== 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.

This private walking tour covers a mix of some of the most popular points of interest in Tokyo in one day (5 hours): I will set up the personalized walking tour which fits your preference and interests. I will ask what you want to see, what is your specific interest, or what you want to experience. By discussing with you, I am sure I can provide you the most memorable day for you. I would suggest to built itinerary to balance the old and new, busy and quiet, down town and green area, etc. Visiting some of the most popular spots in Tokyo such as Tsukiji Market, Meiji Shrine, Asakusa are good for first visitors, but it would be also considerable visiting some of my favorite place such as East Garden of the Imperial Palace, where you can learn how Tokyo have been prospered from Edo to Tokyo, or off-the-beaten path if you want to visit not so touristy place. With my flexibility, friendly personality, and knowledge, I believe you will have great day with me!
Sachi was an amazing guide and we really enjoyed our time with her in Tokyo! We had a multigenerational group of grandparents, parents and young children, and she was able to adapt the tour to make sure that everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Sachi as a guide if you want to learn more about Tokyo while you are there!
We had a wonderful time with Sachimi-san. Somehow she managed to fit in all we asked to see, even if it did mean jumping on & off trains & taxis. On our own we would not have covered half of what we saw....& none of it was rushed. As well as seeing the sights she imparted lots of historical & local knowledge, always with a smile. Best day of our holiday so far. Cant recommend her enough.
First, it was just delightful to be able to spend a day with Sachimi. She was an instant friend and so helpful during the months I was planning our trip, before I even met her. And she always promptly replied with advice about train connections and hotels when we were en route. But on our day touring Tokyo she was magnificent, with her knowledge of culture, design, food and shopping, adjusting our itinerary as clouds and crowds dictated. Our memories of Japan will always include the time we spent with Sachimi.
Sachimi was a great guide and I would highly recommend her. My wife and I and another couple toured Tokyo with her and she not only brought us to all the top sightseeing spots but easily helped us navigate the public transportation. She taught us all about Japanese culture including dining etiquette and Japanese customs. We especially appreciated her teaching us about Buddhism and Shinto temples. All of her dining recommendations were excellent.
Sachimi was great! Contacted me early to understand my interests and tailored our experience to them. She taught us how to expertly navigate the subway system and brought us to amazing restaurants for lunch. She had great suggestions for things to do and other places to see outside of our tours with her. Our two days with her was the highlight of the trip.
Our guide, Sachimi, was absolutely amazing! She was exactly what our family of 5 was looking for and put together such a memorable 7 hour tour for our day in Tokyo. She was pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, very efficient and in our opinion, priceless! There is no way we would have seem as many memorable places without her expertise. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Sachimi! You won't regret it!
