Hi, I am Shinya, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I was born in Tokyo and brought up there. I have lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years. Since I am a Tokyoite, I am able to give you precious information about places which are not written on ordinary guide books. I would like to support you to make your trip in Japan much more fun and wonderful! I want to make you smile, surprise and happy throurgh the tour!
One of my favorite things to do is to see architecuture designed by famous architecs, such as Kuma Kengo, and Ando Tadao. I also like to see art works, such as paintings, Ukiyoe woodblock prints, and tea bowls, and something like that.
Lastly, I love tennis very much. I have been playing tennis for more than 40 years! I also love to watch tennis game! I have visited Melbourne in Australia to see the Australinan Open Tennis in 2020 just before Corona Pandemic. I visited New York to see the U.S. Open Tennis last summer in 2023.
Let's enjoy exploring Japan!
I look forward to seeing you in Japan!

We had the pleasure of having Shinya as our guide for the Mt. Fuji, Hakone, and Lake Ashi one-day tour from Tokyo, and he truly made the experience unforgettable! Shinya’s knowledge and enthusiasm added so much fun to the trip, and he effortlessly guided us to all the must-see spots. One of the highlights was when Shinya asked if we liked cheesecake. When we said yes, he took us to a fantastic spot by Lake Ashi with the most delicious cheesecake and the best soft serve we've ever had. It was a delightful surprise and just one example of how Shinya goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. Even outside the tour, Shinya was incredibly helpful. When we asked him about local food, he recommended a spot in Tokyo Station. We ended up buying a lot of delicious food there, thanks to his great suggestion! If you’re looking for a guide who knows the area well and adds a personal touch to the experience, Shinya is your guy! Highly recommend him for your Mt. Fuji adventure. Paan Anukul

Our family of 5 (3 kids aged 12, 15 and 17) adored our 2.5 days with Shinya. He was highly knowledgeable, kind, patient, easy to get along with and a pleasure to learn from. We could not recommend him more and plan to let our friends back home know that he is an ideal guide if ever in Tokyo!
Candace, Thank you so much for your review. I could not be more pleased with this excellent review. It was very good for me to know you and your family. I look forward to seeing you and your family again in Japan or in the U.S.A.!
Our tour with Shinya was great from start to finish. He made superb choices in what buildings to show us. I addition to famous landmarks, he covered some of his personal favorites. He has a deep love for the city and knowledge about it that was reflected in the tour. It was an excellent introduction to the city. We also appreciated that he communicated with us frequently about the pace and asked for our input.
