Hello! I'm Toshinori, your friendly and trustworthy host to Tokyo's wonderful mosaic of cultures and eras. I'm endlessly fascinated by this city's unique blend of the old and the new, the Eastern and Western influences, and its dynamic yet peaceful atmosphere. As a food enthusiast, my heart belongs to Tokyo's culinary scene. From the steamy bowls of ramen to the delicate slices of sushi and the smoky aroma of yakitori, I'm always ready to share my favorite spots. Walking around Tokyo is like a journey through time, and I'm eager to immerse you in its history, culture, and traditions. I'm particularly passionate about the less-traveled shrines and temples, as well as the serene gardens and parks hidden amidst the urban sprawl. These are the places where Tokyo's soul truly shines. Join me for a friendly exploration of Tokyo, where every corner has a story, and every meal is a celebration of tradition and modernity!

Kind and extremely helpful guide. Despite rainy weather and luggage issues, the guide did his very best to show me glimpses of the city.

Toshi was the perfect guide - he knew the area and had history/background on the temples that we revisited and made our very short period of time stress free. He made the day seamless, he was a great conversationalists, flexible to our needs and graciously answered our kid's questions. I'd recommend Toshi to those traveling in any situation - couples, family, friends, etc.

A friend and I had a wonderful, informative dinner tour with Toshi. He took us to 3 different places for the type of tastings we had been interested in as well as past areas we may not have discovered. He was fun and very delightful.
