors to Japan. Having accumulated extensive experience in providing one-day tours within Tokyo for FIT, I offer customizable tours based on guest preferences in areas such as Asakusa, Ueno, Yanaka-Ginza, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Shibuya, Tsukiji Outer Market, the Imperial Palace/East Gardens, and various parks throughout the city. My tours are designed to delight all age groups, from seniors to kids. I know the best photo spots so I can provide everyone on the tour with a memorable photo. Guests who join my tours always take lots of photos with a smile on their face.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Kawagoe is located about 30-40 minutes by train from central Tokyo, making it a great a day trip destination and one that I love taking guests to. Its main street, lined with Kurazukuri (clay-walled warehouse-styled) buildings, retains an ambience reminiscent of an old town from the Edo Period (1603-1867) and allows us to imagine the streets from past centuries such as 'Samurai Period'. Thereby, Kawagoe became known as "Little Edo". 'Edo' is former name of Tokyo. I chose the most impressive spots in Kawagoe City from the viewpoint of limited time as a day trip. The transportation from Tokyo to Kawagoe is basically the train such as Tobu line (private railway company) or JR depending upon the location of your staying area. My basic plan is visit Kitain Temple, Hikawa shrine and Kurazukuri Zone(Old storehouse zone). If time allows, I will guide you to Kawagoe Castle . In the city, we will use Bus and will walk a lot.
