I’ve lived in Tokyo for 4 years
I speak English, Japanese
I am Translator
I am a long-term Japanese language and culture scholar with 15+ years invested in the field. During my life I focused on Japan, learning the Japanese language, and learning about Japanese culture, history, philosophy, geography, and society, and I also tried a few traditional arts such as calligraphy, bookbinding, and origami. I enjoy learning about philosophy, sociology, biology, and physics, especially astrophysics. I like to travel and experience new cultures and new food. I am trying to stay up-to-date by watching news and documentaries. My hobbies include listening to music, playing guitar, composing music, creating videos, writing, watching films, and playing video games.

My reviews

Marek showed up punctually at the meeting point. He is friendly and has a wide knowledge of Japanese history and culture. He showed us places we would not have otherwise visited. We also had a fantastic lunch together. We highly recommend Marek.

Would highly recommend Marek He was exactly what we had hoped for in a tour guide. He was wonderful. We would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for some help to navigate their way around the city. Super knowledgeable about the history, and culture of Tokyo.
