Meet Your Guide – Yoshi Hi, I’m Yoshi! I’m a nationally licensed tour guide with over seven years of experience guiding visitors around Tokyo and the surrounding areas. I’m proud to have received five-star ratings from every guest, thanks to my love of people and passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences. Born in Tokyo near the famous Asakusa district and now living in Yokohama, I know the Tokyo and Kanagawa areas inside and out. Whether you're looking for iconic landmarks or hidden gems, I’ll tailor the tour to your interests and pace. Before becoming a guide, I was the CEO of an internet company working with businesses around the world. I’ve also traveled extensively, so I understand international cultures and enjoy comparing them with Japanese traditions to help you gain deeper insight. I studied in the U.S. as a graduate student at UCLA and Stanford, so I speak fluent American English and can explain Japan in a way that makes sense to you. From popular spots like Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Palace, Ueno, Yanaka, and Odaiba to hidden temples off the beaten path, I’ll help you discover both the highlights and secrets of Tokyo. I typically use public transportation (train and subway), but we can take taxis if you prefer not to walk. If your destination is hard to reach by train, I may be able to drive my minivan—please inquire about availability and cost. Looking forward to meeting you and exploring Tokyo together!

We loved our day with Yoshi! He made sure the kiddos had an excellent day and was also able to cater to the adults. He taught us how to use the train station, made sure the kids always had great views and always knew where to go for a sweet treat. Thank you for a fun and adventurous day!

Yoshi was such a great guide as he customized and personalized the experience for us. We were traveling in Japan with 3 young kids, 9 and 6 year old twins and the tour took place on the day after we arrived. Yoshi made sure to check with us as it relates to jet lag, being able to walk for longer periods of time, and made modifications to the original plan based on our...

Ichi was the perfect guide for our family of 5 for 2 days as we explored Kyoto and Osaka. He had hand outs and maps and often gave us things to sample. We saw all the top sights and he did so well explaining the history and religious customs of the temples, shrines and castles we explored. He saved the day when one of our party left their passport in a knife shop earlier...
