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!

Visit the Tsukiji outer fish market and experience making sushi
Overview of your Tokyo tour
In this half-day tour, we will walk around the bustling Tsukiji Outer Fish Market in the morning and have one of Japan's most famous gourmet food experiences. You will actually get to make your own sushi at a classic and long-established sushi restaurant in Ueno. The main market was already transferred to Toyosu in the Tokyo Bay but the outer market still attracts many people. I plan to tell you all bout the history of how sushi became such a popular food and tell you some of my favorite choices. After our stroll, we will have a sushi cooking class given by a licensed sushi master, a professional chef of a famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo. Two types of sushi are ready to make - nigirizushi and roll sushi. You will never forget this amazing and unique experience in Japan!
