Hello! Konnichiwa!                            My name is Sachiko. I am a government licensed tour guide living in Sayama city near Tokyo and would love to show you all over my home country Japan. From the ever-popular tourist hot spots like Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, to the more unusual and rather unique local sites like Golden Gai in Shinjuku. Let me share personalized stories with you that will enhance your understanding of Japanese culture and its long history. I am a quite experienced tour guide. I have delivered tours for more than 1, 200 travel days since I received my license in 2006. I can create detailed customized tours, from single participant to large groups of 40 people. I will also be able to arrange a car, a van or a bus for your convenient transportation. I can build from a half day tour to a 2-week tour which is called "the golden route tour of Japan" . Please tell me all about your interests and the kind of places you would like to see. I am proud of my flexibility with scheduling to meet all of your needs, helping to make the most of your valuable time here. Before becoming a tour guide, I operated a language school in my place of residence for more than 15 years. I like to cook, visit art museums and do Japanese calligraphy. I also like to travel around the world and had great fun in many places which I visited. Because of my experience in intercultural business and my hobbies, I believe that I can meet all of your travel needs. I always enjoy meeting people and making new friends. Let's travel together!

Overview of your Tokyo tour

You probably would like to go as many major sites in Tokyo as possible within a limited time. Chartering a van or a taxi will get you to the best destinations as fast as possible. You can save time instead of walking from the stations to the sightseeing spots and avoid walking and going up & down the many stairs at the stations. Tokyo is a blend of pop culture and historical ancient culture. There are innumerable captivating attractions to see and experience. I will teach you all about this huge city from the latest culture to the deepest history. In this tour, you can visit five major sites, e. g. Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, a foodies delight. Then we go to The Imperial Palace, The present Emperor's residence. From there, the next destination is Asakusa Sensoji Temple, one of the oldest temples in Tokyo and Nakamise shopping arcade. After strolling Asakusa, we will be able to visit Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine and Takeshita & Omotesando Streets, If time allows, let's visit a Japanese garden.

Sachiko was so great and the tour was a lot of fun! She tailored the itinerary to what we wanted to see, and was so great learning our names and the involving the kids. She brought treats to share and was able to answer our many questions about Tokyo.

Taking our full day Tokyo tour with Sashiko and driver was a great way to see the city with our limited time frame. Sashiko communicates quickly with answers to questions. She allowed us to customize our tour and very often asked for our input. Sunday was a great day to tour…little traffic. She is friendly, knowledgable and energetic. We saw a cross section of the culture, religion and history of the city. I highly recommend her!

Sachiko was a wonderful tour guide and a pleasure to spend the day with! We loved her explanations of the sites we saw and their history. We especially enjoyed her sense of humor which made our day even more enjoyable. She recommended a great small restaurant for lunch and her English was the best we have heard of any tour guide so far during our trip! I would want to use her again if we are able to return and highly recommend her to anyone who has the opportunity to tour Tokyo! She was a five star guide!!

STOP SEARCHING..THIS IS YOUR GUIDE! TOKYO'S BEST! I searched for hours & read forums to find a highly rated private tour guide with a private driver. After touring with Sachiko, I can say that she IS THE BEST GUIDE in Tokyo! Our family had only 2 days to tour Tokyo before heading out on our cruise & I had a long list of things to see. Sachiko worked out a great schedule to see everything. She was so professional, passionate, & informative; her English was excellent, and with her experience, we avoided big crowds. She made us feel like family and even modified the schedule when our 2 y.o. was getting fussy for a fun park trip. I highly recommend Sachiko; she is one of the finest guides I've ever had the pleasure to tour with!

We had an incredible experience with our tour guide in Tokyo! She is a lovely and accommodating person who went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless. When my brother unexpectedly decided to join us, she promptly arranged for a larger vehicle to comfortably fit our entire family, which was a huge relief. She was always punctual, attentive to our needs, and made sure every part of our tour was enjoyable and stress-free. Her knowledge of Tokyo and thoughtful recommendations added so much value to our trip. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and considerate guide.

We spent three full days touring Tokyo with Sachiko, enjoying a mix of Japanese history, modern day, and shopping. We have been on several group tours in Asia and Europe and we could tell that Sachiko is a very experienced and professional tour guide. She accommodated our requests, added her own recommendations, and was very flexible throughout. Having the private car is a must to make the most of your time, and it helped us to periodically get out of the August heat and humidity. On top of that, she is a lovely person and we fully enjoyed her knowledge of Japanese history and getting to know her. We would book again!
