Hi Shiki, thank you very much for joining my tour, especially after the exhausting experience of a delayed flight. It was a shame that time constraints prevented us from visiting the Japanese garden. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip to Japan.

“A great day exploring Tokyo with Yoshi-san”
My wife and I had a wonderful day exploring Tokyo with Yoshi. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from the start. We enjoyed seeing the different sides of the city, from the temples and shrines to the busy streets of Harajuku and Shibuya. Having Yoshi guide us made getting around easy and helped us appreciate what we were seeing. A great way to experience Tokyo, especially on a first visit. Thank you, Yoshi!

Hi Adam, thank you for your kind message. I am glad to hear you enjoyed my tour. How was your dinner in Shibuya? I hope you enjoy the rest of your tour. See you again!

“Wonderfully efficient in a sea of business”
Yoshi was truly such a godsend for our day trip to Fuji. He expertly tailored the day’s itinerary, and was knowledgeable about customs and history. He gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy ourselves while still keeping a tight and efficient schedule. Even when that schedule was delayed due to traffic and increased crowds, Yoshi did his absolute best to get us back on schedule without making us feel rushed. Would recommend to anyone who needs help planning a tour or guided visit!
Yoshi S.
Hi Benjamin, thank you for your prompt review. I appreciate the positive feedback to my tour, despite the significant delay of the return bus. That was the first time I had ever experienced a delay like that. However, I am glad the weather was nice and you were able to get a beautiful view of Mount Fuji. Please enjoy the rest of your trip!
