Hello, potential tourists!
I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license.
I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015.
Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan.
It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well.
However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan,
without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities.
Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan !
Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now!
Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ?
Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city.
See you in Yokohama, Japan!

“Perfect day in Kamakura”
Yuko was very organized, took care of everything, and provided very useful information. In addition to that she was flexible and amended the programme during the tour by adding a visit to Enoshima because we asked for it. Really great tour.
Yuko O.
Dear Joachim, Thank you very much for a perfect review, which is really appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you liked Kamakura, and I also enjoyed it because of "WITH you", wonderful father & son. I was very impressed by your active walking, especially to hear that you climbed to the top of Enoshima without using "escar" quickly, and patience in the crowded train like a sardine. You are super-active, as well as ultra-smart ! If you have another chance to come to this area, please include Yokohama, my city. If I have a chance, I'd love to go to your country ! Have a nice trip to Kyoto, and see you in the future again !

Dear Jodi Thank you very much for your good review! You are really wonderful family, and I appreciate the chance of meeting you this time ! If you have another chance to visit our districts again, please count Yokohama, Kamakura, and Hakone as candidates. I'm looking forward to seeing you and your great family in the future again ! Have a nice trip in Japan !, and Good luck for all of you ! Yuko

“Love Yuko!!”
Four of us spent the day with Yuko and every moment was enlightening and fun. She goes above and beyond to look after her guests. She delivered a personal note to us the day before to our hotel room. She came a long distance out of her way (from Yokohama) to get us in the morning, was here and ready vary early, and had tremendous energy and enthusiasm about the places we visited. She took pictures of us everywhere and promised to send us the link to access them. She gave us a souvenir of the day with her. She had wonderful visual aids prepared to explain this legacy and history of the many spots we visited. We insisted on her return home and return to Tokyo which was way out of her way and she didn’t wanted to leave us alone. We highly recommend Yuko to anyone interested in visiting KAMAKURA. Great guide. Great location selection. Great advance communication ahead of the day so she could be prepared and provide us options. Great person. …and in a side alley we could have never found on our own, she got us to the best Ramen restaurant in the region, which was fantastic. Thanks Yuko!!

You are all nice, intelligent, kind, handsome or beautiful, the most wonderful 2 couples in the world ! I am glad that all you liked Kamakura as well as Japan. Please continue to enjoy your trip throughout Japan. Next time you have the chance to come to Japan, please include my hometown, Yokohama, as one of the places you will visit! I look forward to seeing you again. I will send you some pictures by e-mail soon! I appreciate the opportunity to meet you all. Thank you so much. Yuko
