“One day highlights of Tokyo . ”
We were met in our hotel lobby by Toshihiro for an eight hour tour of Tokyo by foot and public transport. This is our first time to Japan and we visited a lot of the top places to see in Tokyo, Toshihiro gave us lots of information on each place including the history and traditions . We had a wonderful lunch of sushi in a restaurant at the Fish Market , the freshest sushi that we’ve ever eaten . We used the Metro and trains a lot which gave us invaluable information for using them on our own the following day . I would highly recommend Toshihiro as a guide , he was very friendly and informative , this was a fantastic start to our holiday in Japan . Thank you Toshihiro.

Thank you for the outstanding tour review, Julie-san. Unfortunately it was rainy on the day of the tour. But you were very cooperative. We could visit all of the top places to see in Tokyo as planned. When I explained the history and traditions on each place, you listened to me carefully and asked me some questions. I felt that my job was worthwhile. Thank you again. I am also glad to hear that the sushi we ate at the Fish Market was the freshest sushi that you’ve ever eaten. I am relieved as you could do your own tour by using local public transportation on the following day. I think that you are already an authority on Japanese tourism. Please enjoy the rest of the days!

“Great day in Tokyo with Toshihiro ”
This was our first visit to Japan and we only had a short time in Tokyo so we made the decision to book a guide to show us the main sights. I am so glad we chose Toshihiro. He responded quickly to my questions before the tour and everything went to plan on the day. We covered a lot of the main tourist areas on foot and by metro. It really was a full day but we couldn't possibly have done it on our own. Toshihiro was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot during our tour. Also after becoming familiar with the metro system we felt much more confident using it the next day on our own. It was a great tour and we will remember it for many years to come. I would highly recommend Toshihiro especially if you are a first time visitor to Tokyo.

Thank you for the fantastic tour review, Lisa-san. You have already travelled various countries in the world including some Asian nations. It was my honor that I could guide the experienced tourists like you especially who came to Japan first time. I enjoyed walking a lot of the main tourist areas with you. Conversation with you facilitates my understanding of international situation of tourism. It was really helpful. You surveyed touristic spots in Tokyo well and understood Japanese culture and history. I am glad as you gave me such an excellent tour review. I am sure that you experienced amazing traditional events in Tokyo on the next day of my tour. I know you will visit other cities in Japan by a cruise ship. Bon voyage!

“If there is one thing that you must do in Tokyo is book Toshihiro for your guide.”
The first thing you must do when visiting Tokyo is book Toshihiro to be your guide. We had a fantastic day out with Toshihiro, he escorted us to all the sites we want to see and also modified his tour to accommodate our requests. His knowledge of all the palaces we visited was exceptional. I don’t think we could have seen so much without his expertise. He knew all the spots for photos of all the main attractions, most of them we would not have found without him. Thank you for a wonderful day it was a pleasure to meet you and an unforgettable day in Tokyo, all the best for the future, Anthony and Janet.

Thank you for the wonderful tour review with beautiful photos, Anthony-san and Janet-san. Itinerary was slightly modified by your requests. To tell the truth, I was not so familiar with a few sites we visited. But you were patient and cooperative. Thank you very much again. I am really relieved with your comments like that it was a fantastic day out with me. During the tour, I learned from you about the difference of the royal family between Japan and your country. I enjoyed conversation with you. It was a fruitful experience for me. I know you are now moving to the cruise ship to visit various cities in Japan. Please have a memorable journey.

Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special. Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level. I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan. Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country. I look forward to meeting you soon!
