Hello! I'm TAKU. Don't worry I'm NOT TAX! With an extensive knowledge of history and love for this amazing city, I am dedicated to giving unforgettable experiences that reveal the essence of Tokyo and surrounding area. Tokyo offers such a variety of attractions and beautiful places such as historical and cultural places, parks, museums and modern buildings & towers. I have deep knowledge to guide from the historical point of view, Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Palace, Asakusa, off-the-beaten-tracks and many other spots in Tokyo. In addition, I have specialized skills to explain Sumo, viewing tournaments or stable practice tour because I have been a fan of Sumo more than 50 years. Beyond my tour guiding expertise, I hold a master's degree in Medical administration and financial planning, and I had worked for health insurance societies and pension fund, I can explain Japanese Social Security system while my guiding. Tokyo has convenient public transportation system, but it is still difficult for visitors to use without any difficulties because of using Japanese signs. That is when you need a guide, too. I have held more than 40 tours, bus tours, private tours and special purpose tours from March. In this 3 months, I got 7 excellent reviews posted out of 9 private tours (as of end of Aug, 2023). In September 2023 I concentrated Sumo Tournament group tours, 5 tours. I'm luckily to get 11 excellent reviews. I'm very happy to know my guests really enjoyed the tour and my explanation. Next, I'd like to have a good time with you soon! - National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter, English - A member of the Japan Federation of Certified Guides (JFG) - Master of Medical Administration - 2nd grade Certified Skilled Professional of Financial Planning I can arrange for a separate car and driver. But I can’t provide guiding while my driving because it requires special driving license in Japan.

Kamakura, the first samurai government located, retains the old atmosphere of the Buddhism and Samurai world. Escaping from the busy metropolis of Tokyo after 1-hour train ride, how about enjoying the tranquility and 800 years of Buddhism culture? In Kamakura era, Buddhism, one of two major religions in Japan along with Shintoism, attracted new believers. Zen Buddhism, known as "sitting meditation practice, " became popular among samurai warriors because of the fear of death from battle. On the other hand, the Pure land teaching spread among ordinary people. In Kamakura we can see the traces of that period by walking and visiting temples and shrines.
