About Tour Guide Yoshie Y.
Hi, I’m Yoshie. I am a tour guide belonging to the travel agent, and I am working as a freelance tour guide, too.
My hobby is traveling and I like to meet new people. Not only every part of Japan, I also traveled 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 want to show you the Japan that I know and love.

“Thank you Yoshie!”
I reached out to Yoshie to assist our family of 4 get from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station than onto Shin Osaka station. She was not advertising this service on her profile page but as I saw she were doing tours out of Narita I thought I would ask and she kindly accepted. Communication was prompt via email. It was raining, humid and Tokyo station was total kaos but Yoshie was cool, calm and collected. She was waiting at Narita, assisted us with a suitcase delivery service, got us to Tokyo station on Narita express and during this time gave us some tips and advice. She even gave our 2 sons some lovely gifts. There is no way in the world we would of done this ourselves in the time frame we had. Thank you very much Yoshie! If we get to experience Japan again I think we would happily take one of her tours. Best regards to you and your family Rachael, Troy, Hudson and Tully Perth, Western Australia

“Perfect day trip exploring hidden gems of Asakusa and Ueno”
Yoshie is amazing ! She guided me throughout the trip and helped me explore some local Japanese places that took me apart !! Def recommend her to anyone who’s planning to walk and explore Japan from its heart and culture. You’ll visit places that aren’t touristy and will blend into the culture of Japan. The craft beer shop she took me to will be closest to my heart for a very long time.

(4 reviews)Hi, Sujith. Thank you for writing very worm and kind review to me. Today I had the very high quality time. I am so happy to hear that you liked my tour! See you again at your second trip in Japan!
“Exploring Tsukiji Like a Local: Best Guide Ever!”
She’s an awesome guide! Honestly, I think going to Tsukiji alone would’ve been pretty lonely. But she made it feel like I was exploring with a friend, showing me all the best spots with such a fun vibe. There are a lot of similar shops, but she pointed out ones with a century of history and some hidden gems that weren’t even crowded. The sashimi place she recommended me was super delicious. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was—she had everything ready, from wet wipes to trash bags and even sweat wipes, so I could just enjoy the experience. Next time I’m in Japan, I definitely want her to show me around again.
