Hi there! My name is Hiro, I am here to help you make the best memories in Japan. I love art, culture, history and food. I'm a Tokyo local, but whenever I have free time, I always roam around Tokyo looking for something interesting or something new. I worked for a Japanese financial institution for over 35 years, and was in charge of global alternative investments such as private equities and real estate investments. I have worked with various kinds of people from all over the world. I always enjoy spending time with them. Around three decades ago, I visited Australia for the first time. At that time, I didn't know much about Sidney, Australia, but a guide showed me around the town. She took me to many interesting and exciting spots and explained its culture and histories. She made my trip extremely special. It was long time ago, but I still remember her name, face and what she did for me clearly. She became part of my great memories of that trip. That's why I decided to be a guide. I got the National Government License for Guide Interpreter in 2017. Then I started to work as a guide interpreter. I joined a team of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Game's official volunteers and was in charge of volleyball games. I helped many athletes in the game venue. I paid a lot of attention to providing support for them, especially because they tended to get nervous before their important matches. This opportunity was a great learning experience about how to support people from other countries. Unfortunately there were no spectators at all due to the Covid-19. Because of this, I was not able to meet many guests from all over the world. But, it's ok, because now you are here. Are you looking for a wonderful experience in Tokyo? If so, don't hesitate to call me. I would love to help you make your stay in Tokyo memorable and special. National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (English) Tokyo 2020 Olympic Game's official volunteer member I am not a driver but can arrange for a car and driver.

“I should have used a taxi tour…” — that was my regret. Years ago, I traveled to England. Although I had just arrived and was jet-lagged, I forced myself to explore London by subway because I had only one day. I exhausted myself. The next day in Oxford, the accumulated fatigue caused a fever, and I was bedridden for two days. Looking back, I wish I had used a taxi and allowed myself to recover gradually instead of overexerting myself after a long flight. Tokyo’s subway system is excellent, but rush hours, crowds, and stairs can be tiring—especially for senior travelers or families with children. A chartered taxi allows you to visit many sights comfortably and efficiently. A professional driver transports us smoothly, and I guide you on foot at each stop—creating a relaxed, well-balanced experience. Enjoy Tokyo in comfort with a private taxi tour.
