Hello!! My name is Yoshika Kumagai. I’m very happy that I am a tour guide. Why? Because I really like travelling, walking around and enjoy delicious food.
In particular, before going out, it is a pleasant time for me to plan, look for restaurants and spots worth visiting.
I’m interested in Japanese history, culture and tradition. How about you? What would you like to see in Japan?
I’d like you to know that there are many valuable and precious things about Japan, and enjoy yourself and experience wonderful moments in Japan.
Please let me show you Japan’s beauty and essence!!

I have lived in Tokyo for a long time, and I like Tokyo and really enjoy the life of Tokyo.
I love eating, shopping and cooking, so Tsukiji is one of most exciting places in Tokyo for me!! I think, not only for me and Japanese people, but also foreign tourists.
I’d like to introduce you to the quality and delicacy of Japanese cuisine, by seeing, tasting and smelling by yourself. Such gourmet experience with your five senses will give you unforgettable memories in Japan. My top priority is to help you discover, enjoy, experience and feel Japanese culture, gourmet and life with the heart of Japanese hospitality.

Hello, I’m Michiko Muranaka, a cheerful and friendly English tour guide. I was born and raised in the central Tokyo, Shinjuku. I have witnessed how Tokyo has changed from the 1960’s. Although Tokyo still has many historical sightseeing spots, such as Asakusa, Ueno, Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi and the like. You can find both modern and historical sites in Tokyo. After I got married, I moved to a beautiful port city, Yokohama. My house is located between Yokohama and Kamakura. Kamakura is famous as an ancient samurai capital and has many Zen- Buddhist temples. I also have a condominium in kagurazaka, Tokyo. Kagurazaka is a kind of unique town which combines both an old and international atmosphere. You may have a chance to hear traditional songs accompanied by a Shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument, when you stroll the back alleys of Kagurazaka. I know those three cities more than anyone else. Moreover, I have had a seven- year-experience as a volunteer guide before I became a licensed English tour guide. I really enjoy being with foreign tourists and showing them cities that I am proud of. There is an old proverb, “curiosity killed the cat.” In my opinion, it has changed to this, “curiosity widens your world and wisdom.” Let’s explore unfamiliar towns and try various kinds of Japanese food together

Hello from Japan! I am Eriko.
We have many good places to visit. Especially in Tokyo, you have many choices. At urban Shinjuku and Akihabara, you can feel the energy of people. In old areas as Asakusa and Ueno, you can enjoy exotic atmosphere of Edo. I want you to find your favorite place in Tokyo.
And please try FOOD here. Japanese food is delicious and has so much local varieties. Some may be unique or even weird. “Adventurous eaters” are wanted!
To become a tour guide has been my dream since I was a high school student. So I am very happy to introduce our country as a guide. I believe Japan is enjoyable for anyone, through the year.
Let us help you enjoy staying in Japan.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.

What is Japan all about ?
I have been obsessed with the subject since I became a national tour guide.

I fully enjoy four seasons in Japan like this :
KIMONO　 I have been captivated by kimono that is a sublime expression of Japanese beauty. Not only wearing them myself , I would love to help any tourists wear ones. UKIYOE I’m an art museum-goer and a collector of Japanese arts including some masterpieces by HOKUSAI, UTAMARO etc ; in reprinted edition .( They’re not expensive at all but absolutely beautiful ! )
ZEN & TEA CEREMONY Tea ceremony is an attainment method of Zen. I really get into the philosophy of Zen. My ultimate goal is “to live in Zen”
On top of everything, it’s always a great pleasure to accompany our guests and tour around. Now ,would you join us and explore Tokyo to know more about Japan !

Hello, I am Naoko Higo. I am an English speaking licensed tour guide. I like cooking, eating, traveling abroad and strolling through towns I have never been to before. Whenever I go abroad, markets are “must-see” places for me to visit. Discovering local products, eating local foods and talking to local people are some of my favorite things to do. I feel that doing these things deepens the experiences of my trips and make my trips even more memorable.
In Japan, I love Tsukiji. Tsukiji is filled with various kinds of foods. It is an energetic place to stroll around and to purchase a variety of fresh foods.
I am also a Kabuki fan and I love to visit art museums. I also enjoy hiking, the Japanese tea ceremony and writing Japanese “Kana” calligraphy.
Through these experiences, I would like to help you to make your trip to Japan an exciting and memorable one.
I hope to see you in Japan soon!

Have you ever talked with a Japanese middle aged man? I had been working more than 30 years in whisky, beer & wine industry.

My name, Shin 真 in Japanese, means honesty and sincerity. Although I am not sure I am honest or not, I would like to guide you with my sincere welcome. Please enjoy your visit to Japan and it is my pleasure to share your valuable time in Japan. Thanks.

Hello, welcome to Japan. I am Naomi, a Food Coordinator and government-licensed tour guide in English. I like watching movies at theater, baking and making sweets. One of my favorite Japanese dish is “nabe”, or hot pot dish. It is quick and easy to prepare. A variety of ingredients such as meat, fish, clam, vegetables, tofu and mushrooms are boiled together in a pot and shared them with family and friends. “Sukiyaki” and “shabu-shabu” are also nabe dish.
I wonder you could find a bit different side of Japan you have ever experienced—–everyday life and everyday food. I will try my best to help you enjoy your staying in Japan and make it memorable.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

I am Kaori, meaning perfume.
I love travelling and eating. I have visited over 50 countries so far with a backpack and had a great time.
I would like you to have such a fantastic experience in Japan.
Since Japan is an island closed a country over 2 centuries, an original culture has being developed. You should feel Japan is very exotic and interesting. But without explanation, it is difficult to know the great part of Japan. So we, licensed guides are here for you!
After guiding I would like you to have more interests in Japan.
Also I would like to guide by following the guests’ feeling and interests in order that they can get satisfaction after the tour.
