Tour of Tokyo

Our family really enjoyed the walking tour Yoshi took us on of Tokyo. It was a very good introduction to so many Tokyo highlights. Definitely need good walking shoes. Yoshi was very nice and informative and we truly enjoyed the day.

Hi June, thank you so much for your kind message. I'm so happy to hear you could enjoy my tour. That is very motivating and encouraging. Look forawrd to seeing you again! Yoshi

A day to remember

My family had a wonderful day with Yoshi in Tokyo. It was our first full day in Tokyo and it was wonderful to be with Yoshi to experience some of Tokyo's history, people and culture. It was also very helpful to start to use the train system with an expert! Yoshi shared so much about Japan's religion and history and we were able to explore so many major attractions, and little hidden haunts. Thank you Yoshi for such a wonderful day. Mark, Angus and I enjoyed our time with you immensely and the day helped us for the rest of our trip. Best regards, Carinne

Hi Carinne, thank you for beeing with me on the day and sending me your warm message. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed my tour and it encourages me to continue guiding in the future. Best regards, Yoshi

A Guide makes all the difference

On our trip to Japan we used private guides for the first time. I highly recommend private guides. Yoshi was easy to communicate with in advance of our trip and his fees were reasonable. He was always punctual and easy to understand. While we could have spent time figuring out the subway and trains and buses, Yoshi made that process easy and we spent more time touring instead of looking at transportation schedules. We had Yoshi guide us in Hakone and Kamakura. He was very knowledgeable of each site that we visited and gave us time to enjoy the site before we moved on. Yoshi is a dynamo and he will get you where you want to go. I'm attaching some pictures of Yoshi in action that you can consider when deciding if he is the right guide for you. Thank you, Yoshi, for helping us have a wonderful trip to Japan.
