My name is Ted Maruyama, and I am a licensed English-speaking tour guide. I am passionate about sharing Japan's history, culture, traditions, and everyday life with visitors from around the world.
Whether you are interested in famous landmarks such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Kamakura, and Mt. Fuji, or would like to explore hidden local gems, I can help you enjoy a memorable and authentic experience by providing convenient private car (or rental car) transportation wherever you would like to visit if you desire.
My tours are designed to be informative, flexible, and enjoyable. I can provide historical insights, cultural explanations, local recommendations, and assistance with transportation, dining, and sightseeing throughout your journey.
If you would like to discover Japan beyond the guidebooks and experience the country through a local perspective, I would be delighted to be your guide.
I look forward to meeting you and helping make your trip to Japan unforgettable!
