“Like being guided by your best friend in Japan ”
We ended our day with a hug from Yugi and that tells you all you need to know. Yugi was the perfect guide for our first experience in Tokyo. We spent the whole day together. He met us at our hotel and helped us buy Pasamo cards and off we went for our adventure. Yugi was very patient with us, matching our pace and adjusting to our requests as the day went on. He's a really cool and interesting guy. The kind of guy you'd want to hang out with in a bar and listen to his stories over a beer. Any guide can show you the Tokyo highlights but very few can leave you with a feeling that you really connected with the location and culture.

“Great evening ride through Tokyo!”
Yuji is a really fun guide! We drove through the city to Tokyo Bay, which is beautiful at night, and took a walk through the nightlife in Kabukichu. Communication before we met was breezy and Yuji-san is one interesting cat, We had a great evening. Highly recommend!

“Unique and very customize for our desires”
Yugi san was our guide for 2 days in Tokyo, a trip promised to my son and finally fulfilled. Why some was a big fan of history.But also had friends who had done some unique things.In japan and Yugi was able to accommodate exactly what we wanted including a side trip to see the huge Gundam statue and taking us to the muscle girl bar, which was a major hoot! ︎ his choices of eateries likewise fit into our desires for the trip. He was always on time, courteous, fun to be with, and knowledgeable. He made travel in the subway systems easy and even helped us get our shinkansen tickets to our next destination. I would absolutely recommend him.
Yuji H.
Thank you for your review, Ole san. I thoroughly enjoyed guiding you around Tokyo. During the tour, I could see your son's strong interest in Japanese history, and I was very impressed by the close relationship between you and your son. Please enjoy the rest of your trip to Japan.
