Hello, I am Keiji! Though new to Viator, I have over 80 tours and 24 five-star ratings elsewhere. I completed the 1,000km Camino de Santiago in 2019, so I have plenty of stamina to guide you all day! Why is my tour unique? 1. A Spiritual Perspective (The "Invisible" Tokyo) Most guides only explain history. At Meiji Jingu and Senso-ji, I introduce you to the "invisible presence" and spiritual energy. You won't just see the shrine; you will feel it. 2. From Tradition to Nightlife A rare "Day-to-Night" experience. From the sacred energy of shrines, we dive into the neon chaos of Shinjuku's Kabukicho and Golden Gai. See the dramatic contrast of Tokyo. 3. Travel Like a Local Friend I treat you like a friend, not a client. I love discussing real Japanese culture, economy, and modern life while we walk. Let’s create an unforgettable day!
