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.

In Shinjuku, we will also take you to Golden Gai, where many small old Japanese bars are located. Enjoy the unique look of Golden Gai.
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.

“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.

Thank you for your sweet review. I know what I missed at Ueno. I hope you had a great time with the art teacher. I’m hoping two of you spend a wonderful time in Japan for 25th wedding anniversary!! Congrats, once again !!!

“Best way to start your Tokyo visit”
Yogi picked me up at my hotel and then proceeded to show me some of the highlights of Tokyo. We used public transport which made me confident to get around by myself. Yugi took many photo of me having a great time which, as a solo traveller, I really appreciated. We saw great places and ate lots of good food. The tour was conducted at a pace that suited me. I would really recommend Yugi’s tour.

“Amazing and included a twist of fate”
We are SO glad to have planned to meet up with Yuji on our first day in Tokyo. As well as sharing his immense wisdom with us, he helped to find an elusive 3-day subway pass that would have been impossible to find without his help, took a zillion pictures of our family, and kept my kids (ages 12-16) smiling, interested and happy. I so greatly appreciate his guidance and insight on our first day in Tokyo. To top it all off, in a twist of fate, we ran into him the next day on the subway. In a city the size of Tokyo this seems as likely as winning the lottery. Yuji thank you so much for all your kindness. I've fallen in love with Japan all over again.
