About Tour Guide Mimi T.
Hello! I am Mimi.
I used to work for a travel agency, planning various tours and taking customers to many countries(over 20 countries) as a tour leader.
I really enjoyed exploring all over the world, experiencing different culture and sharing memorable time with customers.
Now I live in Tokyo with my family (2 kids), and I am happy to support you to spend wonderful time in Japan!
I'm born and raised in Tokyo, so I can show you more local and unique part of Tokyo.
Also I love eating various cuisine, so I can introduce you about 'hidden' gem restaurants and high class restaurants as well.
I can also make private tours to suit families with children and elderly people with disabilities from my experience at a travel agency.
Please feel free to contact me and I'm looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo,Japan!
Tours
Togoshi-ginza Shotengai Walking Tour (4 hours)
If you want to experience the real daily life of Tokyo, rather than visiting tourist spots, this tour is perfect for you! Togoshi-Ginza Shotengai (local shopping street) is very long—1.3 km long. Sprinkled along its length are about 400 different shops. Togoshi-Ginza does not have high fashion or high-class restaurant ,but it is quaint, and representative of the typical shopping street, that most Japanese experience on a daily basis. Let's take a peek into daily life in Tokyo with me!
Tokyo Art & Nostalgic Downtown Walking Tour
Yanaka is a place where old streets remain, which is rare even in Tokyo, and where you can get a glimpse of people's lives. A nostalgic space that retains the scenery of the early Showa era. A renovated old house houses shops selling local craft beer and freshly baked bread. let's enjoy the downtown atmosphere through modern art and food in Tokyo.

“ Tokyo site seeing ”
my family just spent the last four days with Mimi and I couldn’t recommend a better guide than her as we have special needs children and she was so good with them. It was like having a second mother with us at all times. She was also very knowledgeable about all the places we had been to, which was probably hard on her because we sprung things on her at the last minute and she still managed to take us to the places we wanted to see if you are heading to Tokyo and you require a guide. I suggest you hire Mimi as she is a fantastic guide and I couldn’t recommend her enough thank you Mimi for the best few days of our lives

Thank you so much for your wonderful message. I was so happy to be able to spend time with such a wonderful family as you. Your children are so charming and friendly, and they have really helped me feel better every day. And seeing you, Mell, always so kind and caring, and Glenn, always so positive and enjoying our trips, made me want to build a wonderful family like yours. I felt like I had become a part of your family, so I was very sad when we said goodbye. Thank you so much for having me and I look forward to meeting you all again someday! Best regards, Ｍimi

“ Excellent guide for family! ”
Mimi is a wonderful guide that cares for everyone in the group. She picked a great restaurant that had typical Japanese dishes but also tasty vegetarian offers for our daughter. She made a great itinerary for our visit in Shibuya with lots of memorable photo spots, excellent shopping and even helped out with the store managers to find the right sizes. With her history in the travel industry and her flawless English it is no wonder she is the best guide you can hope for to navigate this huge city with its vast metro system. We hope we will see her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an easy start to their Tokyo adventure!

Thank you so much for your kind message. I had a lot of fun spending time with such a wonderful family as you. I was also honored that you chose me to be your guide for your long-awaited trip to Japan. I believe that one day I will definitely meet your family at the real Oktoberfest:) Your trip to Japan has only just begun, so please be safe and enjoy it until the end! Kind regards, Mimi

“ Mimi is amazing!! Unique tokyo tour ”
Mimi was amazing! After spending 3 days in very crowded and tourist heavy places this tour was a welcome break from the crowds! Mimi showed us around a wonderful and typical neighborhood where Tokyo residents live and work. We walked down a lively shopping street and ate our way through the neighborhood! Mimi introduced us to various foods that were typical in the area. Mimi took us to a beautiful park in the area that was a former Samari residence. It was an amazing Japanese garden! We also had the privilege of going to the local shrine and to see it up close and personal- no crowds! What really made the tour for us was mimi! She was kind, knowledgable, and made us feel like we were her friends! Highly recommend Mimi if anyone looking for a unique tour in Tokyo!

Thank you very much for writing such a warm review. I am so happy that I was able to spend time with such a wonderful family like you. Even though I should be the one hosting you, you and your family always cared for me, which was very reassuring. If you ever come to Japan again, please let me know! Also, I would love to visit when your daughter has her own art exhibition! I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again someday. thank you so much! Kind regards, Mimi
