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.

“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!

“Layover tour ”
I had such a great time with Yoshie!!! She was great at communicating the plan beforehand ensuring I was doing everything I wanted and leading up to the day to ensure I was prepared. She helped navigate the transit system (there was no way I would have been able to do that in the little time I had). Throughout the day she explained where we were going and other points of interest along the way. We took the transit to get to Shibuya crossing where we viewed it from the Starbucks and one other viewpoint. We visited the Hachiko statue which was a stop I asked for if time permitted. Then we went off to the Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine. This was such a beautiful spot to visit among the hustle and bustle of the city. Yoshie shared so much information and history while we walked through the grounds. She even came prepared with a handkerchief to use after the cleansing ritual. Our next stop wasn't on the plan but was worth it! Yoyogi Park where we saw the cherry blossoms in bloom, the Pine Tree of Imperial Troop Review and it was generally a nice park to visit on a day with wonderful weather. Again another relaxing and slow paced spot to visit. Then we were off to Takeshita Street! It was a busy busy busy tourist spot and it was still nice to walk through and grab souvenirs and see the interesting shops and the many different animal cafes. We ended the day with a nice lunch at Haneda airport. Thank you Yoshie for making my short visit so enjoyable and for the small gift!

Hi, Rowela! Thank you for writing a beautiful review for me! I was impressed by your kind words. On the way to the sightseeing places was 4 minutes and it was nice to talk with you. Life is full of joy, I realized that although the countries are different, the feeling of cherishing family is the same everywhere. And the tour day was a nice sunny day! The cherry blossom in Yoyogi was in full bloom. Thank you for sharing a beautiful moment with me.
