I'll pick up you at your hotel and take you to traditional areas, Fukagawa and Ryougoku, which are reminiscent of old townscape in Edo, former name of Tokyo. You can enjoy more comfortable atmosphere apart from popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo. And at the end of my tour I'll take you to your favorite shopping area, Ginza, Shibuya or Shinjuku before leaving.

My husband and I are slow walkers and had not been to Tokyo before. Yoshi was a wonderful guide took us gently around showing off beautiful sites and giving the history which was important. We had a great day thanks to Yoshi.
Hi Deborah, Thank you for a lot walking with me. I appreciate your warm message. Please enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan and Korea. Best regards, Yoshi
We had a very enjoyable and informative 3 day tour with our guide Yoshi. Yoshi took us to many places where we were able to enjoy many things Japan has to offer. Two stand out highlights were feeding turtles and a Buddhist fire ceremony. Despite the very hot humid days Yoshi was well organised, very energetic with very good english language skills. Thank you Yoshi Vic and Margaret Roberts
Hi Victor, Thank you for your warm message. I think you enjoyed cruising around Japan avoiding a typhoon. I look forward to seeing you again. Yoshi
Yoshi was an excellent guide for our trip to Kamakura. He had great insights to the traditions and places, he was flexible and adjusted locations, pace and pickup as we needed. Yoshi was personable and and friendly with good English skills.
Thank you for your warm message. I also enjoyed being with you. Have a nice trip in Japan! Yoshi
