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.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

“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.

Hiro was our "hero" for our tour of Tokyo. We were just wrapping up a cruise and had an extra day and a half in port before we had to be at the airport for an afternoon flight home. So we booked a full day and half day tour. Since we wanted to spent the entire day exploring the City itself, we decide to use public transportation to get around. Tokyo has an amazing subway system, but with so many options, it can get a bit complex. Having Hiro taking the lead we saving a ton of time quickly getting all around the city to see the many sites . . . some on the standard "must-see" list, and some of Hiro's personal favorite spots. On the second day, our plan was to see some of the sights on the outskirts of the city before being dropped off at the airport. Hiro arranged a private taxi for this purpose. This also worked out great. While our driver focused on navigating, Hiro was a wealth of knowledge, sharing information not only about the places we were visiting and passing along the way, but also about Japanese culture in general. He speaking English exceptionally well, and was always kind, courteous and was a lot of fun to travel with. He made a point to find some nice spots for photos, and happily took photos of us with our camera phones. If Hiro is available for you trip to Tokyo, you'll be lucky to get him.

We had an amazing day exploring Tokyo with our guide, Hiro! From the moment we were picked up, everything was organized, comfortable, and tailored to what our family wanted to experience. Hiro was incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo’s history, culture, and neighborhoods, and he shared fascinating stories that made each stop even more meaningful. Having a private chartered taxi made it easy to see so much of the city without worrying about navigating trains or carrying bags. Hiro was friendly, patient, and happy to answer all of our questions while making adjustments throughout the day to match our interests. If you’re visiting Tokyo for the first time or simply want a stress free way to experience the city, I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip and created memories our family will never forget!

We will never forget the time we spent in Japan with Hiro and our driver, Sam. Hiro made our entire trip truly outstanding by preparing us to appreciate the remarkable scenery, history, and culture of Tokyo. From viewing the Imperial Palace to enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Hama-rikyu Gardens, touring Meiji Jingu and the Samurai Museum, shopping along Takeshita Street and in the Ginza district, and experiencing the famous Dogenzaka intersection and Tsukiji Fish Market, there was so much to see and absorb. Having Hiro as our tour guide exceeded our expectations and enriched all of our experiences throughout the days that followed. We feel truly blessed to have received such an exceptional tour of Tokyo through Hiro’s eyes and his passion for sharing his country with visitors. We also greatly appreciated his thoughtfulness in selecting wonderful restaurants for lunch, including LaVASARA and Akasaka. Sharing and enjoying authentic Japanese sake was another memorable highlight of our journey. Potential tourists can feel confident choosing Hiro as a tour guide. His extensive knowledge, genuine enthusiasm for Japan, and appreciation for his guests are evident in everything he does. His leadership style reflects the qualities of a true servant leader and creates a rich, authentic, and memorable experience for those fortunate enough to tour with him. Hiro made our visit meaningful and unforgettable. The memories we created touched our hearts and inspired us to return one day to explore other parts of Japan. Hiro, thank you so much for a wonderful two days in Tokyo. Vita & Janice

Hiro met my expectations as an experienced and knowledgeable guide, and my friend and I had two very enjoyable days with him. Our chartered taxi tour included a thoughtful mix of stops that Hiro suggested and places I requested, which made the experience feel both well-planned and personal. He also recommended fabulous lunch spots both days, which added to our enjoyment of the tour. As two senior women traveling independently in Tokyo, we especially appreciated how clearly he communicated, how comfortable he made us feel, and how well he took care of us throughout the experience. Travelers considering Hiro can expect a thoughtful, well-organized tour with real knowledge and local insight into the places he shows you. Thank you, Hiro, for helping make our first visit to Japan so memorable.

We were very happy with our tour of Tokyo with Hiro. He was a wonderful tour guide and took us to many of the popular tourist destinations and also other places of interest, explaining the history and background and giving us an insight that we would not have had on our own. He is a great conversationalist and his English is excellent, we were able to discuss many topics, not only about the places we visited but also about Japanese culture and traditions and everyday life in Tokyo. Knowing ahead of time that I had some dietary restrictions, Hiro arranged for us to have lunch at a 100% gluten free restaurant. We had a delicious 5 course tasting menu in a private dining room and really enjoyed the time chatting with Hiro and getting to know him a little better. His thoughtfulness in organizing this was greatly appreciated. Hiro also took photos of us at all of our stops and then forwarded them to us after the tour, this was also very thoughtful of him and something we were not expecting. We would not hesitate to recommend Hiro to anyone looking for a tour of Tokyo, he is an excellent tour guide. Special thanks also to our driver, Sam, who managed to coordinate all of our stops and was always in the right place at the right time.

If you want an exceptional tour of Tokyo, Hiro M. Is your guide. He quickly changed the start time of our tour due to heavy rain. This was so appreciated as we still had a full day of touring but not under rainy conditions. This was a guided tour in a new clean vehicle that easily fit 4 adults and also had our own driver! This saved so much time with drop offs and pickups as we and our guide didn’t have to spend time parking a vehicle. Hiro M was very knowledgeable, professional and entertaining to spend the day touring with us. We realized you need more then one day of touring this great city due to its size but Hiro was able to hit the hi-lights for us! He will make your Tokyo experience very memorable!
