Tokyo, Japan's dynamic capital, is a city where tradition and innovation coexist harmoniously. This sprawling metropolis offers a myriad of attractions that cater to diverse interests. Shibuya Crossing, the world's busiest pedestrian intersection, epitomizes Tokyo's vibrant energy, while Yanaka provides a glimpse into old Tokyo with its narrow streets, traditional shops, and historic temples.
Nature enthusiasts will find solace in Ueno Park, home to museums, a zoo, and stunning cherry blossoms in spring. The Imperial Palace Plaza offers a serene escape with its lush gardens and historical significance, providing a peaceful contrast to the city's bustling streets.
In Asakusa, the iconic Senso-ji Temple is Tokyo's oldest temple, surrounded by the lively Nakamise shopping street. Seafood lovers should not miss Tsukiji, renowned for its bustling fish market and delectable sushi offerings.
Ginza is the place for those seeking luxury shopping and fine dining, with its upscale boutiques and gourmet restaurants.

In particular, I obtained a Teaching English as a Second Language certificate from UCI Extension in the United States. I aim to be a relaxed and fun guide. I would like to introduce a variety of experiences, such as traditional and modern, high places and waterside, lively places and quiet places. As for food, I am very careful about food safety because my mother has a wheat allergy. I also love introducing delicious food. I would be happy if my guests could fully enjoy their visit to Japan.

My career as a tour guide began as a volunteer guide at the Edo Tokyo Museum located next to the Sumo Stadium. The experience at the museum gave me a good opportunity to learn deeply about Japan's history and culture. In addition, these experiences ultimately taught me the joy of guiding. I am passionate about sharing my experience and knowledge gained through my work with my guests. MY interest is not only the history but also Japan's traditional crafts like pottery,lacquer wear,wooden carvings, Bonsai, the way of tea, contemporary art, Buddha statues and so on.
