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.
My schedule will be flexible, up to my deadline of works.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“Simply the best guide in Tokyo ”
I was lucky enough to have engaged the services of Yuji-San on behalf of members of my family with their first visit to Japan. The customised service was to meet my brother and sister in law (who arrived in Tokyo by ship) at the dock and chaperone them to Tokyo station, arrange their Shinkansen tickets for multiple trips while in Japan and show them to the platform where their first trip to Kyoto would depart from. The communication before they arrived, during the service and after was exceptional - he was incredibly attentive and very caring. He also arranged for them to get some cash from the atm and buy some lunch and drinks for the journey. This guys is just great - so if you are looking for someone who actually cares about your trip, I highly recommend Yuji-San I will be returning to Japan for a third trip next year and I certainly will be engaging Yuji…..if he is available

“Great tour guide for initial visit in Tokyo”
Yuji was our guide who welcomed us into his city. We walked (including subways) to Hamarikyu Gardens, a beautiful property in the middle of the city. He showed us portions of the Ginza District and the large shrine in Asakusa. He also walked us to the Sumo show building we would be returning to that evening, ensuring we knew its location in a pedestrian only area. He knew the history and highlights of the places we visited and was very open about his personal history and how it influenced him to becoming a guide. Overall a very informative and pleasant time as our introduction to this city.

Thank you for your review, Fred san. I hope you could get souvenirs for your grandkids before you leave. Even I really felt two of you are pretty much lovely husband & wife through our tour. I know two of you are going to many other countries, but please come back here for cherry blossom in Spring ! That time you don't need a guide any more, but don't forget to contact me !!!!

“Osaka visit via Bullet Train from Tokyo ”
Yuki did excellent job. He got us from our hotel and navigated the Shinkansen (bullet train) station for us and got us to Osaka safely which was a fun adventure in itself. Then he gave us a great tour of Osaka (Dotombori area and more) and returned us safely Absolutely outstanding. Being in our seventies, he took such good care of us. highly recommend him!!!!!!

Thank you for your review, Stan san ! Once again, happy birthday for your 70th birthday & 50th wedding anniversary!!! I felt like I was traveling with my parents. And I am really proud of your action that try to communicate with locals in Japanese you just studied by yourself. You have faced death and overcame the greatest surgery, so you can feel the importance of life & joy. I learned a lot from you in the short time I spent with you. Please continue to spend a wonderful time with your lovely wife, Rosemary!!!
