Hi, I’m Kaori Y. M. – Your Local Guide in Japan I’m a Nationally Certified Professional Tour Guide (Cert. No: EN01534) with over 11 years of experience, and the founder of Field Trip+, a licensed travel agency offering customized private tours (Tokyo Registered Travel Agent No. 2-8551). I also run a dance design brand called OTTONAL, and I’m the proud mom of twin boys born in 2018. I’m based in Nagareyama, Chiba—just 20 minutes from Asakusa, Tokyo—and I mainly guide tours in Tokyo, Kamakura, and nearby areas. I'm also a certified Domestic Travel Service Supervisor (Cert. No: 29-49-932), and currently learning American Sign Language (ASL) at a beginner level. I'm passionate about promoting accessible and inclusive tourism in Japan. What I Offer As a professional guide and travel coordinator, I create personalized, memorable experiences for travelers of all ages. My services include: Private car arrangements, Cultural activities such as: Tea ceremony, Sake tasting, Calligraphy, Home cooking classes, Kimono dressing, Washi-paper making, Edo Kiriko Glass cutting, Kintsugi and much more! I especially enjoy guiding families with children and designing fun, engaging tours for them. Being a twin mom myself, I also support families with multiples—I even founded the Greater Tokyo Multiple Births Association in 2021 and work in cooperation with local governments and medical associations as a Representative Director. If you're visiting places outside Tokyo, I can provide local insights and planning support for those destinations as well during we tour. My Approach What I love most about being a guide is connecting through stories—both yours and mine—and introducing you to the real Japan: how we live, what we eat, and what modern life is like here. My tours are not focused on academic or deep historical details—so if that’s what you’re looking for, another guide might be a better fit. But if you’re curious about contemporary Japan and want to experience it in a warm, personal way, I’d be thrilled to guide you. Availability Notice 📌 You can check my availability on my tour pages. I recommend to check before you message me to save your time. Basically I do not guide after 5pm on weekday as I’m currently raising small children. Thank you for your understanding! A Bit More About Me I’ve hosted over 1,700 guests from more than 30 countries—you can read their (mostly sweet!) reviews on my page. Studied at Sophia University (Tokyo) and University of Georgia (USA); did an internship in London. Formerly worked at Panasonic, now running my own company, Pastel Co., Ltd. I can also assist with business meetups and act as an interpreter during your visit. TOEIC score: 935 Trained by the Japan Federation of Certified Guides, and completed the Tourism Management Program at Toyo University and Tokyo Metropolitan Government. I’ve also lived abroad in Marseille (France) and Southampton (UK) with my kids—so if you're from those areas (or nearby), let’s connect! Booking Notes Most tours are available for up to 6 people. For larger groups, feel free to message me—I’ll create a custom booking page just for you. Children under 5 join for free. Additional guest fee: approx. USD $45 per person. I’m excited to meet you and share the joys of modern Japan with you. Let’s create a memorable journey together!

Kaori was a great guide through Tokyo! We were able to see so much of the city thanks to her help!

We were a group of 4 from Toronto, Canada and Trinidad & Tobago who were visiting Tokyo from Oct 5 2025 for 4 nights. We had an amazing 2 day tour with Kaori who showed us the highlights of Tokyo and was a fabulous representative for her country. Kaori was very professional, knowledgeable, attentive to our needs and able to respond to all of our questions with a quiet confidence. She was attentive to the needs of the group during the tour and provided valuable information related to shopping, allowing us to have a wonderful experience in this area also. We feel that thanks to Kaori we saw and enjoyed the very best of Tokyo and would not hesitate to recommend the experience to others..

Kaori was a wonderfully sweet and enthusiastic guide who showed us around Tokyo. She had several great suggestions for food and sights, and made recommendations that were incredibly enjoyable. She did a great job translating when we were learning how to play traditional Japanese drums and was gracious and a delight to be around. I strongly recommend going with her as a local guide for Tokyo, especially if you need Japanese-English translation

Kaori was very professional and efficient. We spent 2 days with her and saw so much of Tokyo. She was very accommodating regarding which places we wanted to visit. She took us to a delicious lunch in Harajuku. When we were in Japan, due to shortages, we could not purchase the Suica cards. Kaori let us borrow one of hers and gave us a pre-addressed envelope for us to return when we left Japan. This saved us a ton of headaches! PSA, download the Pasmo app to travel or you will be miserable. Thank you Kaori!

Kaori guided our family of two adults and 3 nine y boys for 2 days in Tokyo in an amazing way, we could not be more happy! She is very plesant, great with the kids, smart, knowledgeable and helpful. She also sorted out various bookings for other parts of the trip that I was struggling with. 10 stars
