FAQ

A: We offer professional guided tour services throughout Japan.

For individual travelers, we are happy to assist with transportation arrangements—such as train tickets—at no additional charge as part of our guiding service. While we are pleased to recommend hotels that match your preferences and itinerary, we ask guests to make their own hotel reservations directly.

For travel agencies and tour operators, we serve as a local destination management partner in Japan, providing comprehensive ground services, including itinerary planning, tour guiding, transportation coordination, restaurant reservations, attraction bookings, and on-site operational support.

A: Most of my tours are fully customizable. If this is your first visit to Japan, you may not know where to go or what to see. I’ll help you design an itinerary based on your interests, preferences, and what you’d like to experience.
If planning feels overwhelming, you're also welcome to choose one of my recommended sample itineraries.

A: My guide service is primarily billed by the hour. Standard rates for 4-hour and 8-hour tours are listed on my website, and the minimum booking is 4 hours.

For other durations, such as 5 or 10 hours, I provide custom quotes.

For tours within Tokyo, the guide’s transportation costs are included in the fee. However, admission fees for attractions (including the guide’s admission, when applicable) and guests’ transportation costs are not included.

For tours to destinations such as Nikko, Kamakura, or Hakone, transportation costs from Tokyo to the destination will be charged separately.

A: No. I can lead tours throughout the greater Kanto region, including popular destinations such as Hakone, Nikko, and Mount Fuji.

For other regions of Japan, such as Kyoto or Hiroshima, I can introduce you to highly experienced and professional local guides. While the actual guiding arrangements will be handled directly with local experts, all billing can be managed through me for your convenience.

A: No, I primarily offer guiding services only. However, for tours that involve traveling by car, I can drive at no additional charge beyond the guide fee.

Please note that expenses such as fuel, highway tolls, and parking fees will be billed separately.

For larger groups, a rental vehicle may be required. In such cases, rental costs and insurance fees will also be charged separately.
