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!

Overview of your Tokyo tour

One day is not good enough to see the gigantic city "Tokyo". I will plan your exciting two days in Tokyo by combining old area and new area. I will explain about history and religion by visiting Asakusa, Ueno, Imperial Palace East Garden, and Meiji Shrine. I will show you the beauty of Japanese gardens, in Hamarikyu Garden and Rikugien Garden. I will show you quiet and lively daily life in Tokyo in Yanaka and Nezu Shrine. For pop culture explorers, I take you to narrow corridors in Akihabara and Harajuku fashion streets. I will take you to the best lunch place according to your request. Sushi, Ramen, Tempura, Tonkatsu and all of your favorite foods are waiting for you. In order to customize the tour best for you, contact me beforehand to discuss. We use public transportations, such as trains, and subways. If you are not willing to walk much, we take taxis.

What an amazing tour!!! I traveled as a husband and wife with a 10 year old daughter. We had an amazing time. Our guide was very knowledgeable as well as accommodating. Yoshi educated us while at the same time ensuring we had lots of fun!! There were so many places we saw that were epic!! We have been using Tour by Locals for years and Yoshi had to be one of the BEST Tour Guides we have ever encountered. He was very sweet to my daughter explaining things simply yet engaging. Yoshi is also a great photographer providing us with many memorable photos. We felt very safe / relaxed in Yoshi's hands as he met us at our hotel in the morning and dropped us back off in the evening after a full day of knowledge and fun!! What a great trip Thank you so much Yoshi :)

Yoshi was a fantastic guide for this first timer to Japan. He is very knowledgeable about all areas of Tokyo. My 2 days spent with him helped me navigate on my own for the rest of my time in Tokyo.

After a 12 day cruise around Japan, this two day tour with Yoshi proved to be far superior in quality and value than any of the 10 ship excursions we booked. Yoshi explained the cultural and historical significance of each site we visited in fluent English, fielding any questions we had before explaining where we were heading next and the route we would take to get there. Before our arrival, Yoshi put together a proposed itinerary for each day with our requests for major shrines, temples, and gardens while minimizing stairs. Traversing the public transit system, Yoshi made sure we took the elevator whenever possible and avoided descending stairs, making for a safer, more accessible tour than even the ship excursions labeled "easy." Meeting us in our hotel lobby and ensuring we return there, we easily recommend a private tour with Yoshi as an exceptional way to see Tokyo!
