*I'm committed to introducing Tokyo's most iconic and must-see landmarks. If you're looking for more local, off-the-beaten-paths and hidden gems, other guides/tours would be better fit. *My tours are all walking tours using public trains. *The maximum number of people I can guide is 4. Would you like to experience a unique and unforgettable trip to Tokyo with a professional, friendly, and passionate local guide? As a licensed tour guide with over seven years of experience in Tokyo, I would love to share my expertise and hospitality to ensure you have a truly remarkable time in this vibrant city. As a certified private tour guide, my goal is to provide a stress-free, enjoyable, and immersive experience that feels like being shown around by a local Japanese friend. My name is Koichiro, but you can call me Koji as well. After spending three years studying English in Southern California, I returned to Japan and earned my national tour guide certification in 2016. Since then, I have guided countless visitors through Tokyo. Unlike fixed group tours, my tours are flexible—no rigid schedules or formalities. You can adjust your itinerary at any time to match your interests or accommodate unexpected changes. I genuinely love meeting new people and would be delighted to guide you through Tokyo, sharing both my professional insights and my personal local experiences. Whether you're looking for must-see attractions or authentic restaurants, I’ll ensure you experience the very best of Tokyo. I’d be happy to create a customized travel plan tailored to your preferences and remain flexible to any requests. Feel free to book my tour or message me with any questions or suggestions—I look forward to making your trip unforgettable!

Koji was a good tour guide and he showed us all the places that we wanted to go. Sometimes it seemed like he was in a hurry, walking ahead of us and we would've liked a little bit more information about some of the places all in all, we had a good time and we saw all the attractions that we were hoping to see we would use your company again on a trip
Stella G.United States
Highly recommend the tour guide. Communicated itinerary well, very flexible, and taught us many things about Japanese history and culture. He took us to a GREAT restaurant in Tsukiiji market and recommended another restaurant later that evening for dinner that was spectacular!!! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with him.

Koji was a great tour guide. We actuall booked him ofr two days in a row. He wasw very accomodating as we had some mobility issues and rain to work around. Saw some great art museums on a rainy day. Highly recommended!
Robert D.United States
Koichiro Was wonderful. We have very specific agenda and things we wanted to see and shop for. He did research, was kind and patient with my family. Knew exactly where to take us and was fun to be around. He is highly knowledgeable and I can’t recommend enough.
Michelle S.United States
Koji was an excellent guide! He was so helpful in showing us how to navigate the trains, was invaluable in helping us navigate our sons food allergies for our time in Japan, and was wonderful in sharing cultural knowledge of the country and key points of interest. He was very friendly and easy to connect with, especially with a shared interest of anime and culture.
