Hi, I'm Manabu. Born and raised in Japan, with a love for sharing it.
I founded Tokyo Genki Tours to walk Tokyo with travelers the way I'd walk it with a friend. No scripts. No tourist traps. Just real stories from real locals.
"Genki" (元気) means energetic, lively, in good spirits. That's what every tour should feel like.
After studying in Australia and traveling through the Americas, I came home with a fresh appreciation for Tokyo. So I started building a small team of fellow Japanese locals who share it.
We currently walk Asakusa, with more neighborhoods on the way.
Let's walk together.
I was only one guest today. So speacial. We walked around together like 2 friends. She answered my many questions with a smile. At the end she showed me very precious historical place which is unique. Thank you .
Nozomi was an amazing guide! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and passionate throughout the entire tour. She explained so many interesting things and answered every single one of our questions with patience and a smile. Her enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned a lot and would highly recommend the tour with her. Thank you, Nozomi!
