About Tour Guide Yuji H.
This is Yuji, Japanese creator, such as painting, illustration, cartoon, and designing for Japanese magazine & advertising. I graduated from college in the US long ago. I used to work for Japanese publishing company for travel and Information magazine. I take lots of foreign friends to many places around Tokyo as a guide. I can take you common famous places, but also I can guide you if you have a special request, such as art, anime, table tennis or something belongs to your interest. For mostly I guide you by using the common transportation. but I also use my car to take you around for a small member of group because my car is so small, mini cooper.

Yokohama tour from Tokyo by car
This is Yokohama guide tour by car. I'm not sure how many other guides mention the summer in Japan is so hot and worse than you can imagine. Yokohama is the 2nd biggest city in Japan, with 3.8 million population. It's one of the popular areas for Japanese to live or stay. It's also one major port cities in Japan. You can see the traditional & modern arctectures in Yokohama area. I'll be responsible for everything from hotel pick-up, transportation to each point, and transportation to your hotel.
Reviews
“What a great day!”
In his Mini Cooper, Yuji covered a lot of territory for us in just one day. He was informative,, and his English is well understandable. In fact he taught us some Japanese. The day passed quickly and he managed to find a superb lunch, catering to my food peculiarities. He was also very solicitous with and to my husband who has difficulty walking. Ha managed to tailor the tour to our needs and was flexible throughout. I would highly recommend him!

Dear Ken & Sue Thamk you for your review. I really enjoied spending time with 2 of you today. I changed the plan so that your husband, Ken, wouldn't have to walk much, but he still had to walk a little anyway. I'll never forget the smile he gave me and the big hug he gave me at the end. Thank you for sharing your wonderful time with me. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
“Personal art tour”
I had a great day with Yuji! Before I booked we agreed on an itinerary of some museums in Tokyo and also in Yokohama. Communication before we met up was good and Yuji made me feel welcome, and he had also done some research, so we made a small detour to see a pop up exhibition as well. Yuji also took lots of pictures, which was nice, as a solo traveller you're rarely in your own photos. Yuji is an easy-going guide and he loves to drive his mini, which meant I was dropped back right in front of my hotel, nice after a long day. Thank you Yuji!

“Accommodating and Informative”
To be honest, I would not have navigated Tokyo as easily without Yuji-sensei's instruction. Showed me some great places with delicious eats and I learned a lot along the way. Very patient and relaxed individual. Went out of his way facilitate my interests.

Dear Jochen san Than you for your review and even, also call me "Sensei". I am so glad you could spend the rest of your stay without any serious trouble in Tokyo. I knew it is a pice of cake for you. Please, come back with your beautiful wife next time, and guide her & maybe me. Actually I was almost going to spend more time asking you questions about your work & your experiences instead of guiding you. Please, safe trip to home !!! See you again !
