*Please send a message BEFORE booking. Konnichiwa, and welcome to Tokyo! Hi there, I'm Hideki, a National Licensed English Speaking Tour Guide, and my goal is to help you have an unforgettable journey that works with your personal taste. I myself have traveled to 40 countries in the world and 46 prefectures (states or provinces) in Japan, so I fully understand how travelers feel, expectation and uncertainty. Tokyo is an exciting place. In the heart of Tokyo, you can experience both traditional and modern culture. On top of that, you can also experience new cultures popular among young people, such as anime, manga and KAWAII fashion. In the western part of Tokyo, you can enjoy the beauty of nature that will renew your perception of Tokyo. Tokyo is filled with things that will tickle your curiosity and excite you!! Before starting this job, I worked for a global company. After taking early retirement from the company, I studied abroad in the U. S. for a year and a half on my own accord. I understand different cultures and diversity. I am open minded, friendly and flexible. I'm looking forward to meeting you. I can customize my tours according to your needs. - National Licenced Tour Guide (English) No.EN04784 - TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) at University of California San Diego - English Proficiency Test (EIKEN): Grade 1

Hideki is a great person with a big heart and lots of local knowledge. We customized my tour so I could see some things that were of specific interest to me like the blooming wisteria and the quieter temples and shrines. Hideki is quite flexible in this way. He arranged for transportation so we could get around more easily and cover more ground in our day together. I highly recommend him.
Hedeki crafted a tour of Tokyo that had the right balance of history, architecture, culture and modern day interests. He even tailored an itinerary based on our express interest. Very personable, fun and engaging guide. Excellent communication before and during our tour. Loved it!
Don't look any further, book this tour with Hideki ! Organized, informational, and he hits all the highlights in one day. We really enjoyed everything, including great lunch spot in fish mkt, and snacking along the way.
Hideki was a knowledgeable and professional guide. He balanced the major site's in Tokyo with some local flavor and a great sushi lunch in the market. A great introduction to Tokyo.
I booked Hideki for my family’s first full day in Tokyo. He is an excellent tour guide who took us to major sites, shared Japanese history and culture, and took photos. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and speaks English very well. I highly recommend him. Hideki is fantastic and my wife and 2 sons (20 and 22) loved the tour.
Hideki was great! He was very knowledgeable and thorough. The weather did not cooperate but he got us through the day. We appreciated how he readily took photos of us. His English was excellent and he was patient and kind.
