Join our virtual tour and find out Japanese secret cultural stories by local guides. Relax and uncover our unique culture from your home! Hi! I've been working as a tour guide in Japan for more than 5 years. I guided many different types of tours such as nightlife tours in Shinjuku and Shibuya, food tours in Ginza and Tsukiji, and cultural tours of Sumo, Zen, and anime! Through many experiences of tours, I acquired deep insights of Japanese history and culture . Because Japan is an island and never got colonized in the history, unique cultures were developed such as Samurai, Geisha, Ninja, and Sumo. However, it's often too deep to understand those cultural aspects for foreign tourists. We can talk about our cultural curiosities! I will be offering this experience with a group of friends who are also experienced tour guides and passionate about sharing the secret stories with you. ＊All times specified are in Japan Standard Time(GMT +9:00).
