Konnichiwa and greetings from the land of the Rising Sun!! My name is Mitsuru and I do guided tours in pretty regions of Japan, especially around Fuji - Hakone - Izu National Park + Nagano state + HOKKAIDO - please see my multiple day Hokkaido tour! Since the pandemic, I moved to Kanagawa, next to Tokyo, but I still do tours there. Especially for those who will take my tours out of the capital. My most popular tours are road trips, so travelers can enjoy special places, not covered by conventional tours or by public transportation. I would like to encourage you to support smaller Japanese destinations outside of the big cities (out of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka)! As a travel enthusiast, I ended up in the tourism world and I love guiding people. I lived in QLD, Australia when I was young and have been to many places inside and outside of Japan and sometimes I meet my clients in their hometowns overseas! :) PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING ANY TOUR, as I might be in talks with others travellers for the same desired date. Japan is a long country with 47 states with different climates from Hokkaido in the north (my favorite) to subtropical Okinawa (my ancestors land) near Taiwan. I have also visited different Japanese regions with a motor home during the pandemic. Every region is unique and they differ a lot according to seasons. My favorites are: 1) Autumn (Oct-Dec) and 2) Spring (Mar-May). Summer (Jun-Aug) is the toughest due to high temperatures and humidity. Travels can change people.. I believe in a new tourism based on E's": Educational, Entertaining with respect to the Environment. I am looking forward to meeting you and show you some beautiful parts of Japan! :) PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: * Travel insurance is NOT included in any tour, please have one. * If you have any FOOD or MOBILITY restrictions pls advise me. * WALKING is well involved in the case of TOKYO (approx. 15-20K steps). THANK YOU for reading my profile, have a SAFE and HAPPY travels!

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Welcome to TOKYO! The main gateway to the Japanese archipelago! The best way to experience and see Tokyo is by using the city's efficient public transportation system. It's no coincidence that Tokyo has the lowest car ownership rate per household (out of 47 states)! All of this makes Tokyo a vibrant metropolis, with people constantly on the move, encouraging exercise etc. I will support you in this discovery! Let's explore some corners of the city, beautiful and interesting places, but escaping the tourist crowds. From the next day, you are free to visit and explore the city on your own (if you are an adventurous visitor)! In terms of Japan, the best way to explore the country is through a combination of various modes of transport: public transport in the big cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya etc), our very popular bullet trains and express trains to reach medium-distance destinations, flights to cover distances over 1000 km (Sapporo, Nagasaki, Okinawa etc) and private transportation out of the big cities.
