I am Translator
I am a long-term Japanese language and culture scholar with 15+ years invested in the field. During my life I focused on Japan, learning the Japanese language, and learning about Japanese culture, history, philosophy, geography, and society, and I also tried a few traditional arts such as calligraphy, bookbinding, and origami. I enjoy learning about philosophy, sociology, biology, and physics, especially astrophysics. I like to travel and experience new cultures and new food. I am trying to stay up-to-date by watching news and documentaries. My hobbies include listening to music, playing guitar, composing music, creating videos, writing, watching films, and playing video games.

Marek met us at our hotel , we had been e mailing our interests prior so he had a reasonable idea of our aims for the day . He adjusted as he went , planned an interesting route and allowed us to go at our own pace . We packed in shrines , temples , shopping , palaces , food across the 6 hours . He was knowledgeable and friendly and it was a pleasure to spend time with him . I highly recommend both Marek and the tour . Excellent way to start our time in Japan .

Our tour of Tokyo was exactly what we hoped it would be. Marek was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable, making for a a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Marek made sure we hit all the points of interests while keeping our 10 year old son involved and interested. Furthermore, Marek was happy to show us how to purchase tickets and use the Tokyo subway system, which made us much more comfortable exploring on our own in the following days. I believe a private guided tour is an excellent way to begin one’s stay in Tokyo. Thanks, Marek!
