“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

Yoshie Y.

Rachael, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I am so glad that you arrived at your hotel safely. Your 3 and 8-year-old children are so sweet. I am so happy to have all of your beautiful family. Please enjoy the rest of your trip to Kyoto and Tokyo over the next few days. I look forward to seeing you again next time!
