I’m Jordan, originally from Jamaica. My path has taken me from studying in New Jersey to completing a B.Sc. in Actuarial Science back home, and eventually to Japan in 2016 — a move that truly felt like stepping into a new world. I’ve come to appreciate Japan for its safety, convenience, and the deep cultural value placed on doing one’s best, no matter the job. I live in Hachioji with my Japanese wife and our two young children. It’s the perfect balance of modern Tokyo — efficient trains, great food, and rich cultural attractions — and the natural beauty of nearby mountains and rivers where we love to hike and swim whenever we can. I’m fluent in Japanese, which helps me navigate local neighborhoods smoothly and communicate easily with the people and businesses we encounter along the way. Guiding allows me to work in a way that aligns with my passions. I enjoy meeting good people, learning from their experiences, and creating moments that have a positive impact. Over the past two years, I’ve led a variety of tours in Tokyo: hiking routes with tattoo‑friendly hot springs, food tours, cultural walks, and relaxed neighborhood explorations. I have a rather laid-back and calm personality. My goal is simple: to help you have the best experience possible during our time together. I’m always happy to offer tips, suggestions, or help with logistics for the rest of your stay as well. If you're looking for a friendly, relaxed pace with someone who enjoys meaningful conversation and showing you authentic Tokyo, I’d be happy to guide you!

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.

Hachioji, Tokyo, 193-0844, Japan
Takaosanguchi Station (on the Keio Line) leads directly to the mountain, so we can meet in front of the Ticket Gates there. I can also meet you at your hotel or nearest station if it's in the Tokyo area, and we hop on the train together from there.
