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.

“Such a pleasure ”
We had a wonderful experience exploring Tokyo with Yuji. He didn’t just guide us around the city, he showed us the authentic Japan. Thoughtful, kind and always helping, he never stopped making our whole trip easy and memorable. He even captured beautiful photos along the way and shared moments we’ll treasure. Thank you, Yuji — it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and experience Tokyo through your eyes.

“Absolute cracker of a day with Yuji”
Fantastic day, Yuji is a really accommodating guide. We deliberately planned a local guide for our first full day in Tokyo knowing it was going to be a lot. Yuji helped us buy whatever we needed, understand and catch trains, took photos, all the while helping us understand the real Tokyo and explore numerous places we wanted to see. Engaged so well with all members of the family individually and as a group. An absolute pleasure to spend the day with you Yuji San. Can't rate him highly enough. Thank you.

“Great fun exploring Akihabara and Nagano”
We had great fun in Akihabara and Nagano with Yuji. His English is excellent and he has a detailed knowledge of Japanese illustration, having worked as a creator in that industry. Yuji helped us navigate our way around the countless shops in Akihabara, helping us locate particular figures from older anime that my daughter and I were interested in. We also saw the ‘older’ side of Electric City. After that we went to Nagano where we browsed the book stores in Nagano Broadway.

Thank you for your review, Ralph san. I was so impressed about you & your daughter‘s knowledge about Japanese animation & characters. Please, come back Tokyo again because I know both of you need more time in Akihabara for sure.

Yacco M.
Hi, I’m Yacco, a friendly and passionate local guide. I was born and raised in Shizuoka and have lived in Yokohama for over 30 years. For the past several years, I’ve been guiding international visitors in Kamakura, Yokohama, and Tokyo as a volunteer, helping them discover the rich history, culture, and hidden charm of these unique cities. Traveling abroad creates once-in-a-lifetime memories, and I would love for you to fully experience the beauty and spirit of my favorite towns. I not only enjoy showing historical and modern landmarks, but also love introducing quiet backstreets, seasonal flowers, cozy cafés, and delicious local food that reflect the charm of everyday life. What I enjoy most is comparing Japanese traditions with my guests’ own cultures and histories—these conversations often lead to deep and inspiring exchanges. As your guide, I’m happy to customize tours based on your interests, whether you’re seeking unique experiences, historical insights, or local flavors. Let’s walk, talk, and create unforgettable memories together!

Grant A.
Important note: I am currently not able to take new customers after the end of March, 2026. 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. 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.
