Tour guide Mike is an absolute TREASURE TROVE of knowledge when it comes to travelling around Japan. A professional tour guide with over a decade of experience, he's now the owner of the Landmark and Legends tour company. Originally from Canada, he decided to stay in Japan as soon as he stepped off the plane, being struck by the country's many idyllic scenes.

We sat down in his Yokohama office to discuss his favourite travel spots, hidden Japanese tourist traps, the worst possible itinerary you can make, the do's and don'ts of behaviour while here, but also his life in Tokyo, as well as his undying love of exploring the Land of the rising sun.
