About Tour Guide Yoshie Y.
Hi, I’m Yoshie.
My hobby is traveling and I like to meet new people. Not only every part of Japan, I also traveled to many countries. Especially in Australia, I spent one year on a working holiday. I like to step into nature, and I also like to explore hidden gems in the town.
Japan has a long history of 2,000 years and has lived in a nature-oriented culture. As a local, I would like to share interesting Japanese culture with you. Join my tour, and let’s explore Japan's fascinating culture and beautiful sights together as a family!
I specialize in family-friendly tours, making sure that both parents and children have an enjoyable and memorable experience. As a mother, I know what kids love and enjoy in Japan. I want to show you and your family “Omotenashi”. This is Japanese hospitality. Be prepared for special little surprises for your children and yourselves. I’m looking forward to showing you the Japanese culture that I know and love.

“Full day with Yoshie”
Excellent Guide, had to solo Japan due to friend group backing out, she set up a whole day for me, took me all over Tokyo, answered every question(a lot) that I had. She Even went out of her way to recommend places for the rest of my trip. Extremely friendly and not awkward at all with someone who speaks barely any Japanese like myself when it came to misunderstandings. Taught me a bunch of history about popular sites like Meiji shrine as well as just local history about random shops, which was very interesting to learn about. Also, she tailored the whole day out for me based on the interests I told her about, and her attention to detail with that was very assuring. All in all, look forward to booking her again later this year! Excellent work and thanks!

Hi, Brady! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It truly means the world to me that you had a great time exploring Tokyo. I’m happy I could make your day feel fun, comfortable, and personalized just for you. Seeing you find something you truly love brought me so much joy. Knowing how much it meant to you made me genuinely happy as well. I'm delighted I could be there to share that moment with you! I'm looking forward to seeing you again later this year. There’s so much more to discover together!

“A truly special day with Yoshie”
Our family of four spent the day with Yoshie in Asakusa and Ueno. Yoshie was a brilliant guide - she is knowledgeable about the history of Tokyo, and made all of the experience really interesting for our kids as well. She was patient, adaptable, and made my kids feel really comfortable the whole day. The fire ceremony was a particular highlight. It’s a day we’ll all remember forever. Thanks Yoshie

Hi, Rebekah! Thank you so much for your wonderful words. I’m truly touched. Because of you and your lovely family, the “bad luck” I got from yesterday’s fortune telling has turned into the greatest blessing! The tour day with you and your family will remain one of the most beautiful memories of my life, and I will cherish it forever. Thank you again for sharing such a special time with me.

“A day in Tokyo”
We were able to see so much more than if we were on our own! Yoshie modified for what we were interested, very informational and friendly. From shrines to Cherry blossoms to shopping and animal cafe, it was a great time!
