Don’t hesitate! Book a tour with Yuichi. We had the best day exploring Tokyo with Yuichi and could not have done it without him. Tokyo is a huge city and can be overwhelming but exploring with Yuichi was easy! He showed us big attractions but also shared local and authentic perspectives and gave great tips on how to get around. He was flexible with the itinerary and adjusted based on our interests and how we were feeling. For anyone considering a private tour in Tokyo, look no further!

This experience exceeded my expectations in every way. We have hired private guides for years in variety of cities around the globe, and no other guide has matched Yuichi’s level of diversity and depth of knowledge. He answered our questions re food, temples, shrines, neighborhoods, history, architecture, art, art history, pop culture, and the best places to buy anything in Tokyo. And if Yuichi didn’t have an immediate answer, he did his very best to find one. He was fun, energetic and just all around likable! I also want to mention that Yuichi took AMAZING photos of my son and me through out the day, so we ended up with professional-level pictures, as if we had booked an Airbnb portrait session as well! Highly recommend, and my 21 year old son agrees 100%!

Yuichi was incredible! He offered us his time, knowledge and patience with such grace and generosity. We went to so many highlight spots on Tokyo and had the best time possible. We started our day at the Tsukiji market and he waited 30 minutes in the queue so we could enjoy the best sushi of our lives! The whole experience could not have been better. We loved spending our first day in Tokyo with him so we could get a taste of the city immediately. Thanks to Yuichi for all of the time you spent with us and the thoughtfulness you put into our experience. As a native of Tokyo, he is clearly proud of his home, as he should be, and delights in showing his guests what this special place has to offer.

We are traveling as a family of four with adult children age 18 & 20. This was our first time to Japan so we booked with Yuichi for our first full day to get settled into navigating the subway, train and bus system. We have varying interests and Yuichi made a point to connect with each of us to get to know us a bit and share stories about his beautiful city that was of interest. He offered us a choice of itineraries and was flexible along the way to meet our needs. He helped us learn simple phrases and local customs. Our time with Yuichi was incredibly memorable and allowed us to relax and enjoy being shown around Tokyo. No arguing over the map & google directions, although we had plenty of that later in our trip, but that’s another story. Yuichi is an awesome guide. Thoughtful & kind, excellent navigator & storyteller.

We had an extraordinary day in Tokyo thanks to Yuichi. He prepared the perfect itinerary based on the wishes of my family. He was very personable, funny, and extremely knoledgeable on subjects ranging from the best tuna at the market, to Japanese history and Tokyo religious sites. He brought us to some "off the beaten path" places such as a small Japanese garden that was beautiful and peaceful. Nice touches included him bringing hand santizer for use at the market and he waited online for us at the busy tuna stall allowng us extra time to explore. Highly recommended.
