“Great fun exploring Akihabara and Nagano”
We had great fun in Akihabara and Nagano with Yuji. His English is excellent and he has a detailed knowledge of Japanese illustration, having worked as a creator in that industry. Yuji helped us navigate our way around the countless shops in Akihabara, helping us locate particular figures from older anime that my daughter and I were interested in. We also saw the ‘older’ side of Electric City. After that we went to Nagano where we browsed the book stores in Nagano Broadway.

Thank you for your review, Ralph san. I was so impressed about you & your daughter‘s knowledge about Japanese animation & characters. Please, come back Tokyo again because I know both of you need more time in Akihabara for sure.

“Beautiful night tour of Tokyo”
Yuji H was absolutely fabulous. He was early to pick us up which gave us more time to see Tokyo by night. He picked the perfect places to take us, with no crowds.
Yuji H.
Thank you for your review, Monica san !!! Actually it is crowded with tourists during the day, but at night there are fewer people and you can spend your time relaxing while enjoying the beautiful lighting, so I recommend going out at night. Please, give those information to your friends who have a plan to come here ! Regards, Yuji H

“Half a day in Tokyo”
Yuji H. was absolutely amazing! Accommodating, knowledgeable, funny and the best tour guide ever is how we would describe Yuji. He went above and beyond by escorting us to the airport after our tour was over. We can't recommend and praise him enough! We can't wait to see you again, Yuji
Yuji H.

Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
