“The best of the best”
Yuji is the best, hands down. Kindest, most accommodating and caring human with a great sense of humor and inspiring outlook on life. Yuji has so much experience in so many wonderful things that making conversation is easy with him- my trip was very different. We visited isolated places neither of us had been before and we experienced a lot of firsts together- and I simply wouldn’t have had it any other way. I could 100 percent count on Yuji and rely on him to keep us safe and always having fun. We met so many locals and because he is so charismatic we made so many friends! I know Yuji-san is forever my friend now and when I arrive in my new home in Japan next year Yuji-san is coming to my house warming party. He’s stylish and cool and has your best interest at heart and mind. I wouldn’t trade my experience with Yuji-san for anything. Thanks for everything Yuji-san!!

(9 reviews)Thank you for your review. The destination of this tour is a place where even Japanese people have only a 50% chance of landing. I'm glad we were able to land safely. I'm glad that you were able to interact with many local people. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a first-time experience with you, Hope san. I hope this tour will lead to your next path. I hope to see you again!
“Yuji made our trip!”
Hiring Yuji as our guide on the first day in Tokyo turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire trip. My two sons (in their 20's) and I wanted someone to help us get oriented, give us some insider knowledge, and set us up with tips to make the rest of our week smooth and enjoyable. From the moment we met him, it was clear that Yuji brought something special to the experience. His artistic eye, unique perspective, and great sense of humor made each moment memorable and engaging. He didn’t just show us the popular spots but added these fascinating, often overlooked details that gave us a whole new appreciation of Tokyo. His insights were thoughtful. And he had this incredible way of making each place come alive, telling stories and pointing out things we’d never have noticed on our own. On top of all of this, he made sure we to follow up with a professional portfolio of pictures he had take of us around the city and best ideas for food and activities for the rest of our stay. Thanks to Yuji, we felt like we had a real handle on the city, and the entire week was better because of it. If you’re looking for a guide who’s more than just a guide—someone who truly enhances your experience and makes it unforgettable—Yuji is your guy. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

(9 reviews)Thank you for your wonderful review !!! Even so long… |o|. I also had a lot of fun being your guide this time. Your sons are especially smart and wonderful. You must be very proud of them. I asked you when you were leaving Japan because I knew this trip was special for you three, so I wanted to take you out to see the night view of the Tokyo Bay Area by car. However, I couldn't make the time because I hadn't finished my cartoon work. But I hope I you have unforgettable memories over your trip in Japan !!
“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!
