Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful

Highly recommend a tour with Yoshi K. He purchased our tickets, met us at our hotel and took us to Studio Ghibli by train where he showed us around the museum. He was very helpful, had some good tips for our trip, and communicated well with us. Without Yoshi K we would not have been able to see Studio Ghibli.

It was my pleasure to show you the Miyazaki's world. I enjoyed the time with your lovely family.

Exceptional tour and guide!

Our family absolutely loved our Ghibli tour with Yoshi! The entire process was easy. Yoshi was so accommodating and advised us with many other aspects of our trip. Not only did he acquire our tickets for us, but we all felt that we got so much more out of the museum. We genuinely enjoyed his company- he is very funny!

Yoshi K.

Thank you for the review. I myself enjoyed the day with your lovely family, laughing all the time. Have a nice trip in Japan.

Yoshi K is Brilliant!

We were unavoidably delayed in being able to rendezvous with Yoshi but, when we met, he calmly sat down and sought what our interests and priorities were and what we would like to see. We only had a day and a half available for our Tokyo visit, but Yoshi managed to satisfy all our requirements. I can thoroughly recommend this patient, capable, kind and knowledgeable man. Thank you Yoshi, you made our short time in Tokyo memorable!

Yoshi K.

Thank you for the review. I enjoyed helping you and I am so glad that you are satisfied. Come again! Yoshi
