Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I am married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.

Bonjour, je m’appelle Satoru. Je suis guide certifié par l’Etat. Lors de votre voyage au Japon, vous aurez certainement quelques inquiétudes quant au fait de devoir vous exprimer dans une langue si différente de la vôtre. Vous serez peut-être aussi un peu stressé à l'idée de ne pas réussir à faire tout ce que vous avez prévu pour votre voyage. C'est avec plaisir que je vous apporterai mon aide pour que vous puissiez passer les vacances de vos rêves. Je ferai de mon mieux pour que votre voyage soit à la fois amusant et intéressant. Qu'aimeriez-vous manger ? Qu'aimeriez-vous acheter ? Vous serez surpris par la quantité de choix à laquelle vous ferez face. Je vous guiderai parmi toutes ces bonnes et belles choses. A chaque étape de votre voyage, vous vous poserez des questions telles que "Pourquoi?" ou "Comment?". Je serai là pour y répondre toujours de façon simple et rigolote. Je suis conscient que votre temps au Japon est précieux et qu'il représente aussi un gros budget. Je ferai en sorte que votre voyage soit inoubliable en partageant avec vous ma passion pour la culture japonaise. A bientôt au Japon.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!

I am from Venezuela, with roots in the US and Sweden. I have lived in Tokyo now almost 10 years! I am a musician and very social by nature. Because I've been in Tokyo so long I know Japanese fluently, and I have had time to discover many places only locals would find. If you choose me I'm sure you will have a time you won't soon forget!

Hello! My name is Ken (Kenichi), and I’m a professional tour guide with experience guiding over 1,500 foreign tourists as of February 2025. I have worked for both Japanese and international companies in Tokyo for over 30 years, giving me deep insight into the city and its unique charm. I also love traveling and have explored many famous destinations in Japan as well as in 40+ countries worldwide. I fully understand the challenges that many first-time travelers face when visiting Japan, especially in a busy city like Tokyo. My goal is to provide you with a fully customized, time-efficient tour that meets your needs and preferences. Since most travelers have limited time and want to visit as many places as possible, I carefully plan tours that highlight the best spots and the most efficient routes, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. For added comfort and luxury, I offer the option of using a car with an experienced driver (my wife), making your tour even more convenient and stress-free. I look forward to guiding you and helping make your visit to Japan truly memorable.

“Wonderful Private Chartered Van”

Miya our driver for this private tour of Yokohama was wonderful. He arrived early at our accommodation and drove us around to visit all the attractions. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable. He was friendly and courteous and greeted us with enthusiasm each time he picked us up after we had finished at an attraction spot. Would highly recommend this company. Thank you Miya for driving us around to explore Yokohama.

“Wonderful customised Yokohama tour”

My family and I had a wonderful time on our customised tour with Kashima San. He prepared a detailed itinerary file on all the attractions we would be visiting, giving us some background information of each location. His sheet of frequently used Japanese words and the English translation was very helpful! We had a most pleasant time touring Yokohama. Thank you Kashima san for your preparation and showing us around Yokohama.

Kashima H.

Yok san, Thank you very much for your upmost review to me. We visited Yokohama city. Thanks to your strong curiosity about Japan, we could talk and change various information about every tour spots. We visited Sankei-en Garden where lots of historical buildings as important property were transferred here from Kyoto and Nara, China town as crowded and gorgeous area where you could see lots of unique buildings and tasted various Chinese foods. Ramen Museum where your sons enjoy their own cup-noodle making. Land mark tower sky garden to see 360angle overview of Yokohama and surroundings and red brick warehouse where we could taste nice sweets and drinks. I could enjoy very much and get more knowledge thanks to your questions and discussion. I hope that you visit Japan again in near future so that I can introduce other nice tour spots. Thanks, Kashima,
