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.

“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 !!

“Wonderful Guide!”
Yuji was very responsive to messages before the tour. He showed up early at our meeting spot. He is friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about Tokyo’s history, culture and scene. He tailored our tour to meet our needs and kindly helped me out in a pharmacy. Yuji spent years in the states and has had an interesting journey. Great guide and great person. Highly recommend Yuji and this tour.
Yuji H.
Thank you for your review !! I really had good time to spend a time with you ladies. I am sorry this time of season in Japan, pretty hot. But less tourists comparing to other seasons. I am hoping you enjoy the rest of your journey in Japan !!! Please, take care of yourselves !

Nahomi O.
Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Miura Peninsula, a beautiful coastal area just south of Tokyo. I’ve been living here for nearly 10 years, surrounded by the sea, fields, and a peaceful way of life. The Miura Peninsula has many unique towns. Kamakura is an old capital where Japan’s first samurai government began. Yokosuka has long been a base for the Japanese Navy, and today it is a special mix of American and Japanese naval cultures. Misaki & Jogashima (Miura City) is a quiet fishing and farming town, very different from busy Tokyo. Hayama is a beautiful town with a summer house of the Japanese Imperial Family. Through my tours, I want to show not only the famous places but also everyday life in Japan—especially how people live in small towns outside the big city. I hope you can feel the calm, kindness, and beauty of local life. I’d love to show you the slower, more local side of Japan. Let’s explore together!

Kota A.
Hello everyone! My name is Kota. After graduation from a university in Japan I spent a year in Vancouver, Canada, on a working holiday. While working as a server at a sushi restaurant, I had many opportunities to interact with guests who loved Japan, while also learning about Canadian culture from them. Those experiences became truly meaningful to me, and now I would like to take on that role here in Japan—sharing the beauty of my country with visitors and creating unforgettable memories together. Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, but beyond its well-known landmarks, it is full of hidden gems that are less crowded and waiting to be discovered. I would be delighted to explore such places with you and do my very best to make your trip to Japan a wonderful experience. Since I am originally from Hiroshima, I am also very familiar with Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. I would be happy to give you helpful advice if you plan to visit those areas. And if our schedules align, I would love to guide you around my hometown Hiroshima, as well as Shiga where I spent my student years, or even Kyoto and Osaka. Please feel free to reach out anytime! I enjoy watching soccer (especially Manchester United!), and I also like beer and whisky. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all :)

Toru I.
Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii
