Hi, I’m Toshi
I’ve lived in Nagoya for 64 years

I am a owner of a company.
Hi, I’m Toshihito, and Nagoya is my playground! Born and raised here, I love the city's perfect balance—big enough for excitement but not as crowded as Tokyo or Osaka. You’ll often find me exploring Showa retro bars and restaurants, indulging in Nagoya’s soul food, or hiking the city’s highest mountain. I’m also a big fan of Nagoya Castle and know all the hidden gems, from Ghibli Park in Nagakute to Inuyama Castle’s old town. Whether it’s the best retro spots or the quiet rural corners, I’ve got Nagoya covered!

Having Yoshi san for a walk around of the city was a great decision! He talked about many of the little snippets of info from a locals' perspective. Thank you!!

Tour guide was punctual. Went to the Nagoya castle and the shrine and finished off the last stop at Osu shopping district. Weather was good and we went around via the subway.
