Japan Private Tour Guides

“A very full day with an excellent historian and storyteller”

Lee really knows his stuff and has a good time showing those lucky enough to have him as a guide around the Kanazawa area. His banter is easy, articulate, and very well informed. He was on time and helpful with other arrangements we were making along our trip which was above and beyond what one might expect. From the geisha village, to the Maeda shrine, a samurai home as well as that of a foot soldier, he made the stories of life in that era his passion and it comes through. We not only learned a lot about the area, but we laughed a lot as we learned. Try Lee out, you will not be disappointed.

“My First Trip to Sapporo and Otaru”

This was our first trip to Hokkaido as a couple. I had undergone colon surgery in April and was hospitalized for 17 days, so I was very worried about whether I would actually be able to travel to Hokkaido. However, Yumi's guidance was very enjoyable, and it was great to be able to go to places and restaurants that we would never have gone to on our own. Also, we were able to hear many stories about Hokkaido that only a local person could tell us, so it was a very intellectually satisfying trip.

“Unique and very customize for our desires”

Yugi san was our guide for 2 days in Tokyo, a trip promised to my son and finally fulfilled. Why some was a big fan of history.But also had friends who had done some unique things.In japan and Yugi was able to accommodate exactly what we wanted including a side trip to see the huge Gundam statue and taking us to the muscle girl bar, which was a major hoot! ︎ his choices of eateries likewise fit into our desires for the trip. He was always on time, courteous, fun to be with, and knowledgeable. He made travel in the subway systems easy and even helped us get our shinkansen tickets to our next destination. I would absolutely recommend him.
