We enjoyed our first day in Tokyo with Yoshi. He helped us learn to navigate the city, showed us some sites and educated us on proper etiquette at shrines and temples. Thank you Yoshi!

Hi Susan, thank you for your warm message, which is so motivating and encouraging to me. I really enjoyed being with you and your family. I hope you could experience a delicious steak dinner to celebrate your son's birthday.

“Nice Tokyo Tour”
Our tour was quite nice but not extraordinary. Our guide had trouble to understand our English although two of us studied in the States and graduated there. We traveled a lot by Subway and saw some of the most impressive places but we didn‘t get as much explanations as expected. Our Guide tried to answer our questions but dindn‘t explain by himself. Who wants to hear some background stories should choose another guide.

Hi Christian, Thank you for the review. But I deeply disappointed to see your review. I was afraid of low ability to listen to German-accented English. So I tried to do my best for guiding more than usual using same materials. It’s a first time to have such a low score from my guests. Have a nice stay in Japan. Yoshi

“Excellent, thank you”
Yoshi was a great guide and a pleasure to spend our first day in Tokyo with. He expertly took us to some areas of interest, gave good explanations when asked, carried interesting materials with him, and he is a very nice and pleasant person to spend time with. Thank you!

Hi Enrique, thank you for your warm message, which is so motivating and encouraging to me. I really enjoyed being with you and Maria yesterday. I hope you could experience a panoramic view of Tokyo from 200 meters height. Have a nice trip to Kanazawa! Yoshi
