Welcome to Japan! My name is Chiaki. I’m a government licensed guide interpreter, a wife and mother of two grown-up children. I’ve been living in Tokyo for 30 years so I know the area well.
If you don’t want to miss popular “must see” places, wish to eat a variety of Japanese popular and delicious food, have particular interest in Japanese theatrical arts, architectures, gardens, tea ceremony and “kawaii” characters, or are tired of tourist spots and like to see the real life of people in Japan, I can help you.
My goal is to help you to make your stay in Japan as memorable and fulfilling as possible. If I can serve you to make your special trip more special, it will be my pleasure.
If you stay in the central area of Tokyo or Chiba, I will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel or anyplace you like.
We will take public transportation and walk a lot so please wear comfortable shoes.
We found Chiaki so very friendly she went out of her way to ensure we did all we wanted to - Chiaki’s English is excellent even understanding our jokes. Chiaki has great knowledge of Japanese culture and we saw places we would never have found ourselves. Chiaki is a fantastic guide and we have no hesitation in recommending her to you.
Dear Marie, thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure guiding you and Steven. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed my tour and that I could help make your visit enjoyable. I had a lot of fun spending a day with you. And the soba lunch was good! Oisii! Thank you for your recommendation! I hope that you travel to England safely and smoothly! Thank you again!
I'm always reluctant relying online reviews especially when I flew 14 hrs to get there. Im glad I did and Im glad we got connected with Chiaki. She is awesome we brought my 83 year old mother in law and Chiaki not only gave all the history etc. but held her arm much of the time, sheparded her around and made changes on the fly like saying it's too hot for her at the next site let's do this instead. Bottom line if your sitting on your couch in the states planning a trip to Tokyo and your bringing your parents and you want a low key, not rushed experience she's the one. 5 stars all day
Hi Mark, thank you for your fantastic review! I’m glad to know that you enjoy my tour! I’m also spending a joyful time with you and your family. Your mother-in-law is a wonderful person to talk with and I admire her. Thank you so much for booking me as your guide for such a long and precious journey. We have one more day together and I’d like to make it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. See you at 9:30 tomorrow at your hotel! Thank you again!
Chiaki was a great guide, full of local knowledge. We had an evening tour, visiting a number of areas with a few surprises along the way (stepping into the serenity of a shrine, moments away from the hustle and bustle to name one). Thank you for saving us from looking like tourists on our first day Chiaki
