“Highly recommended tour and guide!”
This was a great tour with a perfect host. Yoshi is professional, friendly and efficient with all of the arrangements. We wouldn't have been able to see and understand the significance of all of the sites without him. Highly recommended!

“Fantastic Tokyo Tour with Yoshi – A Perfect Blend of Culture and Walking around”
We had an awesome day touring Tokyo with Yoshi! He really knows the city and made everything super easy and fun. We started at Tsukiji Outer Market, where he guided us through the busy streets and showed us the best local bites. Then we explored Asakusa—he shared cool stories about the temple and gave us time to wander and shop. We finished with Akihabara and Ginza, and he made sure we got to our lunch spot on time. Yoshi was super flexible, adjusted to our pace, and made the whole experience feel smooth and relaxed. Would totally recommend touring with him!
