“Repeat Customer ”
Well, how does working with Atsuko two years in a row sound as far as a recommendation :) I commented last year how it felt more like walking around with a friend who knew everything about the area we were touring. I had to remember it was a guided tour. Last year was a one 4 hour tour. This year I booked two 4 hour tours and couldn’t be happier. I think what I like most is how willing Atsuko is to join in on activities. Granted for me that’s typically eating, but whether it’s street food or lunch Atsuko is just one more person at the table, trying street food or playing at the cat cafe. I suppose everyone has a different idea of what a guide should offer, but for me forgetting your guide is a guide but a friend exploring and experiencing everything with you … well, that’s my description of a great tour guide! I can’t recommend Atsuko highly enough if my version of success matches your idea of what a guide should offer. (The red rain coat was great for not getting lost in the crowds!)

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Matthew!! I really appreciate your kind consideration. Also you gave me a gift from your country that I can not buy in Japan. I really love it. It was great time you and your friend Bruce. Hope you had a wonderful time in Japan not only Tokyo. Hope to see you again someday.

“Enjoying Tokyo with Atsuko”
Enjoying Tokyo with Atsuko is like walking around with a good friend. We instantly bonded with her which made the experience so pleasant. In the two days we spent together we were able to see Tokyo highlights and enjoy two amazing lunches. Her knowledge of the city made the tours interesting. We highly recommend her tours.
Atsuko T.
Thank you for taking time to write me excellent review again. I looked your Instagram there are a lot of beautiful pictures on cruise. Mt.Fuji from ship is so beautiful to see. I've never seen from that angle. Hope you had a wonderful time on your journey.

“Great day with Atsuko”
We had such a fantastic day with Atsuko, she was lovely and gave us so much local information on the food, culture, shrines and temples we visited. She also managed to take us where we would see Cherry Blossoms and suited the tour to our requests. It was well worth it, we had lots of fun with Atsuko and she got us around much quicker and took us to a great little sushi restaurant. Robbie, James and Sam

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

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

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!!
