Hello! Konnichiwa!                            My name is Sachiko. I am a government licensed tour guide living in Sayama city near Tokyo and would love to show you all over my home country Japan. From the ever-popular tourist hot spots like Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, to the more unusual and rather unique local sites like Golden Gai in Shinjuku. Let me share personalized stories with you that will enhance your understanding of Japanese culture and its long history. I am a quite experienced tour guide. I have delivered tours for more than 1, 200 travel days since I received my license in 2006. I can create detailed customized tours, from single participant to large groups of 40 people. I will also be able to arrange a car, a van or a bus for your convenient transportation. I can build from a half day tour to a 2-week tour which is called "the golden route tour of Japan" . Please tell me all about your interests and the kind of places you would like to see. I am proud of my flexibility with scheduling to meet all of your needs, helping to make the most of your valuable time here. Before becoming a tour guide, I operated a language school in my place of residence for more than 15 years. I like to cook, visit art museums and do Japanese calligraphy. I also like to travel around the world and had great fun in many places which I visited. Because of my experience in intercultural business and my hobbies, I believe that I can meet all of your travel needs. I always enjoy meeting people and making new friends. Let's travel together!

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Nikko is one of my most requested locations. My clients would describe it as a must see site and is located 155km(96ml) north of Tokyo. Here you will easily be able to enjoy the serenity of nature and splendid architecture such as Toshogu Shrine, Yomeimon Gate, Rinnoji Temple, etc. The Toshogu Shrine including Yomeimon Gate is the most notable attraction of all the World Heritage Sites in Nikko. It is dedicated to Ieyasu(1542-1616), the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo Period. The dazzlingly decorated shrine complex consists of more than a dozen buildings set in a beautiful forest. I am sure that the amazing harmony of great nature and architecture mixed with Shinto and Buddhism will never betray your expectations. We will also visit Kanmangafuchi Abyss, Akechidaira Observation Deck, Kegon Waterfalls, and Lake Chuzenji with its scenic and mostly undeveloped shore in the Oku-Nikko(deeper Nikko) area through Irohazaka's winding roads.

We had a great day exploring Nikko with Sachiko. She met us our hotel and spent the entire day with us. She is very knowledgeable about the sites of Nikko and the history of Japan. We recommend Sachiko for your next tour.

Great tour of Nikko, excellently organized by Sashicko. She took care of organizing everything and buying the train tickets in advance. Even if it was a rainy day in Nikko, we really enjoyed it
