I will do my best to make your trip be more impressive and memorable.

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!!

Kaori S.

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!

“well arranged service”

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.

Great pre-trip communication. Jack quickly customized our tour to give us the things we wanted to see. Excellent transportation… great driver… good conversationalist. Would love to have him as a guide again.

Hello Don, thank you for your comment. We spent the day as if we were friends, right? That's the way is the right thing to do, I suppose. I enjoyed the day being with you. Jack
