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!

As an introduction of Tokyo, you can visit 2 or 3 major sightseeing spots for a half day. It is a good way to enjoy the atmosphere of Tokyo within a limited time. 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. For example, Tsukiji and Asakusa Sensoji Temple: Let's stroll Tsukiji Outer Fish Market with about 400 shops and restaurants. The Main market was transferred to the Toyosu area but the Outer Market still attracts many visitors. I am always excited when I go there! Then, we go to Asakusa Sensoji Buddhist Temple, 1, 400 years old temple and Nakamise shopping arcade. There are countless traditional shops on both sides of the main street leading to the temple. I am sure that you will enjoy shopping for local goods along the street.
We were so grateful to have Sachiko to show us around our first full day in Tokyo. She adjusted the tour so that we could see what we wanted to see. She impressively navigated the sub and trains and taught us how to do so as well! She was kind and funny, and patient with our 4 boys ages 9-15. You will not regret touring with her and learning so much about the city and culture along the way! Thanks Sachiko!!
We had a great tour with Sachiko. We even managed to see Mt Fuji with no clouds which was great.
This tour was the second one we booked with Sachiko. A very knowledgeable and experienced guide she is, our half-day tour of Tokyo was very interesting. Sachiko made it easy for us to move around the Tokyo, despite extremely hot weather. Sachiko is a very considerate and accommodating guide answered all our questions snd went out of her way to make the Tour of Tokyo a fun experience fir us. Thank you, Sachiko! Irina
Sachiko is a great guide. She is very knowledgeable, patient and caring. We were a group of three friends on a half-day tour. We all had been to Tokyo before and had many questions, which Sachiko answered in great depth. Our interests ranged from food to religion, politics and architecture. Sachiko's suggestion of itinerary addressed all our interests and made for a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend her.
