“An Unforgettable Experience with Yasuro-San – The Best Guide in Tokyo!”
Our day in Tokyo with Yasuro-San was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in expert hands. Yasuro-San was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but he was also one of the kindest, most pleasant people we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. As we prepared to travel from Tokyo to Katsurra for the next leg of our journey, Yasuro San didn’t just give us advice—he personally purchased our train tickets, guided us through Tokyo Station, and made sure we knew exactly what to do the next day. His thoughtfulness and attention to detail completely exceeded our expectations. I can’t say enough about his professionalism, warmth, and dedication. Thanks to him, our day in Tokyo was seamless, enriching, and truly special. If you have the opportunity to tour with Yasuro San—take it! It will be one of the highlights of your trip.

“Lovely intro to Tokyo ”
We spent several hours covering lots of ground with our guide and enjoyed it all. Navigating the many subway stations and routes was simple with him. We saw loads of places and enjoyed it thoroughly. He has a good command of English and explained things well. He has a good sense of humour and showed much respect to the day, the temples us and all whom we interacted with. He was patient and always obliging. Thanks.

“Awesome beginning to our first trip to Tokyo Japan. ”
Yasuro was awesome he met us at the airport he was on time. Communicated with us consistently and then helped us navigate the train system, how to get a suica card. Helped to get some yen cash out and get us off to a great start. He helped us find our hotel which was not easy to find but he was very persistent.
