Reviews

Great Day!

We had a wonderful day with Yoshi. He picked us up at hotel, navigated the super busy Shinjuku station with ease. Loved the temples, had the most amazing tempura lunch, the best we have ever had! He was so interesting, very knowledgeable about the temples. Highly recommend!

Nice day with Yoshi-san in Tokio

As agreed Yoshi-san picked us up at International Cruise Terminal in Tokio and combined modern Tokio with traditional elements. We visited the Imperial Gardens (East), Meiji Shrine, busy Shibuya and Tokio Tower incl. lunch. He provided us with details about the Gardens, their history and also how to show respect at Meiji shrine. It was a real enjoyable walk in Tokio and we can fully recommend Yoshi-san as he is a very nice and experienced guide.

Thank you Gerhard, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed my tour covering traditional and modern spots in Tokyo. What did you think about a cityscape scenery from Tokyo Tower and followed by dinner with your old friend? I'm sure that would have been a wonderful experience. Yoshi

Great Overview of Top Tokyo Sights

Yoshi, did a very nice job of a full day tour of some of the major sites of Tokyo. It was very easy to get around with the Tokyo Metro subway. Lunch at a local sushi restaurant was outstanding. Also, at the end of the day, Yoshi came with us to take my wife to a store she wanted to go to, which was above and beyond the call of the tour. He is a real gentleman and helps bring Japanese culture to life during the tour.

Hi Ian, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed my tour and the sushi roll lunch. Afterwards, you soaked in the hot springs in Hakone, and I wonder if you're in Kyoto or Osaka now? Thank you for your warm and encouraging message. Yoshi
