The other reviews are spot on! From the very beginning Yoshi-San was extremely easy to communicate with through email! His English spoken and written skills are amazing and it’s extremely easy to communicate with him! He studied in the US so he also has first hand experience with Americans, but you’re in Japan so behave and don’t embarrass him! Ha! Yoshi-San is extremely knowledgeable about Japanese history and current events! It was refreshing to hear his opinions about world issues and his perceptions. He is very open minded and easy to talk to. He catered our tour exactly to our liking and even changed it up to accommodate our last minute wishes. I would highly recommend Yoshi-San to any tourists wanting a private tour guide who is super friendly, in tune with other cultures, and has excellent English speaking skills! You will not be disappointed unless you’re impossible to please! And YES, tipping is recommended despite what you’ve been told. This is one of those cases where it’s ok. In Japan, it’s more polite to wrap the tip in a tissue or envelope to disguise the amount or the fact you’re handing him cash. So what you waiting for? Book Yoshi-San NOW!
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a warm and thoughtful review. I’m truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was also a pleasure for me to talk with you about Japanese history, culture, and many other topics. Our conversations were a memorable part of the day for me as well. I’m glad I was able to adjust the itinerary to accommodate your last-minute requests, and I hope it helped make your trip even more special. If you visit Japan again in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would be very happy to see you again. Thank you once again for choosing my tour. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you.
