Hi there! I'm Yayoi, your local host in Tokyo. I'm always seeking new adventures in this vibrant city. From savoring delectable treats in local shopping streets to exploring traditional areas, I find joy in the diverse food experiences Tokyo has to offer. I love immersing myself in art and history. And when I want to reconnect with nature, I head to beautiful places like Abiko City. The abundant natural surroundings and the variety of fruit-picking experiences in Ibaraki make it a memorable retreat. I know the neighborhoods of Tokyo like the back of my hand. I can lead you to serene temples, sacred shrines, and hidden gems in old shopping streets, where you'll experience the heart of Tokyo from the perspective of a local. So, if you're looking for an authentic experience, I'm your go-to. Let's create unforgettable memories together in Tokyo!

She helped us understand/feel comfortable with the train and metro systems as well as had great suggestions for restaurants and shopping. We greatly enjoyed our time with her.

What an amazingl experience! Yayoi has all the wonderful characteristics you wish for in a tour guide. She is very patient and attentive mixed with lots of flexibility, including excellent English speaking skills. Yayoi put together a schedule of all the places I requested to see and more. As Yayoi is a local she provided a vast array of information on all the history and sights. It was beautiful visiting all the old towns and markets then merging into the maze of Tokyo's cities! Such a contrast! Also, I can't stress enough how I highly recommend booking this tour if this is your first time in Tokyo, especially in regards to navigating the Japanese Rail system. This tour was an exhilarating experience with an amazing tour guide! I felt very blessed to have Yayoi for my guide. 100% recommend this tour.
