“Tokyo Walking Tour”
I've been blessed to have guided walking tours in many places around the world with some great tour guides and Yoshi is one of the best! He is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, enjoys the conversation along the way and genuinely an interesting and nice gentleman. He walked me all over, showed me how to navigate the Tokyo subway system (which wasn't so complicated once he explained everything!) and we put about as many miles on my aching feet as I could imagine in a 7 hour tour...he walked circles around me and could have gone longer! I enjoyed his well prepared historical background, personal pictures and personal experiences. He guided me through the Outer Fish Market and directed me to the best Wagyu Beef and best Sushi in the market! When I come back to Japan next time, I fully intend to engage Yoshi for not only more of Tokyo, but also surrounding areas where he has experience. I can confidently and highly recommend Yoshi, you will have a great experience with him!

“Wonderful Guide”
I booked Yoshi for day one of our Japan adventure. The idea being we knew nothing about the transportation or the culture & felt spending the day with him would secure our bearings. Perfect choice. Yoshi speaks wonderful english, is incredibly knowledgeable, provides an awesome first day experience (a wonderful person as well). Bring your best walking shoes. Your feet will thank you. Thanks Yoshi!
