About Tour Guide Yoshi K.
Hi! I'm Yoshi.
I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
Since I was born in Tokyo, near Asakusa, the famous tourist spot, and I now live in Yokohama, I am very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of Tokyo and Kanagawa area.
I used to live in California in the states, as a graduate student at UCLA and Stanford University, so I speak natural American English.
I used be a CEO of an internet company, dealing business with many foreign companies of the US, European countries and Asian countries. Therefore, I know your culture!
I can explain Japanese culture, by comparing them with yours.
Of course, I can guide you to the popular spots, like Asakusa, the Imperial palace, Meiji shrine, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. But also I can take you to some secret places, which nobody knows, like a hidden temple in a dungeon.
Interested?
Please contact me.
See you soon!
Yoshi

“Our Day in Tokyo”
Yoshi ensured we visited places of interest to us and allowed us time to enjoy the sites. He imparted his diverse knowledge throughout the day which helped us immensely. We can definitely recommend this experience. It was the best day and we felt the most effect use of our time.

Thank you for your comment. I also enjoyed the day with you. I could learn many things about Australia and it's relationship with Japan.

“Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful”
Highly recommend a tour with Yoshi K. He purchased our tickets, met us at our hotel and took us to Studio Ghibli by train where he showed us around the museum. He was very helpful, had some good tips for our trip, and communicated well with us. Without Yoshi K we would not have been able to see Studio Ghibli.

It was my pleasure to show you the Miyazaki's world. I enjoyed the time with your lovely family.

“Exceptional tour and guide!”
Our family absolutely loved our Ghibli tour with Yoshi! The entire process was easy. Yoshi was so accommodating and advised us with many other aspects of our trip. Not only did he acquire our tickets for us, but we all felt that we got so much more out of the museum. We genuinely enjoyed his company- he is very funny!

Thank you for the review. I myself enjoyed the day with your lovely family, laughing all the time. Have a nice trip in Japan.

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’m 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!!

Hello, potential tourists! I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license. I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015. Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan. It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well. However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan, without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities. Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan ! Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now! Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ? Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city. See you in Yokohama, Japan!

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
