Greetings! Tokyo is a vibrant megacity, and I'd be happy to help you explore and create your own unique experience. Are you fascinated by Japanese culture and history? I'd love to take you on a tour, tailored to your interests, and share my own experiences and unique perspective, as well as those of my growing family. Whether you seek out the well-known attractions or the hidden gems off the beaten path, together we can create something truly special for you. I've been a tour guide since 2018 and am confident in my ability to adapt to your needs. Tokyo has so much to offer, from traditional to modern cuisine, world-renowned whisky and sake, coffee culture, and more, all with hidden surprises waiting to be discovered. I first visited Japan as a tourist in 2008 and later became a resident in 2015. I cherish the food scene, architecture, parks, safety, culture, and the ever-present sense of discovery and excitement. Prior to my move to Tokyo, I lived in Canada for 15 years, where I worked as a unit coordinator in an Emergency Room. I was born and raised in France, where I worked as an archaeologist specializing in the transition from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages. I also had the opportunity to study German in Berlin and Korean in Seoul, both of which were amazing experiences. Apart from Japan, Canada and France, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia. My favorite landscapes are Iceland and Ladakh, where I love to trek. Spain and Thailand are my favorite food destinations; however, my most unforgettable cultural experience was in Myanmar. Though, Japan manages to cover all of these with its magnificent Japanese Alps, fantastic cuisine, and unique culture. Licence Histoire de l'art et archéologie Have shown Tokyo and surrounding areas including Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Fuji and Nikko since 2018 I am not a driver. I can arrange for a private car with driver or taxi.
