“Yoshi delivered showing us all highlights Tokyo has to offer!”
In only 2 days, Yoshi was able to show us most of the highlights that North, South, East, and West Tokyo offer. Because of the volume of sites to see and things to do, I think it would take you at least 1 year to see everything. We are glad we opted for a personal guide because if we had to navigate the subways, trains, boats, buses, and monorail, we would probably still be lost! Yoshi was very knowledgeable about Japanese history. We give him a 5-star rating and would recommend him to anyone. PS: Yoshi is an older gentleman, but I doubt most young people could keep up with him.

Hi myrna, thank you for your 5-star review. I was also so happy guiding you in Japan and grateful you walked a lot and steadily everyday. I hope you enjoyed your trans-Pacific cruise and Wendy's grandchildren like the souvenirs she bought. Yoshi

“Yoshi was the Best!”
We booked 3 days with Yoshi. We told him that we would like to see all the highlights of Tokyo, and he delivered. We are in our mid 60's and Yoshi was older, but I swear he would win the Men's Olympic 400-meter race. He was very knowledgeable about Tokyo, Japanese history, and the subway system. While doing the special areas of North, South, East, and West Tokyo, it was Kamakura that we were in love with. We took the subway, train and bus to get there, and the sites were magical. Yoshi introduced us to Tempura, Macha, Wasabi and best of all, Wagyu. He tried to get us to try sushi, but he was unsuccessful. He did, however, show us the samples in the fish and food markets. If we were to good back to Japan I would definitely try to book Yoshi again. He was wonderful. 5 stars!

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

Important note: I am currently not able to take new customers after the end of March, 2026. 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. 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.

Shin N.
Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years. I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots. I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto, so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities. I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains. I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit. I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one. It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule, in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!
