Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love. As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

Hello, welcome to my page! My name is Midori which means GREEN in Japanese. You can call me Midori or Green. I grew up and have lived all my life in Yamanashi Prefecture where Mt. Fuji is and it is only 2 hours bus riding from Tokyo. In my spare time, I hike and play badminton. I also like spending time with my two cats in my free time. I became a National Licensed Tour Guide in 2014, but I started working as a guide mainly in 2023. I worked for an English conversation school in Japan for 23 years and was teaching English and also helping Japanese students to become better English speakers. I realize that teaching and guiding are similar because the essential thing in both is that I could entertain people and I can respond to their requests. When I was in my 20s, I visited many countries. There I had locals or other tourists help me a lot, which made my time unforgettable. Therefore, as a guide, I would really like to assist your trip so that you can have a blast without inconvenience in Japan. In addition, in my tour, I would like to talk about not only how beautiful Mt.Fuji is but also how historical and attractive it is. If you are interested in my tour, please feel free to contact me. You can choose my fixed tour or if you wish, I can customize and make a perfect itinerary based on your requests. Let’s make an awesome trip together at the foot of Mt. Fuji! I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

I used to teach English at a high school and now provide guide service to English speaking people as a freelancer during weekends and holidays. I’m confident in fluency in English and have guided more than 70 tours last year in Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji region, and my local city Shizuoka (Shimizu). I can guide other places such as Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kanazawa, Takayama, and other places if guests want to.

Hi, I'm Ken, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Japan. I’ve been living in Yokohama, west of Tokyo, for more than 20 years. Since 2018 I have been enjoying guiding guests from all over the globe to various attractive places in Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Yokohama, Kamakura and so on. I can also bring you unique experiences such as sake tasting, car factory, beer brewery, fish markets as well as rural town visit in Tohoku (Northeast district in mainland Japan), where I was born, and you can meet local Japanese people in person. Please think I’m your friend in Japan. Tell me where you want to go, see, or experience. I will customize the itinerary to suit to your interests. My hobby is walking and jogging. I made 42K runs 9 times so far, but I take it easy recently:-) Having worked globally in food industry for 35 years, I love exploring Oishii (delicious) foods. I’ll try my best to make your visit a memorable one. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon!

Mt Fuji hiking tour
Mount Fuji
8 hours 30 min
We are going to hike from 1st station to 5th station on Yoshida trails. Climbing season over 5th of Mt Fuji is from July 1 ~ Sep10. However, you can hike from the first station to fifth station on Yoshida trails in most seasons. You see many plants along trails and see a few lakes if the weather is good. I recommend these people who come to Mt Fuji out of climbing season or who would like to experience not too hard climbing.

“Excellent service”
This was our second round of trips with Van transportation starting in Nara and finishing several days later in Tokyo. The office was easy to work with. They understood all the requests and subsequent changes and responses were done in a very timely manner. Miya, our driver, was with us for all segments except one. Both drivers hooked up with us via WhatApp and we used Google translate as needed. We were able to pay with a credit car for the Van transportation costs. The driver also accepted a credit card for toll and lodging costs. Both drivers (Miya and Morimoto?) were very courteous and excellent drivers, which is the most important. Our car was swapped out for a slightly larger one to accommodate the 4 adults and two car seats. We had only one snafu where one of the car seats was not appropriate for a two-year old. Morimoto drove to a store and purchased one which worked great. Situation resolved. Overall we highly recommend Van transportation. Their pricing was competitive to other services we explored. We will definitely contact Van transportation for our next trip. Thanks.
