I’ve lived in Tokyo for 4 years
I speak English, Japanese
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.
This tour was absolutely the highlight of our time in Tokyo. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and could answer every one of our obscure questions about history, art, language, and philosophy. I cannot recommend this tour enough. I do sometimes write negative reviews (see my profile), so please trust me when I say that this is just an amazing tour!!

Felt comfortable with Marek from the start, as if we were friends. A great way to start my Tokyo visit.
