Hi everyone, my name is Eunji Minami and I would be delighted to be your tour guide in Japan. I’m proud to be an official ambassador for ToursByLocals! You can check out my video on the link below! https://youtu.be/S841ftmlGKU?si=iC5tbBYH91A_CWjU Let me tell you a little about myself. I am originally from South Korea but have lived in Tokyo for over 15 years. I also spent 16 months in the UK studying English, so I am fluent in Japanese, Korean and English! My favourite hobbies are travelling, exploring tasty restaurants and finding lovely cafes to have coffee. Perhaps I shall be able to share some of these places with you! Since 2018, I have been working as a tour guide for a large tour company in Japan, and now I am delighted to be able to offer you private tours. I have experience of leading both large and small tour groups. I am passionate about my work as a tour guide and love seeing the expression on the faces of my clients when they discover an amazing new place! Having travelled all over the world I know how exciting it can be to visit a new country, but I know it can also be a bit scary especially if you don't speak the language or you are unfamiliar with the country. Let me be your private tour guide and you won't have to worry about getting lost! I am offering private tours of the incredible Tokyo region. The largest city on earth has so much to offer and is truly a city like no other! Tokyo manages to combine the best of traditional Japan while being one of the most modern, unique places you will have visited! Tokyo really is a "city that never sleeps" and these is always something to see or do, be it during the day or the night! I love living in Tokyo and exploring its many cafes, restaurants and boutique shops which nestle amongst the famous historical monuments from the past. I know you will make amazing memories from your time in Tokyo and will want to come back! I am able to customise a tour so that it suits you. For example, I can show you the famous historic sites of Tokyo if that is what you wish to see, or perhaps I could show you around the amazing, vibrant and modern shopping districts that this city has. I can arrange for you to have an unforgettable Rickshaw ride around the historic Asakusa area of Tokyo, an excellent opportunity to take some wonderful photos to remind you of your time in Japan. Would like to experience a traditional Japanese Kintsugi? If so, this can be arranged as well. Maybe you are a foodie like me? If so, I can show you my favourite places in Tokyo! I can guide you to the best Michelin starred restaurant's Tokyo can offer. If you would prefer, I can take you to "hidden gems" of local restaurants that I have discovered while living in Tokyo. I am also able to guide you on a tour anywhere in Japan and can show you the unique culture hidden in this wonderful country. I love meeting new people and am delighted to offer tours to anyone, be it couples, families, small groups or even larger groups. For tours in Tokyo I can travel with you on the ultra-efficient public transport system or taxi if you wish. For day trips outside Tokyo we can use public transport, or I can arrange for a driver and a car, however, this can cost a lot in Japan! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I look forward to meeting you and helping you create a once in a lifetime experience. Guiding licence in Tokyo. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

A full-day tour where you’ll discover the sights and culinary delights of Tokyo, completely tailored to your tastes. Explore the city’s highlights while visiting my favorite foodie spots, including hidden gems, sake tasting, great tea or coffee, and delicious local street food. This unique experience lets you enjoy Tokyo like a local. All restaurants and cafés are personally selected for quality and great value. I make sure you eat well while staying within a reasonable budget, and I’m happy to consider your preferences and dietary needs. Please note that popular places like Tsukiji Outer Market can be very crowded, so I usually recommend starting around 8:00 AM for the best experience. If you prefer a later start, simply book first and let me know—we can adjust the schedule. This tour is fully customizable. Feel free to get in touch, and let’s create your perfect Tokyo day together!

Hi, Eunji, I apologize for being a little late in completing our testimonial. My spouse found Eunji on Viatar's Japan website, under the sub-category "Foodie Tour by Japan". He found her website and service to be ideal for what we wanted in a guided tour, where she can customize to your food preference and your local favorite scenery. After an assessment of our wants and preferences, she customized our tour. Her suggestion of hiring a private car was greatly appreciated. Looking back, the tour was more comfortable and less stressful with the private car. Communicating via email and WhatsApp allowed us to keep in touch easily. I was able to communicate directly via WhatsApp, which is one of the best ways of communication via e-SIM, while your phone carrier doesn't always work outside of your own country. Eunji has a bubbly personality that makes one feel at ease, and feels like a long-time friend showing us their home city. Her knowledge about Tokyo and her attention to detail made the tour stress-free. and not hurried. She had customized the tour event to both of our needs, including some shopping, sightseeing, and specific foods we wanted to try. Eunji's connections provided us opportunities to eat at some restaurants we would have never been able to visit without her, including a private tea tasting & sushi lunch. She is tri-lingual: Korean, Japanese, and English. We would definitely book her again when we come back to Tokyo, Japan. Best, Cheryl M & Don S.

Incredible Tour! If you only have 1 day in Tokyo this hits all the highlights: Fish Market (A5 Waygu and Fresh Tuna), Ginza (Crazy Dept Store Food Floor), Shibuya Crossing, and Harajuku (Anime/Animal Cafes)!

Fabulous day tour with Eunji. Trust her recommendations she showed us some fabulous places and catered the tour exactly as we requested, We booked this tour on our last full day in Tokyo after a 12 day guided tour of the country. I sent her our previous itinerary so that she could fill in any must see items. She aided in creating a lasting say of memories and experiences so special that our trip would not have been the same with out her. Additionally, she was such a lovely person that the entire day seemed like traveling with a trusted friend. I highly recommend booking a tour with her to make the most of you time in Tokyo.

We spent 1.5 days with Eunji as our guide & she was incredible! She took us to so many hidden spots we never could have found on our own. She had so much energy and was such a pleasure to spend time with, we wish we could have spent more days with her! She gave us recommendations & tips that made the rest of our trip even more enjoyable. I can’t recommend Eunji enough - she is just the best! Thank you Eunji xoxo

We had the absolute pleasure of spending two full days in Tokyo with Minami, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. She is everything you could hope for in a private guide and more—knowledgeable, thoughtful, organized, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Minami brought Tokyo to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. Her depth of knowledge about the city’s history, culture, and neighborhoods added so much meaning to everything we saw. She seamlessly blended must-see highlights with incredible local recommendations—restaurants, shops, and experiences that felt authentic and perfectly suited to our interests. Her personality truly elevated the entire experience. She is warm, engaging, and incredibly easy to spend time with. Every moment felt thoughtfully planned yet relaxed, allowing us to fully enjoy the city without any stress. She anticipated our needs, adjusted plans effortlessly, and ensured that every part of our time together was memorable. Thanks to Minami, our Tokyo visit wasn’t just a trip—it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded every expectation. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Minami, for making our time in Tokyo so special!
