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!!

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!

Hi there! I'm Junko, a government licensed tour guide and interpreter. I was born and bred in the Tokyo area. I can customize my tour or create a tour any way you like, so please send me a message if you are interested. I have spent a year as a graduate student in the US, and traveled in several countries. I've made friends with non-Japanese people throughout my life, and I have a pretty good knowledge of what they want to know. I love goofy jokes and having fun. I will do my best to make our clients' stay in Japan a wonderful one.

“Great day in Nikkō ”
Our drive was prompt, courteous and safe. I don’t think we could have seen as much as we did without him. He kept us informed of how long to spend at each site and suggested when we should leave. We even squeezed in an extra stop at the end. Arrived back in Tokyo almost exactly 10 hours after we left.
Fuji Limousine
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a smooth, enjoyable, and efficient day with our driver. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Japan!

“Great time. ”
I had a great experience with Jack. His English ability is exceptional. His knowledge is also exceptional. I was by myself and the tour was worth every penny. His tour was good way to get an understanding of Nikko so when o go back I can create my own adventure.
Jack M.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Derick. I had a good time with you, too. Thank you so much for finding me. Jack

Everything is easy arranged via the website. We were picked up at the station at the exact time and dropped off at the hotel. Very friendly driver, speaks good English as well.
VAN transportation
Thank you for your hard work on sightseeing from Tokyo. Today, I took on Himeji sightseeing and Kinosaki Onsen in Kansai, so I moved to Kansai by Shinkansen after the tour. I'm sorry I couldn't respond to your request. Please continue to enjoy your trip in Japan.
