“Yumi—The Friend Who Made Tokyo Shine”
Yumi is an incredible guide! She’s fluent in English and helped me navigate the Tokyo metro with ease. The guided tour felt like spending the day with a good friend. Thank you for the amazing experience and unforgettable memories.

Desiree san, Thank you for your kind review of today's tour so soon. Since your stay is to be short, I wanted to show you as much as possible. We walked so long way, I think you'll sleep soundly after all that walking. Get plenty of rest and enjoy the rest of your stay in Tokyo. I also really enjoyed talking with you so much. Please come back to Tokyo and Japan again. Thank you again, Yumi

“Fantastic Tour”
Yumi provided a great tour and was so friendly. She showed us everything we need to know to catch the trains during our stay and it made everything so much easier. Yumi also recommended a restaurant where I had the best Ramen I have ever had.
Yumi I.
Renee san Thank you for your wonderful review and I'm really happy to read that you had the besgt Ramen. The tour is very short and time was limited. I did my best to show and guide everything I can do. I believe you've made many wonderful memories in Japan. I think you'll discover new things about Japan in different seasons, so please come back again. Thank you, Yumi

“Traditional crafts and artisan goods ”
What a great day! I asked Yumi to customize a tour of traditional Japanese crafts in Tokyo and she found wonderful shops and markets filled with artisan goods. Yumi is a total delight. The next day she sent me additional suggestions for more places to go. Above and beyond! Highly recommended!
Yumi I.
Susan san, Thank you very very very much for your wonderful review. I learned so much on the tour with Susan. It was a wonderful cultural exchange. I was reminded of the beauty of Japan's traditional crafts and artistry. Susan's curiosity, knowledge, and spirit of inquiry were truly remarkable and overwhelming. I will put this experience to great use in my future guiding work and do my best. Thank you so much.

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).

Important note: I am currently not able to take new customers after the end of March, 2026. 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. 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.
