Located in the center of the main island of Japan, Gunma has been a place where travelers from various parts of Japan, like Tokyo, Niigata, and Nagano, come and go.

Drawing from my experience as a local tour guide and knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and traditions, I offer you a seamless and immersive journey.

I'm Yukiko. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am 3T lover- Travel, Tea ceremony and Traditional and modern arts. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children. I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide. My main tour area are Tokyo, Kamakura, Yokohama, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Gunma and Nikko. It's a private personalized tour so that I'd be happy to discuss about it with you in advance to make your tour pleasant. We can include Japanese cultural experiences if you'd like. I also have done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. I took the plunge, it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills. I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. I've experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed. I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

“A fantastic tour with hidden gems”
I initially booked this tour because I’m a huge Initial D fan, but I ended up getting so much more out of it than I expected. Rieko was very knowledgeable about the specific sites we visited! One of the highlights was when we went to a restaurant that served the best soba I’ve had in Japan! However, the biggest surprise of the day was Haruna Shrine. It was an on-and-off rainy day, and somehow, that just made the place even more stunning. The misty atmosphere, combined with the natural beauty, created such a peaceful setting. If you’re considering a tour in the Gunma area, I can’t recommend Rieko enough. She’s the perfect guide for both Initial D fans and anyone interested in the cultural gems of the region. Whether you’re visiting for anime-related spots or just looking to explore, this tour is definitely worth it!
Rieko S.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed not only the Initial D spots but also Haruna Shrine and the soba restaurant. This summer was extremely hot in Japan, and I was worried about the weather. On the day of our tour, it turned out to be drizzly. It was not perfect, but the light rain created a mysterious and beautiful atmosphere, which I think made the experience special. I also enjoyed our conversations, and thank you for sharing stories about countries I have yet to discover. It was such a pleasure to be part of your journey.

“Amazing service! So impressed. ”
Mr. Zhang was amazing! He was flexible and friendly. He made it so easy for us to get to where we needed to go. He stopped to get us snacks and got me to the Moss park on the way to Kusatsu. He and the company went out of their way to find where I could store luggage to walk the nakesendo trail. Amazing service. I will use them again in a heartbeat.
