Hi, I am Junko, a national licensed tour guide in English. I can also speak Italian to have a normal conversation. I was born and raised in Tokyo so I could say that I know Tokyo inside out. I believe Tokyo is one of the most beautiful and traditional cities as well as a modern and exciting one. In addition to famous tourist sites, there remain many attractions and must-see spots that are not well known among tourists. I have experiences in Japanese calligraphy, flower arrangement, and tea ceremony. I love flowers and visiting gardens. I also love cooking and eating. I like Japanese history and cultures that are closely related to Japanese religions, Shintoism and Buddhism. So I studied Buddhism for two years in English to provide foreign visitors with information about Japanese history and cultures more properly. I have had experiences of guiding foreign tourists as a volunteer guide for several years before becoming a licensed tour guide in 2017. So I can give you useful suggestions in traveling Japan. I truly like meeting people from different countries and cultures, and sharing the fun of discovering Tokyo and its vicinity. I can always tailor the tour to fit your interests and prepare an itinerary so that your stay will be unforgettable. Why don't you explore Tokyo with me? Please feel free to contact me at any time! I am looking forward to meeting you in Tokyo. - National Government Licensed Tour Guide (Registration number EN04937) - Certified Domestic Tour and Travel Planner I am not a driver. I can accompany you in public transportation(subway, JR line, Bus, or taxi), in your vehicle, or I can help your arrangement for a separate car and driver.

Junko was kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable of Tokyo. I would highly recommend her! The tour was well planned, efficient and covered all areas we were interested in seeing and learning about.

Junko was genuine helpful & knowledgeable. She really managed to get us in & around the enormous crowds at the fish market, & gave us a more authentic insight into how Tokyo residents really manage their shopping! It was fabulous seeing all the amazing fresh produce & I gorged myself on the incredible seasonable strawberries. We had a lovely walk strings some of the more historic backstreets of Tokyo & got to meet a resident who’s family have been 5 generations in the same shop, making & selling rice crackers. We visited the Nezu shrine & had some excitement when 6 fire engines roasted into the shrine grounds. The walk through the cemetary was fascinating, & Junko exposed the meaning of the markers & symbols. Ueno Park, with the Rodin sculptures was attractive. We finished up in ‘Ramen Street’ for lunch, which was a delicious experience! Junko really knows this city & her knowledge really expanded our enjoyment of it. She was most attentive & helpful. Thank You.

Junko - thank you for an amazing day in Tokyo. Delaney, Cameron and I enjoyed spending the day with you and learning about Shrines and Temples. Thank you as well for being flexible and taking us to purchase a tuna knife and rice bowls for Delaney. It was a pleasure to be with you.

Junko was a delight to work with as a travel agent. She was responsive and offered wonderful suggestions to help tailor my clients' private tour to their interests. My clients messaged me to say they loved Junko as their guide! She gave a glimpse of Japanese life, mini history lesson and exactly what they hoped to see! She taught them how to use the train system and bus system and recommendations for the rest of their trip. She was excellent! Highly recommend for families, couples, solo travelers... Junko is wonderful to work with!
