About Tour Guide Stephen Y.

Hello! I'm Stephen. Originally from London, I’ve had the privilege of calling Tokyo my home for the past 20 odd years. Japan is a beautiful country, and my first visit here left me deeply touched by the kindness of numerous strangers. Whether this is your first visit or you're returning to explore more, I hope our encounter will be memorable and will add to your experience of this wonderful country.


Tokyo is a jazz lover’s paradise and is truly blessed with a large number of good joints, from intimate underground spots to historic venues. As a jazz fan, I love exploring the city's unique jazz kissas (cafes) and live jazz clubs, discovering hidden gems beyond the big name establishments.


As a father of two young children, I understand the joys and challenges of family outings. Our weekends are filled with visits to parks, museums, and events around Greater Tokyo. Parents will know that these days out are more than just fun — they're opportunities for learning and making lasting memories. I'd be delighted to show you and your family some of the best kid-friendly places and fun events around the city.


Having lived in Tokyo for so long, I've become well-acquainted with its diverse neighborhoods and the expat communities spread across the city. Whether you're interested in exploring the Tokyo jazz scene, a family-friendly day out, or a leisurely stroll through Tokyo's popular expat areas ahead of a potential move, I can offer personalized tours tailored to your interests. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests!

Thanks William, it was a pleasure to show you and your family some of my favorite jazz joints.

Jazz night tour

Had an amazing time! Got to experience some really cool little jazz clubs and had the best ramen with Stephen. Very knowledgeable guide with flawless English. This is a must-try tour for those looking for something eclectic and off the beaten path.
