Tokyo Tour Reviews
“An excellent guide with an excellent itinerary”
Yoshi was a very fun and very informative guide. He waited patiently whenever we had to stop for pictures and gave us a very detailed history of every location we visited. Our group felt very comfortable asking any questions we had throughout the tour. Even beforehand, I asked and gave details about my ideal tour and Yoshi was ready with a plan to discuss within hours. I appreciate all the hard work and thought that went into this tour! Thank you, Yoshi, for being a wonderful guide
