About Tour Guide Yoshio M.

Hi! I’m Yoshi.

I’m a pure, but a little bit an international, Japanese, living in Yokohama for about half a century. In addition, I used to live in Malaysia for 2 years, U.S.A. for 8 years and Canada for 3 years. I had long been involved in the international trade of U.S., Canadian, Australian and European grains for 40 years, during which I visited more than 40 countries including most of East Asian and South East Asian countries and most of Western European countries.

Now I’m a national certified guide-interpreter, working here for the past couple of years.

Believe! There is much more vast range of tourist spots and attractions throughout the year in Japan, even in Tokyo and its neighboring area, than “Green Michelin” and “Lonely Planet” offer to the world. Oops! You will surely encounter a new electricity here and there, day and night!

It’s really great to be welcoming here those who;

- Like to visit famous historic and cultural sites, shrines and temples in Tokyo, Kamakura, Nikko and other local areas,

- Love to bask in the natural beauty of Hakone, Mount Fuji and their vicinity,

- Have a keen interest in time-honored, culture-rich local cities like Kanazawa, Takayama, Matsumoto, Nagano and unique rural areas like Shirakawa-go and so many others,

- Are fascinated in Japanese art and paintings, both traditional and contemporary, including “Ukiyo-e”, wood block printings,

- Are aggressive enough to stroll in the sky by a gondola over an active volcano and sulfurous gush! Oh dear!

- Are passionate enough to directly touch the atmosphere of live, sometimes violent, “Matsuri”, traditional festivals in downtown,

- Wish to experience Japanese traditional, elaborate craftwork, handed down for centuries,

- Are enthusiastic about Japanese various pop culture and unique attractions,

- Like, or need, to escape from your everyday stress or boredom anyway!

Seeing is believing. Sightseeing is feeling through your own five senses! See Naples and Come on in Japan any time! I’m ready here whenever you are.
