“A Wonderful Way to Gain a Tokyo Overview”
Yuji is a delight! My college age daughter and I spent our 2nd day in Japan with him where he gave us an overview of Tokyo and many of the major sites. I highly recommend scheduling Yuji for your first or second day in Tokyo. In addition to sightseeing, he explained how to use the train system, how to read the signage on the train monitors, and provided insight on what to expect in Tokyo (and some for Kyoto which was our next stop). It really made the rest of our trip easier! Yuji has a delightful and fun personality. He is a working artist and art instructor as well. He attended college in the U.S., so his English is quite good. We appreciated that he wasn't rigid; when we asked for a change in the itinerary so we could make a shopping run, he weaved it right in. I twisted my knee a tad during our day together, but not bad enough that I wanted to stop the tour. He was mindful of my needs and found a drugstore where I could find some medication, and he looked for moving walkways to help reduce my step count. Thank you Yuji for giving us a great orientation to Tokyo and for your kindness. Arigato!

“A nice day with a nice Guide in Tokyo”
It was a wonderful day with Yuji. He is a fantastic guide with excellent English and a wealth of knowledge about Tokyo, the Japanese people, and their culture. He accommodated our requests and took plenty of time to answer any questions. He took lots of photos of us, so we'll have a great souvenir. The tour in the park with a short tea ceremony was just as interesting as the business district and the Asakusa Shrine. We had lunch. There was ramen. It was so delicious. And of course, a delicious dessert was a must. We highly recommend the tour with Yuji.

“Tour to Remeber!”
First of all I want to thank Yuji for such a wonderful and informative tour! He picked us up from the hotel and drove us to go sightseeing around Yokohama. He’s very accommodating and asked us if there’s anything we wanted to visit. Not included in the itinerary is a visit to the Ramen museum and Pokemon center that he agreed to take us. In addition he’s very knowledgeable to the local customs and food scene as we took strolls tasting delicious street food! My siblings and I were amazed that we were able to do so much in one day.
