“Excellent tour of Temples, Shrines and Beautiful Kamakura!”

Yoshi was a wonderful tour guide for us to take in four temples and one shrine, and we even had time to shop along one of Kamakura's main shopping streets and enjoy a fabulous ramen and tempura lunch at a local eatery that Kamakura residents enjoy. His English is excellent and his historical knowledge is vast. He met us at our Yokohama hotel, helped us purchase train tickets, explained the background of each stop and answered all our questions. When I first contacted Yoshi (pre-booking), I asked him if he could include Engaku-ji Temple to his advertised Kamakura tour. Although it was a different train stop, he was happy to accommodate and was even so kind as to identify my grandmother's grave site at Engaku-ji Temple for us. He also took us to a local literary museum that had an exhibit of special interest to us. We are so happy to have had Yoshi's service for a full day, as we would never have been able to take in so much in one day! We highly recommend him and hope on our 2026 Japan visit that we are able to use his services again.

Hi Joyce, thank you for your kind message. I was so happy too to be with you in Kamakura and Yokohama. I hope you enjoyed your cruise around Japan on a large passenger liner. I'm relieved that your grandmother's grave at Engakuji Temple will be able to be preserved as it is. Regarding the issue of what to do with the materials currently stored in the museum, I hope that you will have a thorough discussion with your sister and come to a satisfactory solution. Best regards, Yoshi

“Fast-Paced, Fascinating Tokyo Tour with an Expert Guide”

We had an incredible private tour of Tokyo with our guide, Yoshi. From start to finish, he was fast, efficient, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Yoshi packed an impressive number of major sites into our day without it ever feeling rushed. His commentary was full of fascinating details that brought each location to life, offering cultural insights and historical context that we wouldn’t have gotten on our own. Thanks to Yoshi, we were able to see the best of Tokyo in a short amount of time while still feeling deeply connected to the places we visited. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful and well-organized introduction to the city!

“A professional guide with warm attitude”

When visiting a foreign country one needs a very professional guide. One that will give you the important historical and cultural information while walking around the sites. And Yoshi did exactly that but with a warm and friendly attitude. We enjoyed the trip very much.
