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.
“A wonderful night tour of Tokyo!”
Yuji put together a great night tour of Tokyo. He was easy to communicate with both before and during the tour. He was on time to pick us up at the cruise terminal and returned us back at our ship. He showed us the Tokyo skyline from several vantage points, helped my wife with her shopping, and showed us an area of old bars set in very narrow streets. Overall, I highly recommend Yuji as a tour guide!

“Best first day first time in Japan ”
We had a fantastic day with Yuji in Tokyo. We felt like we discovered Tokyo with a friend. He guided us through the city and the train system with calm and laughter. We enjoyed amazing food like locals. While we took in some key attractions and covered some territory, Yuji managed to find quiet spots (and great coffee) for us to take 5. We felt so lucky to start our holiday in Japan with Yuji.

“A Fantastic Welcoming Tour of Tokyo”
Our tour with Yuji, was fantastic. he was extremely patient with our questions and gave us much needed info on the metro system. He was such a joy to spend time with that our tour ended without us even knowing. We would love to book him again given the chance.
