Koyo Shibata

Hi, I’m Shibata, your trusted guide ready to make your Tokyo visit smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable!

Born and raised in Tokyo, I worked as a tour guide in Australia for two years after graduating from university. Since returning to Japan, I’ve continued supporting international visitors with airport transfers, translation, and cultural experiences — all while working as a company employee.

I’m also an active beach handball player based in Shizuoka. With energy, local knowledge, and a passion for travel, I’m excited to help you discover the real Tokyo!

Stress-Free Navigation

Your guide helps you smoothly navigate Tokyo’s complex public transportation system and unfamiliar streets—no need to worry about getting lost or confused.

Cultural Insights You Can’t Google

Beyond basic facts, our guides share real local knowledge, customs, etiquette, and hidden gems that only a native or long-term resident would know.

03

Seamless Communication

With fluent English skills, your guide bridges the language gap—whether ordering at restaurants, asking directions, or understanding signs, we’ve got you covered.

“It felt like traveling with a local friend.”

Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and thoughtful. He helped us find vegetarian meals, navigate shrines with respect, and even helped translate at a pharmacy when my daughter got sick. It was such a relief.
