My guiding area is only Tokyo. My tours are walking tours using public trains. *The maximum number of people I can guide is 4. Would you like to have a private guide who caters to all of your needs when you are in Japan? I'm a professional, private guide in Tokyo and am committed to offering my guests a stress-free, enjoyable and memorable trip in which you can feel as if you are guided by a local Japanese friend with personal warmth and without any language barrier.

In any case, I'd be more than happy to help you to make your trip even better. My name is Koichiro (my nickname is Koji!) and I've stayed in Southern California for 3 years and have graduated from an American college there.

“Thank you Yoshie!”

I reached out to Yoshie to assist our family of 4 get from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station than onto Shin Osaka station. She was not advertising this service on her profile page but as I saw she were doing tours out of Narita I thought I would ask and she kindly accepted. Communication was prompt via email. It was raining, humid and Tokyo station was total kaos but Yoshie was cool, calm and collected. She was waiting at Narita, assisted us with a suitcase delivery service, got us to Tokyo station on Narita express and during this time gave us some tips and advice. She even gave our 2 sons some lovely gifts. There is no way in the world we would of done this ourselves in the time frame we had. Thank you very much Yoshie! If we get to experience Japan again I think we would happily take one of her tours. Best regards to you and your family Rachael, Troy, Hudson and Tully Perth, Western Australia
