The Best Day in Tokyo

Spending your first full day in Tokyo with Yoshi is a fabulous way to start your vacation on the right foot. Yoshi is not only a knowledgeable tour guide, he is so kind and really tries to connect with people in the group. We definitely saw him connect to our teenage daughter pointing things that would keep her interested. He suggested a good snack shops throughout the day - wagyu, mochi, street vendors for nuts, ect. Highly recommend using Yoshi for any tours in and around Tokyo.

Excellent tour in Tokyo

Our Tokyo tour with Yoshi was everything that we expected and hoped for. Yoshi came to pick us up from our hotel and navigated us through the extensive metro system during the day. That was a good introduction to us as we were able to use the metro on our own the following few days. Yoshi took us to many important sites during our tour. He was very knowledgeable and even had written description of the history of each site we visited. We found the written descriptions very helpful as we both, my husband and I, are visual learners. As we visited several shrines, Yoshi introduced us to the local cultures by guiding us to act as locals. We really appreciated that. We were able to see a lot in 8 hours. The day was broken out by a lunch - the best sushi I have ever eaten. We had a great day and highly recommend Yoshi to anyone visiting Tokyo!
