About Samurai Guide Sho

Hi, I’m Sho, a former JR East train conductor with 23 years of railway experience, including 22 years working on Tokyo’s Chuo Line. Today, I run Samurai Guide Sho, offering small, personal tours beyond Tokyo’s typical tourist spots. From Mt. Takao and local neighborhoods to Japanese food, craft beer, and train journeys, I share the Tokyo I’ve come to know through years of working and living here. Every tour is personally guided by me, combining local stories, authentic experiences, and a unique railway perspective.
