Hello. Thank you for your interest in Japan. I am a tour guide living in central Tokyo area. My hobby is travel, taking photos, watching sports, etc. I have visited more than thirty countries on business or vacation. While I was in overseas countries, I encountered a lot of troubles. But many people at my travel destination kindly helped me and I could do what I wanted to do. To do something in return for their kindness, I became a tour guide.
As a guide, I have offered tours for more than hundreds of tourists all over the world. Each tourist has the different style of sightseeing. Through experience, I have got better skills to arrange the tour flexibly.
Your stay in Japan must be very important moment. I would like to show you unique aspects of Japan. It is possible to create a customized tour for you to meet your requests. Please tell me what kind of sightseeing you would like to enjoy. Feel free to contact me.

“Two days in Tokyo with Toshihiro is a great start!”
After spending the better part of two days with Toshihiro-san, I can definitely say that he knows his way around the city and is efficient with your time. We saw so much but left me wanting to see more! Given my short time frame, Toshihiro-san provided a great mix of Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, beautiful gardens, world famous attractions, and modern trends in Japan.And the food was amazing too! I highly recommend Toshihiro-san if you're coming to Tokyo.
Toshihiro Y.
Thank you for the excellent tour review, Craig-san. You are a very busy person. You had only two days for sightseeing in Japan. This was your first visit to Japan. But you are familiar with Japanese culture. You had challenging spirit to experience unique life style. I enjoyed walking with you. It was also important experience for me. You have great insight on society. I know that you are now back to your country. Next time, please come to Japan with your family at least two weeks for sightseeing. I recommend end of March or early April to see cherry blossoms.
