I love eating, shopping and cooking, so Tokyo is one of most exciting places in Japan for me!! I think, not only for me and Japanese people, but also foreign tourists.

“Tokyo with Yumi ”
Yumi was GREAT!! This was our first time in Japan and I did not know how to really plan a trip like this with a family of 7. Yumi wanted to show us even more but we were a little too slow. I know She felt like she did not show us enough but we were very thankful for her and it was more than enough. She even went over the time and refused addional payment. We were very comfortable with her and highly recommend her. Thank you Yumi. Hope to see you again someday. : )

Robert san Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I also had a wonderful time on the tour. I imagine traveling with three generations can be challenging at times, given everyone’s different preferences and energy levels, but I was truly impressed by what a wonderful family you are—you all respected one another and enjoyed the trip together. I learned so much from you all. I wish we could have visited a few more sightseeing spots, but please do come back to Japan again—I look forward to seeing you. Yumi

“Tokyo Insights”
Dear Yumi, thank you for a wonderful day tour in Tokyo in April of 2026! Visit of Tsukiji fish outer market was an authentic and unforgettable experience for me! I am grateful to you for showing me around Tokyo and seeing its cultural and urban blending. Thank you for your care and kindness, for valuable recommendations of other places to visit and directions in Tokyo metro!
Yumi I.
Dina san, thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm really happy to know that you enjoyed staying in Japan.We timed our meal at Tsukiji just right, didn’t you? I wonder if your niece liked the “Made in Japan” souvenirs you found in Harajuku? I really admire your determination to make the most of your stay and spend your time efficiently. Learning about Kazakhstan was very educational for me as well, and I had a wonderful time. Please come back again with your friends. Be sure to tell them all about Japan. Thank you Yumi

“Amazing day with Yumi”
Yumi was a terrific guide who taught us a lot about Japanese culture and history and listened to our input about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. We covered way more ground with her than we would have on our own. Highly recommend!
Yumi I.
Jennifer san, thank you so so so much for your super wonderful review. I was so happy to meet both of you, and with the beautiful weather, I had a truly enjoyable and happy time.I wanted you to make as many memories as possible within the limited time we had, so I’m sure you must have gotten tired from walking such a long distance. I also learned a great deal from our conversation. I hope you make many wonderful memories during the rest of your stay in Japan, and that you share the beauty of Japan with your friends. Thank you so much again. Have nice days during the stay in Japan. Yumi

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 !

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).
