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.

“Great day with Yuji!”
It was a pleasure to be guided by Yuji! He is such a friendly guy and has an interesting background, which made for great conversations between the various stops. He was always ready and willing to adjust the tour according to my preferences. I will definitely book with him again on my next visit. Thank you, Yuji!

Thank you for your review, Rebecca san. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Japan. Even though your son was in a rebellious phase, he was a wonderful boy who took pictures with you. Please look back on your memories of Japan with these photos and see you again !!!

“Amazing day covering so many sites and adapted the tour for our pace and interests”
Yuji was a great guide, so fun and personable. He helped us get acclimated to the trains and showed us so many parts of Tokyo in one day. Seeing Godzilla in shinjuku was one thing on our list. We also got to experience a variety of Japanese treats from fresh sashimi at Tsukiji to rice balls at Asakusa. It was a great first day in Tokyo and Yuji gave us lots of good suggestions for the rest of our trip too. We ventured back to Golden Gae a few days later to check it out at night. We would all highly recommend Yuji!!!

Thank you for your review. I’m hoping you enjoy your stay in Japan. I was kind of worried about your father a little bit because he seemed so tired. But I also could see he reminded his old days in Japan. Please, say hello to Kyle’s family for me !!

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!!

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.
