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

These clients were VERY pleased with the service provided by Eddie. He insisted on having a larger car which was a good choice on his part. It was rainy and they spent a lot of time in the car so it was good that it was so comfortable. He managed to organize the sightseeing so they had minimal walking and standing in line. He took them to an excellent restaurant for lunch. I told him his rates were too low. I would definitely recommend him to future clients. The clients loved him.

Eiichi was wonderful. Very kind and considerate, always had our best interests at heart and always concerned about our welfare. We couldn't have asked for more. He prepared printed itineraries for us and instantly provided additional information to help us get around when we were on our own. He booked a driver for us with a beautiful car who was also very considerate. We all had a wonderful trip with Eiichi and I would highly recommend him if you need a kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide.

Wow! Eiichi is simply a GREAT tour guide! My wife & I booked him for two consecutive days, to tour Tokyo and then Yokohama, then drop-off at our cruise ship. Well, then the cruise company changed departure port back to Tokyo, and so Eiichi kindly rearranged our sightseeing combination to suit that new schedule. We had a WONDERFUL tour on the first day: e.g. Meiji temples, FUN visit (and LUNCH) to the Ramen museum, etc. Then the next day was heavy rain; once again, Eiichi was quick to adapt to this inclement weather (e.g. indoor museums, and drive-around of Imperial-Palace). I highly recommend him !!!!!

Excellent and highly informative tour of Tokyo highlights in historic context. Use of private car gave flexibility snd great comfort. Beyond just information, Eiichi generously gave us practical help gor our next tour, teaching us how to navigate Tokyo station and use Suica cards. We would have been lost without his help!
