Hello everyone! My name is Go. I’m here to assist you as your personal navigator, guiding you through the captivating charms of Tokyo, Kamakura, and Hakone and My.Fuji. Are you planning a trip to Japan? If so, please feel at ease and entrust me with the important task of being your guide. Are you interested in Japanese culture, cuisine, shopping, shrines and temples, anime, karaoke, or traditional crafts? If so, look no further. I can customize a wide range of experiences, from classic tours around Tokyo and Kamakura to special adventures tailored just for you. Fulfilling your wishes brings me great joy. Before becoming a guide, I worked as an automotive product engineer for a global company. I visited 25 countries to provide technical and quality guidance and also lived in Italy and China, where I gained valuable international experience. During my travels, I was deeply inspired by the storytelling skills of local guides and discovered my passion for sharing the wonders of Japanese culture with people from around the world. After returning to Japan, I earned my National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter qualification. I then spent six years working as a volunteer guide to develop my skills before beginning my professional guiding career. Today, I focus on designing unique day trips in Tokyo and the surrounding areas. I offer a variety of experiences, including leisurely walks through charming old-town neighborhoods, writing haiku, tasting local street food, joining izakaya tours, watching sumo wrestling, and visiting cutting-edge attractions such as teamLab Planets and teamLab Borderless. Even if you are visiting Japan on a business trip and have limited free time, I can help you experience Japanese culture. Are you worried about planning your trip? Don’t be! Customizing tours to match each guest’s interests and preferences is my specialty. I am ready to respond quickly and confidently to a wide variety of requests. In my free time, I enjoy singing Italian canzone and taking care of my roses. Once again, my name is Go, which can mean “strong” or “gorgeous” in Japanese. It’s easy to remember, isn’t it? So, are you ready to “Go” explore Tokyo together? Let’s do it! National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter License No. EN00529, obtained in 2007 Eiken Grade 1 Italian Proficiency Test, Pre-2 Level Please note that I am unable to drive while guiding. However, I can arrange taxis when necessary. TikTok video featuring one of my Tokyo tours: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheshortsweet/video/7632404147408538910

    What an amazing one-day tour in Tokyo with Go Yoshida San! From the moment we met, he made everything feel easy and enjoyable. He was so informative, sharing all these cool stories and little details about the places we visited that you just wouldn’t get from a guidebook. At the same time he kept things fun and light, making sure we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. He...

    Go was exceptionally helpful before the tour in creating a bespoke tour and also providing information to make your visit to Japan and Tokyo positive and as easy as possible. On the tour itself we had a good day out and it was perfect for a first day in Tokyo to acclimate and see a number of different parts of the city. It was a hot day and by the end we and Go were hot...

    We had an amazing day with Go! He was incredibly flexible when we had to change our meeting time at the last minute and was so understanding about it. He took us to an incredible local sushi restaurant that we never would have found on our own, and throughout the day he shared so many helpful tips and recommendations that only a local would know. He was knowledgeable,...

    Our tour with Go-San was outstanding. He provided us with handouts with great information about the sites we were visiting. The transportation was very easy to use and we made sure we were well informed throughout the day. We had a great time. Plan your day with him, you will not regret it.
