how to pronounce it in japanese?

I would be grateful if you would let me know the name of the writer 芥川龍之介 (Hanji) in Japanese so that I could pronounce it.
I don't speak Japanese, but if I know that 吉野 (again, it is Hanji, not Chinese) is Yoshino, I would have no problem asking for directions to get there when travelling in Japan.
Another example to illustrate what I am asking is the name of the famous director 黑澤明. It would be 'Akira Kurosawa' in Japanese.

芥川龍之介 is read as Akutagawa Ryuunosuke. Akutagawa(芥川) is the family name, and Ryuunosuke(龍之介) is the given name.
Be careful that Akira Kurosawa is called Kurosawa(黒沢) Akira(明) in Japan. The family name comes first.
