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 available from 9am to 5pm everyday.
I am flexible to one day trip to Hakone, Lake Kawaguchi and Nikko if you pay my transportation fee on top of the tour in Tokyo.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“Great tour with Yoshi-San”
Yoshi-San is a very friendly and knowledgeable Japanese, English-speaking gentleman. He used to work for a Japanese company, for which he traveled abroad a lot, and became a full-time guide 6 years ago. He took our family on a great two-day tour around Tokyo. He went to pick us up at the hotel and dropped us back at the hotel as well, which was very convenient. He brought custom-made printed pages to each visit to make sure we fully understood and retained the key historical / cultural details. He took us to nice places to visit and eat, suggested breaks when appropriate, proposed to take pictures, and was very understanding (our kids were exhausted from the plane trip so we had to cut part of the 8-hour program the first day). He is a fast-walker so make sure to bring appropriate shoes :-). Highly recommend!

“Guided tour of Toyko with Joshi”
Joshi is an engaging, informative guide that made us feel very welcome .He took us to some places that we would not have the confidence to do on our own .we came away with some knowledge of this great city.we would recommend Joshi as your guide anytime.

“Terrific Day in Kamakura with Yoshi”
If you are looking for a great day trip outside Tokyo, Yoshi curated a terrific one day itinerary. Not only did we see three temples and a shrine, we experienced drinking matcha in a bamboo forest, learned about Shinto and Buddhism, strolled through gorgeous gardens, and were educated us on how to eat cold soba noodles with tempura properly. He also helped us navigate the subway and bus system with multiple transfers, which we would have had difficulty with otherwise. We saw and did and learned so much more than we could have on our own. We could not recommend Yoshi more highly!
