ATTENTION!! Please note that I am NOT AVAILABLE in JULY and AUGUST. Hi! I am Toshiko. Welcome and thank you for visiting my page! I'm a tour guide in Tokyo. I like meeting people and showing them around Tokyo. When I went to university in Japan, I got a scholarship to study abroad for a year at an American college. After graduating from a Japanese university, I worked for a company that deals with study-abroad programs and had many opportunities to go abroad to take care of students. It was a fun experience to go abroad and meet new people. I came to think that I want to learn more about Japan because when I was abroad, I sometimes had trouble answering questions about Japan. These questions were things that were so obvious to me that I never thought about them. However, I have come to realize that such questions are actually what people overseas want to know. With this in mind, I have been reviewing Japan and guiding many people from overseas. I would like to share my experience and knowledge with you. I would like to make your trip very special and memorable. I would be honored to be part of your trip. I look forward to meeting you. *Pick-up and drop-off at cruise ship ports and airports are not available. -National Guide Certificate (English) -license#EN04661 -Trained by, and a member of the Japan Federation of Certified Guides (JFG) -Teacher's certificate of English -Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test

Visit one or two places
Overview of your Tokyo tour
You can certainly visit tourist spots on your own, but if you'd like to hear a little bit about the history and background of one or two places, and quickly grasp Japanese customs and culture, this tour is perfect for you. You can use this tour as you like. Please choose one or two locations. If you are a garden lover, for example, you can select two gardens. If you’d like to go shopping, you can include it in this tour. I’d be happy to accompany you. If you’d like to try street food in Tsukiji Market, for example, I will be there to assist you. Of course, you can choose two major sights. For first-time visitors to Japan, I will guide you on purchasing train tickets, transferring between trains, and proper etiquette, allowing you to enjoy independent travel with confidence afterward. Please make the most of this short 3-hour tour!
