“Visite mt takao”
Journée merveilleuse, le soleil était de la partie ,et Virgine toujours de bonne heure , nous a fait découvrir un superbe endroit. Conseiller de prendre telepherique pour atteindre le sommet et avoir de bonnes jambes pour la descente de 1,3 km. Un bain Onsen, à la fin de parcours finira bien votre journée Merci Virginie pour le temps que tu mets à toujours en faire plus pour tes clients.

“A very pleasant day”
We did the 6 hour tour with Virginie . She met us at our hotel and we saw all the main sights in that 6 hours. A lot of metros and walking but there is no other way to do it . Virginie brings a western persons insight to Tokyo which was interesting and informative. Virginie is easy to be with and it all made for a very pleasant day.

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 am 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!!

I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..
