“We were looking for a Tokyo tour that the kids could enjoy, and it exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Mr. Tanaka, explained things from the children's perspective and took us not only to Tokyo Skytree and Senso-ji Temple, but also to a science museum for children and a traditional candy store. The whole family was very satisfied with the trip.”

I was amazed by the deep knowledge that our guide, Ms. Keiko, had about Kyoto's history. She took us to hidden spots and a small local shrine where we could experience a traditional tea ceremony. It was an authentic experience I would never have found on my own. Ms. Keiko's English was excellent, making the tour both educational and enjoyable.

I came to Tokyo on a business trip and decided to join a tour to learn about Japanese business culture during my free time. Our guide, Mr. Yamada, was a former trading company employee and explained in detail about Japanese corporate culture and business practices. We toured the office districts of Akihabara and Otemachi, which provided a real sense of the business scene. It was very informative.”

I majored in Japanese history at university and wanted to share the charm of Japan with foreigners, so I started working as a guide. One of my most memorable experiences was when I guided an American couple. They were so impressed by the beauty of Kinkaku-ji and the meaning of Japanese gardens. Through their eyes, I reappreciated the beauty of Kyoto. Every day brings new discoveries through this job, and it is very rewarding.
After 20 years as an office worker, I turned my hobby—walking around Tokyo—into my job. I also offer tours tailored to foreign business travelers, leveraging my business experience. Recently, I guided a group from a Silicon Valley IT company, and they were very interested in Akihabara, where Japan's technology and tradition are fused, as well as Roppongi Hills, a modern office district. Through conversations with them, I also gained new perspectives, making each tour a fresh experience.
An American, John, and a Japanese, Ayaka, wanted to have a traditional Japanese-style wedding in Kyoto. Our wedding specialist guide, Ms. Nakamura, provided full support. She carefully arranged everything from selecting a historic shrine to recommending the best clothing stores and photographers, and guiding overseas guests. As a result, they had a memorable wedding that beautifully blended their cultures, and the guests praised it highly.
Michael from Canada, who uses a wheelchair, wanted to tour Tokyo. Our guide, Mr. Kimura, who is knowledgeable about barrier-free facilities, conducted a thorough pre-tour inspection and planned an accessible route. As a result, Michael was able to easily visit major spots like Tokyo Skytree, Senso-ji Temple, and the Imperial Palace Gardens. Additionally, a sushi restaurant accessible to wheelchair users was recommended. Michael said, "I almost gave up on Tokyo, but I had a wonderful memory."
