I am a Tour Guide
Hello, I'm Ayaka. I was born and raised in Fukuoka Japan, and have been working in Tokyo for the past 3 years. One of my greatest joys in Tokyo is strolling through its historical sites, such as Asakusa, Kaminarimon, Higashi Hongan-ji and Meiji Jingu Temple. Imbibing the rich heritage of shrines and temples fills me with a sense of wonder and appreciation. Furthermore, as an avid fan of Anime, particularly ONE PIECE, I find myself well-versed in the vibrant world of Akihabara. This energetic district resonates with my enthusiasm for the art form. I love exploring the city for great food at affordable prices, I like Street restaurant food, Sushi, Ramen, Tempura, Soba, Yakiniku, Matcha, and Sakura sweets, etc. When I have time, I enjoy immersing myself in Japanese cultural events like Kabuki and Sumo matches. I'm excited to share hidden local food and city landmarks with you, and I can't wait to embark on this journey together!

Ayaka was amazing! She was so kind, friendly and welcoming. My son doesn’t usually feel comfortable around strangers but loved Aya. She took us everywhere we wanted and adjusted as we needed with my son. Aya was very knowledgeable about culture and random facts - I can’t rate her high enough, she truly made our experience fantastic and memorable as a family.
