About Tour Guide Ayaka K.

If you're looking for a local guide who'll help meet all your Tokyo dreams come true, you're looking at the right place! Tell me all the things you want to experience, eat, buy, etc. and I'll create a special itinerary just for you! Also, we'll be using public trains and busses, so you can experience how locals live their everyday life in Tokyo :)


I've lived abroad (Australia and Belgium) for half of my life, but after coming back to Japan I realized how beautiful my country was, and started my career as a local guide.


With me, you'll be able to visit restaurants and shops that only locals know, experience public transportation just like a local (trust me, they're super complicating...!), and discover new facts about Tokyo which aren't written in guide books!


Your wish can be super vague, such as; "I want to experience Pokemon related facilities" or "I want to eat Japanese food that's not usually seen in typical guide books"


Also, I don't want you to miss out any fun or waste time by getting in trouble. Here are some troubles I hear often when people visit Japan.

- A lot of Japanese people are super kind but often times they can't speak English at all

- The trains and busses are extremely confusing

- There are too many people in stations, shops, etc

- It's super easy to get lost

- Some shops need reservations but they don't make that clear

- The English menu is hard to understand

With me, you won't encounter any of these troubles, and be able to travel safely ;)


Let me make your Tokyo trip a super memorial day in your life!

Amazing Experience with Ayaka

My tour guide, Ayaka, provided an amazing experience, which exceeded my expectations. She planned the tour exactly based on my request and provided insightful context covering history, geography, culture, and recent developments. She is very knowledgable, professional, flexible, and provided an excellent service. She is a talented individual with the right skills and an asset to your company. Thank you Ayaka. I learned quite a bit and looking forward to the future encounters. Best/Fabian

Unforgettable day in Tokyo!

As a first time traveler Tokyo was so intimidating and scary but Ayaka made my first time so memorable! She was more like a friend than a pure business type. She was so knowledgeable and kind and I could see her passion for our similar interests. It was a perfect mix of traditional and modern culture exactly as advertised. I wish I could book her again for another maid cafe experience if she was free!!!
