“Tokyo Must See Tour”
We had a very nice tour with Virginia B. She was pleasant and shared all her knowledge for each of our stops. We took many different trains and did lots of walking. We did not feel rushed and able to enjoy the sights at each location.

“Beaucoup, à notre rythme”
Virginie a su adapté les visites à notre rythme, à notre âge. Elle proposait des pauses pour reposer nous jambes. Très apprécié. Avec elle nous avons compris comment fonctionnait le réseau du métro. Les incontournables de Tokyo: ses explications, sans être interminables, étaient suffisantes pour susciter notre intérêt. Elle répondait à nos questions avec franchise. Virginie nous avons vraiment apprécié notre journée avec toi. Merci. Sylvie et Alain 05-04-2025.

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!!

My name is Yukiko . I have a national license for a tour guide in English. I live in Tokyo on weekdays and go back to my house in Kamakura on weekend. I like both cities. Tokyo is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Kamakura is a traditional city with history and nature. I like communicating with people. My family and I had homestay students from all over the world and my children call me "mother of the world." I like learning foreign languages. I speak a little German and I learned a little Italian last year. I also have a license for teaching Japanese to foreigners as a second language. It would be a great pleasure for me to make your trip to Japan more valuable and impressive through my explanation of Japanese culture and history, I am looking forward to seeing you.

Hello, potential tourists! I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license. I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015. Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan. It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well. However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan, without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities. Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan ! Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now! Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ? Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city. See you in Yokohama, Japan!
