“Yoshi delivered showing us all highlights Tokyo has to offer!”
In only 2 days, Yoshi was able to show us most of the highlights that North, South, East, and West Tokyo offer. Because of the volume of sites to see and things to do, I think it would take you at least 1 year to see everything. We are glad we opted for a personal guide because if we had to navigate the subways, trains, boats, buses, and monorail, we would probably still be lost! Yoshi was very knowledgeable about Japanese history. We give him a 5-star rating and would recommend him to anyone. PS: Yoshi is an older gentleman, but I doubt most young people could keep up with him.

Hi myrna, thank you for your 5-star review. I was also so happy guiding you in Japan and grateful you walked a lot and steadily everyday. I hope you enjoyed your trans-Pacific cruise and Wendy's grandchildren like the souvenirs she bought. Yoshi

“Yoshi was the Best!”
We booked 3 days with Yoshi. We told him that we would like to see all the highlights of Tokyo, and he delivered. We are in our mid 60's and Yoshi was older, but I swear he would win the Men's Olympic 400-meter race. He was very knowledgeable about Tokyo, Japanese history, and the subway system. While doing the special areas of North, South, East, and West Tokyo, it was Kamakura that we were in love with. We took the subway, train and bus to get there, and the sites were magical. Yoshi introduced us to Tempura, Macha, Wasabi and best of all, Wagyu. He tried to get us to try sushi, but he was unsuccessful. He did, however, show us the samples in the fish and food markets. If we were to good back to Japan I would definitely try to book Yoshi again. He was wonderful. 5 stars!

Hi Myrna, tahnk you for your warm message. Looking forward to seeing you again! Yoshi
