“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.

“Great local guide ”
Yuji was great. He offered us insights into where the locals visit and shop. He took us to get some fresh sushi at the markets where he gets his fish. It was excellent. And the best part was he took a lot of pictures and sent them to us at the end of the day.

Thank you for your sweet review. I know what I missed at Ueno. I hope you had a great time with the art teacher. I’m hoping two of you spend a wonderful time in Japan for 25th wedding anniversary!! Congrats, once again !!!

“Best way to start your Tokyo visit”
Yogi picked me up at my hotel and then proceeded to show me some of the highlights of Tokyo. We used public transport which made me confident to get around by myself. Yugi took many photo of me having a great time which, as a solo traveller, I really appreciated. We saw great places and ate lots of good food. The tour was conducted at a pace that suited me. I would really recommend Yugi’s tour.
