“Tour guide Dai”
I booked this experience mainly for my teenage sons. We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Dai on our first trip to Japan. Despite the rainy weather, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day. His positive attitude and dedication made all the difference. My teenage boys had a fantastic time, which says a lot! The gaming session he did with my boys—they absolutely loved it! He got along with them so naturally, and it was wonderful to see how engaged and excited they were throughout the tour. Everything ran so smoothly, and he was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. Dai also went above and beyond by recommending other great places for us to visit and even helped us navigate Tokyo's transport system. He stayed with us until we were departed back to our hotel, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you for making our first Tokyo trip experience memorable.

Thank you for your detailed review! I would appreciate for your booking and time despite the heavy rain. To be honest, I wish I could spend more time with your family without a bad weather condition. All of you were nice to me, I even enjoyed the good lunch time together haha. Please let me know when you come back Japan again! :)

“Personal Day tour ”
Dai was great. Moulded our day tour to suit and was very happy to adjust the day to more reflect what we wanted to see. Even though we changed some places he was still very informative and gave us some great insight to history and traditions. The Lunch spots he took us too were also great, but again asked for our input onto what we wanted. His English was also very good. We felt very comfortable the whole time and would definitely do another tour with Dai.

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

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!!
