Hello. I am Keiko, a nationally licensed tour guide for English-speaking tourists. I love traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. When I was young, I embarked on a long journey to explore more about my life. I settled in a small town in Illinois, USA, enjoying a new life while studying at the state university, and then moved to Florida to work for a while. After coming back to Japan, I have been working in downtown Tokyo since 2008, mainly as a translator and sometimes as an interpreter in various fields, including central government offices, TV stations, and a university. Seeing the increased opportunities around the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I transitioned into the tourism industry and am currently working as a tour guide, basically giving day tours of downtown Tokyo, Fuji & Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko. I love meeting people from different backgrounds, talking with them, and learning new things. That's why I enjoy hosting guests from abroad who want to explore Japan. Many local people helped me during my journey, and now it's time for me to give back. Come and meet me here; I will show you around amazing places in Japan.

Fantastic guide and lovely village

Nobuyuki (Sammy) was an awesome guide and I was really glad to have spent some time out of the city exploring Ichinomiya. If you're going in summer, I'd suggest bringing some sunscreen and a hat!

The Best of the Best!

Tomoko was the best guide that I could ask for. She was so kind & patient with me. I made so many changes to my itinerary and most at the last minute. I think a regular guide would be upset with me. But Tomoko was very understanding. She's especially knowledgeable with the public transit system and by the time the day ended with her I was able to even ride the trains confidently alone. I would like to thank Tomoko for a wonderful day in Japan!

Tomoko K.

Thank you for your excellent review! You are a gentleman and always consider me. It was challenging for me to guide Yokohama. However, you are such a nice person that I relaxed and we could visit everywhere you wanted to. We had a lot of time on the train. I enjoyed talking to you on the train. I am happy to know you have mastered the Japanese public transportation system. I hope I can guide you again in Japan even if you don't need a guide. Thank you again, Toku-san!
