*Please message me before booking to confirm my availability. Every tour can be tailored to your interests. Hello and welcome to Tokyo. Please call me Kiki. I was born and raised in Tokyo and have spent my entire career working in the city center, giving me a truly local and insider perspective. As a professional interpreter guide, I conduct around 150 private tours a year, mainly for guests from luxury hotels, offering flexible 4 to 8-hour customized experiences tailored to each guest’s interests and pace. From an early age, I was exposed to international cultures, as my parent was educated on the East Coast of the United States and often welcomed guests from abroad into our home. This experience naturally led me to study intercultural communication for my university thesis, shaping my approach to connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Before becoming a guide, I worked for over 20 years in American-based interior design, specializing in office spaces and retail environments for international clients. I also gained experience in government-related organizations, universities, and embassies. I studied interior design in the United States and hold certifications including a Second-Class Architect license, Interior Coordinator, and Certified Domestic Travel Supervisor. In addition to Tokyo, I also offer tours to Kamakura and the Mt. Fuji area, and I am available for cruise port pick-ups. I specialize in creating personalized tours that combine major highlights with hidden gems, with a particular passion for art, architecture, and design. I would be delighted to share Tokyo and beyond with you in a thoughtful and engaging way.

One day excursion to the world's exciting city Tokyo
Overview of your Tokyo tour
This full day tour covers Tokyo’s Top 5 highlights and is perfect for first time visitors. I will meet you at the cruise terminal and accompany you throughout the day. Traveling by private vehicle allows us to see more of the city comfortably and efficiently. We begin in Asakusa at Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest temple, where you can experience the atmosphere of old Tokyo and stroll along Nakamise Street. Next, we visit Ginza, Tokyo’s famous shopping district, where modern luxury and traditional culture exist side by side. We then explore Meiji Shrine, a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by a beautiful forest in the heart of the city. Nearby, Omotesando and Harajuku showcase Tokyo’s fashion, architecture, and youth culture. Having worked in this area for more than 20 years, I enjoy sharing local stories and insights. Finally, we visit Shibuya Crossing, one of the world’s most famous intersections and a symbol of modern Tokyo. At the end of the tour, I can escort you back to your cruise ship or to your hotel.
