We did a personalized tour with Yu san and Ikumi san and it was amazing! They were super helpful in the planning process, tailoring our tour to the experiences we wanted, and went above and beyond in all aspects including recommendations for after the tour, taking great pictures, and sharing info about Japanese culture. It was a great start to our trip and I cannot recommend it enough!
Best day with Yu San and Ikumi San.
Published on May, 2025
When we parted after spending the day with Yu san and Ikumi san we felt like were saying goodbye to family. This was the best thing we could have scheduled in Japan. We did a few local things and saw Ueno and Asakusa. It was perfect being with a private tour so we could stop and ask questions and not feel like we were holding anyone else up. I highly recommend this if you are planning a trip to Japan.
Wonderful personalized tour.

Kota was such a great guide. He personalized our tour of Japan perfectly. We didn’t really know where to visit, and just told him some things we liked. Everyplace we went to was delightful. So many small family run shops mixed in with busy popular areas. We would have never discovered these places on our own. Like a family run katsu shop, a knife shop that will stamp your name into a knife, and a small local snack shop neighborhood kids frequent. I really feel like my family got a special experience in Japan.
Wonderful time seeing Tokyo with Yu san
Published on Apr, 2025
We had a great time with our tour guide Yu san. She was knowledgeable and fun. She was wonderful with accommodating my mom's need, guiding us to elevators when available as much as possible to avoid climbing stairs. Yu san allowed us to enjoy touring Tokyo without any stress. If I need a guide for Tokyo again, I would definitely use Howzit again and especially ask for Yu san.
The best tour in Tokyo starts here!

Had an absolutely wonderful time with Yu! It couldn’t have worked out better, really enjoyed spending time with another single female my age and stage in life that was local and able to show me not only the iconic landmarks but also more unique paths less traveled. Yu was very attentive to me, chill, so easy to talk to and a real joy to explore With. Didn’t feel stiff or awkward, genuinely felt like we were two besties just hanging out in Japan. I did my research and followed these guys on YouTube/instagram for months and knew it was a safe bet. Definitely tour with them, there will be nothing to regret
