About
☆中文版在下面,请参考一下☆
Hello.
I was raised in several places, such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, and Nagoya.
After my professional sales experience for a business machinery company in Yokohama, I pursued an opportunity to teach in China.
I worked as a Japanese teacher to foreigners in Shanghai.
The longer I lived abroad, the more I came to appreciate the unique aspects of Japanese culture. So I started learning English and Chinese to become a bridge to help bring foreign visitors closer to Japanese culture.
I would be horored to be your guide as you tour our historically rich country. I am looking forward to traveling Japan with you. Thank you.
大家好。我叫Maru, 来自东京。在上海生活过七年半。在东华大学学了两年半汉语。2012年得到日语教师资格证后一边学习日本历史文化相关知识一边从事日语教师工作。2018年回到日本开始用英语当导游。2019年终于能开始用汉语当导游了!我想成为世界各个国家和日本友好关系的桥梁。我对历史,美食、名胜古迹都很感兴趣。如果能跟大家一起旅游,我很高兴。谢谢。

“ Tokyo shopping tour ”
She was very knowledgeable and helped me get good gifts for my son and friends. It was a nice time.
Thank you for your review, Patrick! I was glad to spend a wonderful time with you!
“ Very knowledgeable and friendly ”
I was interested in seeing local sites and exploring Kamakura's ancient history while hiking through the area, but I don't speak Japanese. Hiring a local tour guide was a must. I checked a lot of guide user profiles and felt Maru was a good match based on my interests. She was incredibly knowledgable and friendly. She arranged a tour to see exactly what I asked in the timetable I had available. Even better, she was able to make it easy to enjoy the day. The best part was her flexibility. She asked what I was interested in and made that happen. I am not someone who enjoys shopping. I've had so many tour guides in the past who will stop at a shop and just say, "Ok, I'll be back in a hour, go shopping now." Maru asked me if I wanted to go shopping or buy souvenirs. I said that wasn't my thing... read more
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, Steven! I always make it a point to create customized tour for my clients depending on their personality. I am really pleased you enjoyed your experience in Kamakura. We walked a lot visiting some temples and shrines, enjoyed Kamakura’s specialty, Shirasu Don for lunch. Thank you for the wonderful day! I’d be glad if I could guide you in Tokyo or other cities next time! Please have great business meetings in Tokyo! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. 🎈 Maru
“ 1/2 day customized tour ”
She was extremely personable and very knowledgeable on the areas we wanted to visit (including ease of getting around on the train/subway system). We felt like we’d known her for much longer than just having met that morning. She met us at the train station nearest Tokyo Disney and we took public transportation to see the main Olympic stadium, then to Meiji Jingu, and finally to Shibuya where we walked the “Scramble” and then off to a cat cafe and to the American chain restaurant “Outback Steakhouse”. Had a wonderful time and would definitely hire her again! Thanks Maru 😁
Thank you for the wonderful review for me, Dan! I felt exactly the same way when I saw you at the station. You and Camille had big smiles and I had a feeling I am going to enjoy very much spending half a day with you. We visited some places in the west side of Tokyo and I believe you understand how lively this part of Tokyo is like. I hope I will be able to guide you to the east part of Tokyo or other places next time. Thank you so much again!
“ Great day trip to Osaka with Maru ”
I reached out to Maru with a request for a day trip to Osaka from Tokyo. She put together a great itinerary and even got us back into Tokyo a little early. Maru has a warm personality and likes to have fun. She knows a lot about the history of Japan and historical locations. I highly recommend booking her for any of your guide/travel needs while in Japan.
Thank you so much for taking your time to give me a wonderful review, Brian! Your tour broke my record for a longest tour hour! We had a long travel yesterday and I enjoyed spending the day with you. Thank you for choosing me as your guide. Please enjoy the rest of your stay in Tokyo. I’d definitely go to the restaurant you work for soon! Maru
“ A fun day in Tokyo! ”
I just asked my daughters what they thought of the tour Ai tailored for their one day Tokyo tour, and they said “very, very, very, very good!” Ai did a great job of organising things we wanted to do, and that we wouldn’t have been able to organise ourselves prior. Her Command of the English language is excellent, and she was incredibly thoughtful and organised. A lovely person to spend the day with. Thanks Ai for making out Tokyo trip so memorable.
Dear Belinda, thank you very much for your comment! All of your family looked very gorgeous in Kimono and their manners during tea ceremony lesson were so beautiful! I was very happy to serve you as a guide. I won’t forget all of your smiles! I wish you all the best for your new job. Please take care and hope I can see you again! Ai
