Hello. My name is Eiichi and my nick name is Eddy. So, please call me Eddy because Eiichi is difficult for visitors to pronounce. I am a "National government licensed guide interpreter" certified by Japanese government. I offer private tours around Tokyo and I am flexible and open to customizing your tours. I was born and live in Chiba prefecture, which is next to Tokyo and I have worked in Tokyo for more than 20 years. My hobby is ceramic art, golf, and Zen meditation, and I like traveling and reading history books. Based on these experience and knowledge, I will introduce Japanese culture and history. I used to work as an engineer for one of major electronic manufacturers which exports communication systems and components to overseas. Through the job, I visited many countries including New Zealand where I fortunately stayed for four years with my family. I have found it fun to communicate with people in other countries. So, after my recent retirement, I started to work as a guide interpreter. I'm looking forward to meeting visitors who are interested in Japanese beautiful nature, unique culture, variety of foods or history. - National government licensed guide interpreter (English) (Cert No. EN01121) -Domestic travel business handling manager (Cert No. 03-53-1626) - Authorized domestic tour conductor I do not drive a car with customers due to local regulation. If a customer requests to use a car, I can arrange a taxi.
