I give tours of Tokyo and Japan!

Of course, I’m happy to take you to the most well-known spots, but I specialize in going deep – and that includes anywhere on my site.

I run private tours, group tours, and customized tours of all sorts.

Check out Japan This! Tours and share it with your friends.

I hope to see you soon and geek out on Japan!
