“Not the best weather but a wonderful day”
Aissam gave us a wonderful day with our unique request. Got lucky and saw Mt. Fuji on a very grey day.

“First Class Service from Aissam”
My wife Carrie and I have just come back from a full day of sightseeing in Tokyo with Aissam. Aissam is the most thoughtful and caring guide you could wish to have. This young man is very knowledgeable and thoughtful and we couldn't have navigated this wonderful and enormous city without his expert assistance. To navigate the Metro as a novice is impossible and even an expert sometimes has problems Aissam was very understanding with my wife's walking problems and made this day fantastic with an excellent service. Anyone who manages to book Aissam will be very lucky. Many thanks, Jeff
Aissam E.
Dear Jeff, Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot to me. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with you and Carrie. I’m really glad I could help make Tokyo feel easier to navigate and enjoyable for both of you. Please give my regards to Carrie — I really appreciated her positivity and energy throughout the day. Moments like these are exactly why I love what I do. Wishing you both many more amazing travels, and I hope to see you again in Japan someday. Warm regards, Aissam

“Last minute change”
Aissam had a medical emergency and found an alternate tour guide to cover. Her name is Chisato. She made the day trip to Hakone a delight.
Aissam E.
Thank you for your feedback. I truly appreciate your understanding regarding the medical emergency on that day. I’m very glad to hear that Chisato made your Hakone trip enjoyable. We always do our best to ensure a great experience, even in unexpected situations, and your comments help us improve further.

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).

Shin N.
Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years. I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots. I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto, so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities. I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains. I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit. I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one. It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule, in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!
