A little maniac guide to Tokyo

Khaaw

I guided a Hong Kong-Canadian family from Poland to Asakusa, Akihabara, Harajuku Takeshita Street, and Shinjuku Golden Gai. Since they have gotten used to Tokyo a little bit, they requested places that are a little more maniacal, such as maid cafes and figure shops, which are difficult for foreigners to go to alone. An inspection in advance was a little tough, but it seems that the whole family was excited and enjoyed it. Continue reading A little maniac guide to Tokyo

I operated a guide tour, “Special tour to enjoy the autumn leaves of Koishikawa Korakuen in a hybrid guide of English and Japanese”, which was announced on my FB business account. It was a simulated guide tour that I got three friends to join, but when I actually tried it, I could see various improvements. This time it was a guide for three Japanese guests but guided with English and Japanese. During the English explanation, foreigners passing by also listened to my explanation, which was a fruitful experience. From now on, I would like to plan a hanami tour guide … Continue reading English and Japanesehybrid guide of autumn leaves of Koishikawa Korakuen

I joined to a member of Tokyo Volunteer Guides, Machinaka community tourist information, in Asakusa area yesterday.
