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.

“A nice day with a nice Guide in Tokyo”
It was a wonderful day with Yuji. He is a fantastic guide with excellent English and a wealth of knowledge about Tokyo, the Japanese people, and their culture. He accommodated our requests and took plenty of time to answer any questions. He took lots of photos of us, so we'll have a great souvenir. The tour in the park with a short tea ceremony was just as interesting as the business district and the Asakusa Shrine. We had lunch. There was ramen. It was so delicious. And of course, a delicious dessert was a must. We highly recommend the tour with Yuji.

“Tour to Remeber!”
First of all I want to thank Yuji for such a wonderful and informative tour! He picked us up from the hotel and drove us to go sightseeing around Yokohama. He’s very accommodating and asked us if there’s anything we wanted to visit. Not included in the itinerary is a visit to the Ramen museum and Pokemon center that he agreed to take us. In addition he’s very knowledgeable to the local customs and food scene as we took strolls tasting delicious street food! My siblings and I were amazed that we were able to do so much in one day.

Thank you for your review, Ryan san. I really enjoyed taking you around Yokohama. I bet you could sleep well after the tour. I hope you have a great time during the rest of your stay in Tokyo.

“Great local guide ”
Yuji was great. He offered us insights into where the locals visit and shop. He took us to get some fresh sushi at the markets where he gets his fish. It was excellent. And the best part was he took a lot of pictures and sent them to us at the end of the day.

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Hello, potential tourists! I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license. I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015. Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan. It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well. However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan, without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities. Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan ! Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now! Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ? Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city. See you in Yokohama, Japan!

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
