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.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

To tell the truth, there are just too many attractive places to visit in Tokyo. Out of those places, I have chosen super attractive ones and those are not to be missed. Starting with world-famous Tsukiji fish market, Asakusa area with Sensoji, the oldest temple in Tokyo, Meiji Jingu Shrine, the most popular and admired shrine in Tokyo, with a very serene atmosphere. Omote Sando area with modern stores and fashion where you can enjoy from pop culture to some traditional arts ranging from sward to teapots. Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the world famous crossing where up to 3, 000 people cross at once. We can also visit Kiyosumi Japanese Garden which is one of the compact but well preserved Japanese garden in the center of the city of Tokyo. Last but not least, the Buddhist temple, Fukagawa Fudo-do where the praying with fire accompanied by drum beating ceremony brings you to a world of very exotic religious world you will never forget.

We have been able to visit several places in Tokyo during the day and Toshi shared details about events and cultural traits and traditions. Toshi was open to make modifications to the tour and included for us a visit to a niche art shop.

Toshi was a wonderful guide! He adapted the tour to our needs, showed us how to manouver the tokyo metro, and even helped us retrieve our japan rail tickets! We visited various sites where he provided insightful explanations. We had a wonderful lunch with him, and he spoke perfect english, and spanish.
