Hey! I'm originally from Jamaica and have lived in America and Canada before settling in Tokyo in 2016. My background allows me to offer a unique, multicultural perspective on life in Japan. I’m passionate about music, nature, wellness, family, food, and sports. My ideal day involves exploring the mountains and winding down in a relaxing hot spring, and I love sharing these "tattoo-friendly" hidden gems with my guests! Since 2016, I’ve led tours across Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and many lesser-known rural areas. Whether it’s a family day at the park or a hike up Mt. Takao, my goal is to be your local friend and show you a side of Japan you wouldn't find on your own. My tours can be customized upon request, please do not hesitate to let me know if you wish to personalize any of my tours. Let’s make some memories! I'm eager to show you a good time in Japan!

Explore Tokyo's Most Spiritual Mountain, Eat Ramen, and Relax in a Hot Spring
Overview of your Tokyo tour
I came to West Tokyo in 2016. It's an incredibly safe place with lots of families and kind, hardworking people. I got into the routine of working long, hard weeks, then finding a Hot Spring to go to up in the mountains to meditate and relax. This is one of the main things that has kept me here, and I think you will see why! The main mountain we explore has a strong long spiritual history, with a Shingon Buddhist Temple built there in 744 AD. Many Yamabushi monks live in halls within the temple grounds, and we sometimes get to see them doing their daily rituals - It's even possible to arrange for them to prepare a holistic meal for us! This is perfect for Nature Lovers, or just anyone looking to see a side of Tokyo very different from the loud, busy streets and skyscrapers.
