Hi! My name is Hiroki. I’m a local guide based in Tokyo, offering personalized cultural and nature-based experiences across Japan🇯🇵

Though I was born outside of Japan, I’ve lived here since I was 10 years old. I’m a half Indian (From Kerala) and Japanese.
Growing up immersed in Japanese culture has given me a deep appreciation for its traditions, hospitality, and the quiet strength found in everyday life. My tours are not just about “seeing” Japan, but feeling it — connecting with people, history, and the beauty of difference. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, I’ll help you discover a Japan that resonates with your heart.

Let’s create unforgettable memories together. Feel free to reach out — I look forward to guiding you!

Hiroki was so great! He explained everything well and took the time to show us all the places locals go. He listened to what we wanted to do and executed amazingly! Cannot recommend him enough. Very friendly and very informed on Japanese culture.

We met Hiroki in Akihabara. Hiroki had so much wisdom about the culture. He took us to a few anime/ manga stores, a large building with all varieties of anime items, a technology building, and an arcade. Though at times we felt as though we were doing a tireless amount of walking and somewhat seemed to be just walking through buildings, we did see a lot! Hiroki was kind, and though he didn't get to know us deeply, he navigated around the interests of our group. We particularly liked the arcade, where we played awesome games that ranged from many puck air hockey, to racing games, to the large hilarious photo booth. At the end, Hiroki took us to a shrine where he shared some of his expertise about the difference between temples and shrines and the history/ religions of both. This was very interesting, and we wished we would have asked Hiroki to take us on a more historical/ cultural tour, as he might have been better suited for that. I would also say that stopping somewhere for a drink/ snack might have been nice (if there was a place with some of these items along the way).

Ambyr

Hiroki was a great guide. We can't rate him enough. He was friendly and very fun to be around. He showed us very interesting places that I never thought of going or knew about.

Jeanne Swart

Hiroki was very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us about different customs and took us on a fun trip

Hiroki is an absolute legend. He was able to teach me about history, culture and language and made it fun to boot. Very accommodating and passionate about ensuring that his guests have the best time.

Peter Kade

Hiroki was very informative and friendly. He showed me all sides of the city.

Kyle Boyarski

Wonderful experience! I wish there was more time because it flies by when you’re having fun. I finally got to accomplish my dream of riding a swan boat! It was really nice to have someone to talk with to enjoy the city together. Highly recommend this leader tour and Kichijoji!!

Natalie Rose

Hiroki-san is a very kind and enthousiast person. It was a breath of fresh air to see after so long. We had quite a lot in commun so conversation was very easy and fun ! Just watch out if you end up playing Mario Kart against in at the arcade machine..... He is very good ! I would easily hands down reccomend him ! Thank you again Hiroki-san!! 🙏

Dylan Dupere-Montero

It was very nice for me to get to know Hiroki during my tour at Tokyo’s Asakusa district. He was very knowledgeable with the area and he showed me the traditions of Buddhist temples including lighting incense sticks and the specific ritual for washing hands. After Senso-ji, he took me to a lesser known but a similarly important temple nearby and we had a nice lunch at a locally popular restaurant. I highly recommend Hiroki to anyone looking for arranging their TOMOGO tour.

Deniz Tolga Akcabay

Hiroki went over and beyond to make our tour (party of 5) enjoyable & personable. Definitely recommend him to be your tour guide!!! I wish I could give him a 10+ star rating.

Akolea Pauta
