& Representative
Hello, I am Shinya Endo. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
I have lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years. Since I am a Tokyoite, I can give you valuable information about interesting places which are not written in ordinary guide books, if you would like to visit. I would like to support you to make your trip in Japan much more fun and wonderful! I want to make you smile and feel surprised and happy throughout your trip!
The followings are some of my favorite things:
I like to read books, play sports, (tennis, skiing), go to art museums and see traditional Japanese art such as Kabuki and Woodblock Prints, Ukiyoe.
Let’s enjoy exploring Japan together.
I look forward to seeing you!
Hiroyuki Sampei
Auditor
My name is Hiroyuki Sampei, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
Before I became a guide, I worked for a Japanese medical device company. During those days, I lived and worked in Belgium, Italy, the USA and Brazil for a total of 18 years. I have also visited more than 40 countries on business and for pleasure. The people we met in those countries helped my family and me a lot.
Now it’s my turn to return their favor by helping international tourists to Japan. My commitment is to make your trip pleasant, memorable and meaningful.
I was born in Fukushima prefecture and grew up in Tokyo, Osaka and Yokohama. My home town is Yokohama. As well as being a guide, I am in charge of auditing the Tokyo Bay Area Authentic Guide Club based on my Certified Internal Auditor qualification.
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Tracy Tazuko Moritoki
Hello, I am Tazuko Moritoki, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
Please call me Tracy!
I lived abroad for 10 years including 9 years in the United States (California and Indiana) and one year in Saudi Arabia because of my husband’s work. From my experience living these places, I came to know that many people around the world were very much interested in traditional Japanese culture, history and natural beauty.
Since I was born, raised and have lived in Yokohama City next to Tokyo, I specialize in tours of Yokohama and Kamakura as well as areas in Tokyo.
I like to play golf, do yoga, visit temples and shrines and see Kabuki performances.
I look forward to seeing you soon.

Noriko Machida

& Calligraphy Master
Hello, I’m Noriko Machida, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
Please call me Nori.
I learned English in Oakland California for a year when I was a student. After my graduation, I worked for a travel agency in Tokyo for 4 years. As a tour escort, I visited the U.S., Australia, and Finland. All those experiences have been very precious to me. There were a lot of wonderful encounters through my job.
I live in Hanno, Saitama prefecture. Just an hour train rides from central Tokyo, Hanno is rich in nature with many hiking trails and camping sites.
I would like to introduce unique local areas as well as popular tourist sites.
Japanese traditional calligraphy is one of my specialties. I have learned it for more than 20 years. If you are interested in calligraphy practice, I’m willing to offer the experience tour for you!
Hoping to meet you in Japan 🙂
