“Really great guide!”
Lovely, gentle, thoughtful, hospitable and helpful. We spent several days with Atsuko and appreciated every minute of it. She seemed to personify Japanese culture - knowledgeable, interesting, punctual, and hard working. She thoroughly planned out what we were doing every day and is as nice as the day is long. A really great choice for a guide - highly recommend! We all hope we see her again at some point!

Now in Tokyo hydrangea are starting to bloom when I see those flowers I remember yours. Supernova story also crealy remember that Monique told me and Jane while walking Imperial Palace ground with her gestures. I also hope to see you all again very much some day. Please take care and enjoy Korea.

“Fantastic tour”
We had Atsuko for two different days of touring. She was amazing helping us navigate buying train cards and explaining the trains around Tokyo. She custom built a tour for us and allowed changes when we wanted to. A lovely person and excellent guide.

Thank you for taking time to write me such a fantastic review Susan! I had a pleasant time with your family. Taking public transportation require a lot of walking and a lot of stairs like you mentioned in Instagram. I hope you had a wonderful time in Japan.

“Atsuko is amazing!”
We did all 3 tours that Atsuko offered and had an amazing 3 days with her. As first-time visitors to Japan, she not only familiarized us with Tokyo quickly, but also taught us about their culture, religion, and of course, the food. She contacted me in advance of our trip to get the Suica card for riding on the trains which she also acclimated us quickly. She is super friendly, knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. I would strongly recommend her as your guide and thank her for an amazing trip to Tokyo!

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !
