“Great experience”

We booked our half-day tour four months in advance, and communication was prompt and seamless right up until the day we met. When a typhoon hit during our trip, Hiroshi proactively reached out to adjust our schedule, moving our tour to the following day which turned out to be completely clear and sunny! On the day of the tour, Hiroshi was already waiting down in our hotel lobby early, proving how punctual and reliable he is. He speaks excellent English is incredibly knowledgeable + was simply lovely to be around. He was a massive help translating with local vendors at the fish market, offered to take photos for us and shared so many practical transit tips that we felt totally confident navigating Tokyo on our own for the rest of our trip. Since we are a younger couple and moved through our itinerary quickly, he even offered to take us to a few extra temples and shrines, which we loved. He was incredibly generous, patient & humble throughout the entire tour. We couldn't recommend Hiroshi as a tour guide enough!

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for taking your time to write a review. I had a wonderful time with you both. Our tour was scheduled for a typhoon day, but by rescheduling it for the next day, we were able to enjoy the tour under a clear blue sky! At Meiji Shrine, we saw a bride and groom in traditional Japanese wedding kimonos. At Tsukiji-Honganji Temple, we witnessed a solemn Buddhist ceremony, and I hope you enjoyed the fresh fish at Tsukiji Market. I am happy the information I shared was helpful for your tour. There are still many more things to see in and around Tokyo. Let's enjoy Japanese culture, customs, and beautiful scenery together again sometime!

“Third time with Hiroshi”

Hiroshi is a kind, patient guide, who took great care of us. We appreciate everything he did for us, and can highly recommend him to anyone wanting to see Tokyo and surrounding areas!

Hiroshi S.

It was a rainy day for the tour, but we were able to experience Japanese culture at the Tokyo National Museum and enjoy shopping at Solamachi shopping mall. Although the indoor facilities were crowded due to the rain, I hope you enjoyed the tour. There are still many more sights to see in Tokyo. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Next time, under a blue sky!

“Another wonderful day with Hiroshi”

Hiroshi took us to Kawagoe yesterday. We had a great day out. The town is beautiful, and Hiroshi was so kind and patient as we shopped and wandered through the old town.

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for accepting my suggestion to change the Tokyo tour to a Kawagoe tour due to the weather. We were able to enjoy Kawagoe tour without rain. We walked through the streets lined with traditional warehouses and felt the atmosphere of the Edo period. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the old town and the shopping in Kawagoe. There are many other sights to see in the Tokyo area besides Kawagoe. Let's enjoy Japanese culture and history together again!

Hello, my name is Yumiko, and I am a licensed tour guide based in Japan. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of Japan with travelers from all over the world. I have guided many visitors through Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and other famous destinations, as well as hidden gems that only locals know. My goal is always to create a tour that is not only informative but also enjoyable and personalized to your interests. With a warm and flexible guiding style, I love helping guests discover Japan’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether you are interested in temples and shrines, delicious local food, or simply strolling through charming streets, I will do my best to make your time in Japan unforgettable. I am excited to announce that I have started offering tours in Odawara! Odawara is a historic castle town located just an hour from Tokyo, famous for its impressive Odawara Castle, beautiful views of both the sea and mountains, and its role as the gateway to Hakone. In addition to exploring the castle and tasting local specialties such as fresh seafood and kamaboko (fish cakes), you can also enjoy many Instagram-worthy spots, from the scenic coastline to charming traditional houses that give a glimpse of Japan’s past. Odawara is still less crowded compared to other popular destinations, so it’s a great time to visit. I look forward to welcoming you and creating wonderful memories together!

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa.
