Hello! My name is Makayla. For me, being a tour guide combines two things that I enjoy: travel and connecting with people. I love meeting new people and exploring places with my clients. I offer tours both in Tokyo and its country-side that will give you an opportunity to see Japan from a new angle. Japan has been my home for 40 years. To me my host country is a unique place of contrasts, where the traditional and modern walk hand in hand. It's a country of ancient temples and sky reaching high-rises, of tranquil gardens and busy city streets. It is my pleasure to help others experience the charm of Japan through the unique perspective of a local, who also happens to be a westerner. I was one of the first Tokyo guides of ToursByLocals - I worked for the company until 2010. In that year I left for Santa Fe, New Mexico to pursue a degree in education. While there, I continued to work as a guide with a local tour company. Coming back to Japan, I resumed guiding foreign visitors here. My intention as a guide is to assist you have the most enjoyable and authentic Japan experience. The tours I offer are flexible and can be customized to meet your particular needs so don't hesitate to contact me with special requirements. I am looking forward to hear from you! - I have a Master's Degree in Science and a degree in early Childhood Education. - I am also licensed teacher and a passionate potter I am not a driver, and cannot offer driving tours.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Tokyo is a truly unique city, seamlessly blending the charm of traditional Japan with the innovation of the 21st century. This three-day tour offers a chance to experience both sides of the city—its iconic modern landmarks and its rich cultural heritage—at a comfortable, enjoyable pace, with plenty of time left for personal exploration. The tour includes two daytime excursions (each approximately four hours) and one four-hour evening tour. You’re free to choose the order that best fits your schedule. The night tour includes a visit to a traditional izakaya (Japanese pub) for a light evening meal. If you’d prefer a different type of restaurant, I’d be happy to make adjustments. If shopping is a priority, I can tailor the itinerary to include some of Tokyo’s best shopping areas or offer recommendations based on your interests.
