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.

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.

“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.

“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!!!

“A Truly Exceptional Experience”
We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Tokyo with one of the most outstanding guides we've ever met. From the moment we met, he was incredibly flexible, adjusting the itinerary to suit our pace and interests. His caring nature made us feel welcomed and looked after throughout the entire experience. What truly set him apart was his ability to show us hidden gems—charming local eateries. He also made sure we didn’t miss the best-known highlights of Tokyo, weaving them seamlessly into our journey. Thanks to him, we experienced Tokyo not just as tourists, but as curious travelers discovering the soul of the city. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Tokyo!
Yuji H.
Thank you for your wonderful review !! I really appreciate it. It can be difficult to guide people around Tokyo in the heat of the Japanese summer. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy Tokyo despite the circumstances. Tokyo is crowded with tourists, but if you go down a back street you'll find spaces where locals gather. I'm sure Kyoto and Osaka are even hotter, but I hope you'll experience Japanese culture and people there !! I hope to see you again someday here or in your country !!

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

Yoshi K.
Hi! I'm Yoshi. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. Since I was born in Tokyo, near Asakusa, the famous tourist spot, and I now live in Yokohama, I am very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of Tokyo and Kanagawa area. I used to live in California in the states, as a graduate student at UCLA and Stanford University, so I speak natural American English. I used be a CEO of an internet company, dealing business with many foreign companies of the US, European countries and Asian countries. Therefore, I know your culture! I can explain Japanese culture, by comparing them with yours. Of course, I can guide you to the popular spots, like Asakusa, the Imperial palace, Meiji shrine, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. But also I can take you to some secret places, which nobody knows, like a hidden temple in a dungeon. Interested? Please contact me. See you soon! Yoshi

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!!
