Hi there! I'm Mari, a Tokyo enthusiast. My passion for travel has led me to live in the US, Canada, and Australia, but my heart always brings me back to Tokyo. From the enchanting cherry blossoms to the captivating world of animation, there's no end to the wonders of this city. I'm a devout foodie, convinced that Japanese cuisine is the world's best, and I never tire of uncovering new delightful spots. Having roamed Tokyo's neighborhoods since childhood (and yes, that includes countless trips to Tokyo Disneyland in Chiba!), I'm eager to share its secrets with fellow adventurers like you. Dive into Tokyo's magic with me!
Her English was excellent, we told her what we were interested in and she took us to all the places we wanted to see.

Mari was so lovely and funny! We loved spending time with her. As a tour guide, she let us customise the tour to our liking, and took us places we never would have thought to go on our own! This is one of the best tours I’ve ever been on.

I really like Mari. Very enthusiastic, adapting and tentative to what I really want to experience -that is, a bit of culture, how ordinary down-to-earth people go about their lives earning a living, the flora and nature, unique local foods. Loved the little bits of cookies, nuts. and one of my main requests, sushi, howevetr, didn’t get to try ramen - I was so stuffed with the goodies Mari let me taste. It was hard walking up and down very high steps , but I love it. Hard on my hips, but good tiredness. Uvcould spend the whole day around that region taking in the foods , sthe old architecture of the old houses, shingles of the temples , and Mari knows I am so taken by the various shapes of the eaves troughs hangings. I was ready to buy them or, if I could without being arrested , cut off a good-size length! All in all very happy.. Thank you, Mari. Job well done. I would recommend you any time:,
