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

In this 7- hour Tokyo tour, I would like to show you the highlights of my wonderful city. We will leave your hotel around 9:00am and visit Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, The Imperial Palace, Asakusa Sensoji Temple and Nakamise shopping arcade, Shibuya scramble crossing, etc. Tokyo is a blend of ultra-modern and ancient Japanese culture, as well as a host to innumerable captivating attractions to see and experience. I will teach you all about this huge city from the latest pop culture to the deepest history. First, we visit bustling Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, the Imperial Palace, the present Emperor's residence. Then we go to Asakusa Sensoji Temple, one of the oldest temples in Tokyo and Nakamise shopping arcade. After strolling Asakusa we will travel by subway to Shibuya Scramble Crossing. If time allows, from there we go to Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine standing in a natural solemn atmosphere in the middle of Tokyo.

This was a great day for my wife. I had to work so my wife spent the day with Sachiko. She loved every minute of the trip and the great conversations. There was so much to see and do. Sachiko was fun and friendly and had a lot of information and knowledge to share.

Was a great way to see all the highlights of Tokyo in one day! Sachiko San was friendly, prompt, gave us great recommendations on what to buy, taught us how to use the Tokyo subway system, and took us to a great Ramen place for lunch. She provided context on what we saw and took great photos. She was everything we could ask for in a guide!!

Sachiko did such an amazing job with our customized tour. She was able to take us to all of the places we wanted to go and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. She was great with the kids and made sure they were happy. She is a great tour guide who really cares about your family and making sure you are having a wonderful time. I highly recommend booking a tour with Sachiko!

Sachiko was so much fun and was eager to make sure I was seeing what was important to me. Her knowledge about the history of each location made it more meaningful. I wanted to visit a Japanese garden so she took me to Happen-en. So beautiful with Bonzai trees that were hundreds of years old. I'm so glad she knew the train routes because they were a bit overwhelming to me. Since it was just the two of us, it felt like I was sightseeing with a friend!
