Japan

Yuki K.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them deeper than just visiting there by yourself or a member of big group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

Akira was a wonderful guide, and we truly appreciate him accepting our business interpretation request. Even though it was his first time providing this kind of service, he did an amazing job and supported us very well throughout the day. Everything went smoothly, and it’s clear that he put in genuine effort to make sure the experience was productive and enjoyable. We’re especially grateful for his thoughtfulness, including helping plan the day and even recommending a great restaurant to end it. Thank you again, Akira, for your dedication and professionalism.

“Mostly Excellent ”

Overall Tetsuji san was an excellent guide. He showed up punctually and was very knowledgeable of the area. He was able to answer our questions and showed us around in a very efficient manner. We went to the observatory, 2 different gassho houses, shrine, and the river. We also enjoyed the restaurant he reserved for lunch. His English was not native level, but more than competent for 4 Americans. We didn't have any issues communicating. He was also very personable. The only drawback was that he wanted to take us to a cafe, but it was too busy so we skipped it. This led to the tour ending about an hour early. This caused half the group to walk around some more by themselves for about 45 mins, while the other half waited at the bus stop.
