I've lived in Japan for 37 years and worked for a major travel agency for 15 years, and now I work as a private guide.
My greatest strengths are my knowledge of the latest trends and my ability to provide highly attentive service to my guests. I'm confident in my customer service skills.
With this service, you can freely request the places you want to go and the things you want to do.
I'll take you to a variety of spots, from classic spots like Asakusa and the Imperial Palace to trendy areas like Shibuya, Harajuku, and Ginza, delicious restaurants, and hidden gems only known by locals. I can also take you to special spots for cherry blossom and autumn foliage.

Nozomu was an outstanding guide—organized, timely, and open to itinerary suggestions. His calm, friendly demeanor and genuine care for my experience made the tour exceptional. Has a great sense of humour, which also made it fun!!! He navigated us seamlessly through every stop and added meaningful cultural experiences and local meals that enriched the tour in unforgettable way.

We had an amazing experience touring Tokyo with Nozomu as our guide! He speaks excellent English and has a wonderful personality—knowledgeable, patient, and easy to connect with. Having studied in New York, he understands both Japanese and Western cultures, which made our tour especially enjoyable and effortless. Nozomu showed us how to navigate Tokyo’s subway system like locals and took us to some of the city’s highlights, including Sensoji Temple, Meiji-Jingu Shrine, Shibuya Crossing, and Golden Gai. He also introduced us to hidden gems—like the best ice cream spots and fantastic sushi restaurants we never would’ve found on our own. If you’re looking for an English-speaking guide who will make your Tokyo trip unforgettable, we highly recommend Nozomu!
