“Amazing and included a twist of fate”
We are SO glad to have planned to meet up with Yuji on our first day in Tokyo. As well as sharing his immense wisdom with us, he helped to find an elusive 3-day subway pass that would have been impossible to find without his help, took a zillion pictures of our family, and kept my kids (ages 12-16) smiling, interested and happy. I so greatly appreciate his guidance and insight on our first day in Tokyo. To top it all off, in a twist of fate, we ran into him the next day on the subway. In a city the size of Tokyo this seems as likely as winning the lottery. Yuji thank you so much for all your kindness. I've fallen in love with Japan all over again.

“Absolutely amazing!”
Where do I start? Yuji is an amazing guide who put my family at ease right away! He helped us navigate the hectic subway system, took us to amazing sights, and gave us amazing insider advice on the do’s and don’t’s of Tokyo. The best part was that he took photos of my family as we explored Tokyo and gave us the most memorable time. He even went out of his way to get my wife a small gift for her birthday and stopped by a cafe for cake and to sing to her. Yuji is more than a guide he becomes part of your family by the end of the tour. It was hard to say goodbye when our time was up with him! Thanks for such an unforgettable time in Tokyo!

“What a great day!”
In his Mini Cooper, Yuji covered a lot of territory for us in just one day. He was informative,, and his English is well understandable. In fact he taught us some Japanese. The day passed quickly and he managed to find a superb lunch, catering to my food peculiarities. He was also very solicitous with and to my husband who has difficulty walking. Ha managed to tailor the tour to our needs and was flexible throughout. I would highly recommend him!
