Toshiyuki K.

Japan

Hello！ I’m Toshi. I’m a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I was born and raised in Tokyo. In addition, I had been working for almost five years as a chauffeur. Therefore, I’m very familiar with both road conditions and sightseeing spots in Tokyo. Tokyo is a special city in the world which has lots of sightseeing spots both brand new and traditional, and Tokyo is very clean and safe. I’m very fond of this city. It is my pleasure if I can share with you about many attractive things of Tokyo City. My hobby is driving my car. I always completed nationwide all 47 prefectures by my own car. If you want, I can showcase many topics based my experiences, such as hot springs in the middle of winter, castle hopping, delicious local foods, and so on. One of my interests is calligraphy. I’d really like to be a master of calligraphy. I can also arrange tours that incorporate a calligraphy experiences. Next June, I will be opening a booth at an art gallery café in Brooklyn, New York. Through Japanese culture, I want to connect with people from all over the world.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

I'm Yukiko Fujii. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job. I've done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. Since I am one of a few guides who tried virtual tour in Tokyo during pandemic, it was a challenging, but it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children as well. I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide. I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. There are some common thinking between Tour guide and Nurse, both jobs are required to put myself into their shoes. I'll make plans considering their physical conditions and will arrange any supports after discussing about the tour. I've already experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed. I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime. I'm looking forward to meeting you in my tour! Arigatou!
