== Please send a message before booking! Thank you! === Hello or "Konnichiwa!" I am Sachimi, a nationally licensed English-speaking Private Tour Guide living in Tokyo. I have guided more than 1200 people from over 40 countries in the past 3 years after the pandemic. I enjoy meeting people from different cultural backgrounds and sharing them with each other! I am also eager to share the beauty and great aspects of Tokyo I was born in Kobe, in the Western part of Japan, near Kyoto. More recently, I have been living in Tokyo for 18 years. I have one son who is 17 years old. While I have already lived in Tokyo for quite a long time, I always discover many new and intriguing things that I am eager to share with my private tour clients. Tokyo has so many things to see and do, many attractive sightseeing spots and experiences including nature. I would love to show you around the iconic sights of Tokyo as well as the numerous hidden gems off-the-beaten tourist path. All of my tours are private and fully customizable to meet your personal desires and interests. My interest in Japanese culture includes traditional arts and crafts, Japanese tea and confectionery, calligraphy, Kimono, traditional tea ceremonies and theater such as Kabuki, Noh and Bunraku. I also love to stroll around town enjoying the lovely gardens and historic architecture. I have always been interested in or curious about cultural activities, and I have experienced some of them by myself. I have practiced calligraphy, tea ceremony, making Japanese confectionery and even know how to wear Japanese Kimono the traditional way! "Treasure every encounter" is the primary teaching by Sen-no Rikyu, the perfecter of the tea ceremony, and means each encounter you experience is a very precious and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I really like this concept and I am doing my best to embrace it by showing my heartfelt hospitality to all the guests I meet! I am a friendly, personable, and adaptable person and will provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable tour with traditional hospitality, "omotenashi" in Japanese. Please let me help you experience these magnificent things during your visit to Japan. You will have a truly memorable experience! Warm regards, Sachimi National Licensed Tour Guide (English) No.EN03644 Certified Domestic Itinerary Control Manager I am not able to provide early morning (before 9 AM) or night tours due to family commitments. I am not a driver, but I can arrange a private car separately if you request for your tour.

It was quite a task we set Sachimi to design a tour that wasn't for tourists!? From the moment we met to the sad goodbyes the journey was joyous. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of Japan and Tokyo, yet revealing the local nuances Sachimi covered it all. We had such fun! Impeccable English and demonstrated as much interest in us as we did the local culture. A wonderful day with a great guide! We would not hesitate to highly recommend. M&C
Ellen M.United States
Outstanding guide!! Can't stop thinking about what a great day we had together. She showed us the highlights of Tokyo, told us history and wonderful stories, and was such fun. As a tour guide myself, I can be critical and all I can do is rave about her!
Susan E.United States
A friend and I were particularly interested in seeing gardens in Tokyo, and I am so glad that we booked Sachimi. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the city, she also loved the gardens and could explain their cultural significance.
Maria Vincenza S.Canada
Sachimi was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable, attentive and an absolute pleasure. She made our day memorable, educational and most enjoyable. We would definitely hire her again.
Lisa C.United States
We had two full days with Sachimi which we had planned and sorted with her ahead of time. She was prepared, knowledgeable, thorough and extremely personable! We would recommend her highly to anyone traveling to Japan!!
