Guide #28571

Hi, I am Toshi, the National Certified Guide for both English and Spanish. I passed English 3 years ago in 2015 and Spanish in 1978 over 40 years ago. I lived in the USA for over 10 years and in Latin America for over 5 years. I am now settled in Yokohama, Japan for over 20 years. My favorite hobby is appreciating different glasses of wines from different wine regions of the world. In fact, I loved wine so much, I studied wine when I was stationed at New York, and finally became the wine sommelier. Now, I also teach wine at least once a month in Tokyo and have over 100 registered students. My main area for guiding is Tokyo. Tokyo offers such a wide variety of attractions and beautiful places such as historical and cultural places, museums, modern buildings, and fine restaurants. I especially like to take friends to many different styles of Japanese restaurants and bars. As a wine sommelier, I can guide you to the good combinations of Japanese Foods and Drinks not only wines but also Sake, Shochu and Whiskies and others. In addition to Tokyo, I also do guiding for places like Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Fuji area and its surrounding area. I do guiding not only for daytime but also for evenings like from 5:30 -9:30. So if you come to Japan and looking for a guide to a variety of Japanese foods and drinks please contact me. Remember, Japanese foods are not only Sushi, Tempura and Sukiyaki. I hope you can enjoy Japan with me. I will be waiting for your contacts.

Here in Japan, that activity requires a special driving license. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    Kenji is a good guide but quiet. We had to ask questions but he was willing to share the answers. We enjoyed what we saw, the Bamboo garden and the bronze Buddha and we also enjoyed lunch. But that is all we saw on a very long tour because it is a lot of train rides and time just getting to Kamakura from Tokyo. It might be better to stay a night in the area after...

    We had an outstanding evening with Toshi. He organised a fabulous meal at an authentic Japanese restaurant that you’d never find on your own, with a terrific Japanese chef who did everything in her small restaurant. Enjoyed chatting about wine, international travel and many other things with Toshi who provided all of the context to the food and the interpretation. Highly...
