This is Yuji, Japanese creator, such as painting, illustration, cartoon, and designing for Japanese magazine & advertising. I graduated from college in the US long ago. I used to work for Japanese publishing company for travel and Information magazine. I take lots of foreign friends to many places around Tokyo as a guide. I can take you common famous places, but also I can guide you if you have a special request, such as art, anime, table tennis or something belongs to your interest. For mostly I guide you by using the common transportation. but I also use my car to take you around for a small member of group because my car is so small, mini cooper.

It was a pleasure to be guided by Yuji! He is such a friendly guy and has an interesting background, which made for great conversations between the various stops. He was always ready and willing to adjust the tour according to my preferences. I will definitely book with him again on my next visit. Thank you, Yuji!

“Amazing day covering so many sites and adapted the tour for our pace and interests”
Yuji was a great guide, so fun and personable. He helped us get acclimated to the trains and showed us so many parts of Tokyo in one day. Seeing Godzilla in shinjuku was one thing on our list. We also got to experience a variety of Japanese treats from fresh sashimi at Tsukiji to rice balls at Asakusa. It was a great first day in Tokyo and Yuji gave us lots of good suggestions for the rest of our trip too. We ventured back to Golden Gae a few days later to check it out at night. We would all highly recommend Yuji!!!

Thank you for your review. I’m hoping you enjoy your stay in Japan. I was kind of worried about your father a little bit because he seemed so tired. But I also could see he reminded his old days in Japan. Please, say hello to Kyle’s family for me !!
