About Tour Guide Yoshi S.

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy.

I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Tokyo Walking Tour

I've been blessed to have guided walking tours in many places around the world with some great tour guides and Yoshi is one of the best! He is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, enjoys the conversation along the way and genuinely an interesting and nice gentleman. He walked me all over, showed me how to navigate the Tokyo subway system (which wasn't so complicated once he explained everything!) and we put about as many miles on my aching feet as I could imagine in a 7 hour tour...he walked circles around me and could have gone longer! I enjoyed his well prepared historical background, personal pictures and personal experiences. He guided me through the Outer Fish Market and directed me to the best Wagyu Beef and best Sushi in the market! When I come back to Japan next time, I fully intend to engage Yoshi for not only more of Tokyo, but also surrounding areas where he has experience. I can confidently and highly recommend Yoshi, you will have a great experience with him!

Thank you so much Ken, for your wonderful message; it serves as great encouragement for me to continue my work as a guide. I also truly appreciated you walking such a long distance with me. It was a pleasure for me as well, seeing how enthusiastically you listened to my explanations. Please get in touch if you have the chance to visit Japan again with your family.I hope your family would enjoy souvenirs you bought in Asakusa. I look forward to seeing you. Yoshi

Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for your kind words of praise. I also enjoyed being with you and your family. Your comments are a great encouragement to me as I continue to work as a guide. Yoshi

Wonderful Guide

I booked Yoshi for day one of our Japan adventure. The idea being we knew nothing about the transportation or the culture & felt spending the day with him would secure our bearings. Perfect choice. Yoshi speaks wonderful english, is incredibly knowledgeable, provides an awesome first day experience (a wonderful person as well). Bring your best walking shoes. Your feet will thank you. Thanks Yoshi!
