Before working as a Certified National Tour Guide that I started 9years ago, I had worked for seafood industry for over 20years with experiences visiting many foreign countries, such as U. S. A, Canada, Norway, Iceland, U. K. , Holland, Poland, Russia, Chile, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and others…. As well as visiting many foreign countries, I also visited many places all over Japan, from north to south. I used to live in the east coast of the U. S. for participating in master's program for International Community Economic Development where I met people from many countries with various backgrounds. With those experiences, I think I had got communication skills for people from various cultural backgrounds. And, those experiences inspired me to become a guide to introduce my country, Japan to people from all over the world. I think Japan is very attractive country on both culture and nature. I am a Certified National Tour Guide who is authorized by Japan National Tourism Agency which is an external bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. I also have a license of domestic itinerary administration manager. It is posslbe to offer you customized tours depending on your request as well. You count on me and let's explore beautiful Japan together !

Overview of your Yokohama tour

Yokohama is one of the biggest cities in Japan with 3. 7 million population. Yokohama has a big port and port-centered city. During the middle of 19centuries, Yokohama was the one of the ports which opened to great power nations, such as U. S. A, U. K, Holland, France and Russia. I would like to show you both old and modern Yokohama on this private tour. Especially, Sankeien Garden is one of the places I would like you to see. You can see old traditional Japanese style buildings in wide area. Most of old houses and buildings were brought from Kyoto and other places and reconstructed in Yokohama. You can see beautiful Japanese style old houses and buildings and enjoy seasonal flowers in most of every season. You can choose 2 or 3places I recommend in the itinerary.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Shoji. He is knowledgeable, personable, friendly and took us places we would never have seen. A great balance of Yokohama city, Chinatown, a beautiful Japanese garden/park full of history Sankeien garden, and a phenomenal 69 story tower view of the entire region. Shoji is the kind of person you like to meet and hope to see again

Shoji is very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed our tour which blended sights from old and modern Yokohama and gave us insight into Japanese culture. The Sankien Garden was a lovely place to visit-very peaceful and interesting to see the 16th century buildings which were relocated and rebuilt on the grounds. Shoji was very accommodating to our desire to walk as well as use public transportation to the sights. We highly recommend Shoji as your guide.

We had a great tour with Shoji-san in Yokohama today! He speaks excellent English and is accommodating, attentive, knowledgeable and just a great guide all around. He went above and beyond and even waited for the train with us to make sure we got on the right one! We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Yokohama and surrounding areas.
