I am Tour Guide
Hi! I’m Hiroko, your friendly local host in the amazing city of Tokyo. What I love most about Tokyo is its perfect blend of modern and traditional. One moment, you’re admiring centuries-old temples; the next, you’re walking through sleek, neon-lit streets. It’s clean, sophisticated, and endlessly fascinating—a city that never runs out of surprises. I’m passionate about uncovering the little details that make Tokyo so special. Whether it’s shopping in Harajuku, exploring hidden gems in Asakusa, or strolling through serene Japanese gardens, I know just the spots that offer something unique. From secret shopping corners to wonderful restaurants and bars, I’ll make sure your Tokyo experience is unforgettable. Let’s explore this incredible city together!
Hiroko was absolutely amazing, and the tour was a perfect way to start our time in Japan. She met us at our hotel, guided us through the busy metro station, pointed out key photo opportunities and showed us the popular spots. We really valued having her knowledge and expertise as we visited a shrine, it was very helpful to know the customs. She went the extra mile for us and bought us special gifts, took pictures and more. We bumped into other guides who told us she is the best guide in Tokyo, and I would agree! We had a wonderful morning with Hiroko, anyone who gets paired with her is very lucky indeed!

Hiroko took us to places we never would have gone to on our own or with regular tours, like deep into department stores. We loved seeing the special food and literary items.

We had the sweetest guide Hiroko. We were more interested in understanding how the trains work in Tokyo and orienting ourselves with the city so we booked the tour in day one of our holiday. Travelling with a 10 year old and 5 year old our tour was focussed on the Pokémon centre and animal cafes. Hiroko arranged a perfect day which blended education for the adults on the train network even helping us book our Shinkansen tickets to Kyoto and weaving in the Pokémon centre and Animal Cafes on Takeshita street! My eldest son has a nut allergy and Hiroko even sent me a script in Japanese that I can show to restaurants to help us ensure his food has no nuts! Absolutely recommend this customisable tour! Communication was perfect and Hiroko was a gem!
