About Tour Guide Yoko T.
Hi, I'm Yoko, a National License Tour Guide＆International Kikisake-shi.
I speak with an American accent, 'cause I lived in Seattle, Washington for six years in my childhood(3-9 years old). My tours might be better with people who LOVE TO WALK, have STAMINA and keen to learn about the culture.
Now I live within a walking distance from Ueno Park, Tokyo, so I see a lot of International tourists walking around in my neighborhood every day.
(PLEASE CHECK EACH TOUR. The expenses are spelled out, too.)
"Tokyo is larger than we thought and the transportations are so complicated," Swedish guys told me. I'm here to help you. I know well about Tokyo, Yokohama, Yamanashi etc. and I travel most of the parts of Japan.
I would appreciate if you could see more sightseeing spots with me as your guide and enjoy your stay.
I love to answer your questions, even though I became nearly breathless when I was with American guests, a family of three, curiously asking me questions after questions:-)
I appreciated their interest in Japan very much.
I also go mountain trekking for nearly thirty years. I've been to the summit of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Kitadake three times. Talking about Mt. Takao, maybe more than fifty times.
I hope we can enjoy the beautiful view together.
I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and having a good time together.
Hope to hearing from you soon.

“Great first day with Yoko in Tokyo”
We had a fantastic first day in Tokyo with Yoko! She picked us up directly from our hotel and shared so much valuable insight about both Tokyo and Japan, which was perfect for our first full day in the country. We walked over 15 km and covered a lot of ground, taking in a wide range of sights. Yoko also took us to a wonderful, authentic lunch spot and made sure every detail of the day was thoughtfully planned. Highly recommended!

I appreciate your wonderful review, Merel san. I had a great time with both of you who were so intelligent, amazing lovely couple. Starting with the Kawazu-zakura welcoming you next to the National Stadium, we could see some wedding couples at Meiji Jingu Shrine, beautiful cherry blossoms at East Gardens, Asakusa and Ueno Park. It was really nice meeting you. I love the conversations we could have together. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you again, Yoko

“A whole day walking tour of Tokyo”
Yoko T. Was an an excellent guide and we will highly recommend her. Even before we got to Tokyo, she was communicating with us and very graciously answering all of our questions and giving us hints and advices regarding hotels, restaurants, etc…. The day of the tour, she was punctual and super well mannered and very easy to be with. She would adjust to our needs and wishes as well as providing a ton of historical and interesting information about all the places we were visiting. And to top it all, even after the day of the tour, she kept sending messages with more recommendations and tips. Thank you Yoko, you played a great part in making us enjoy our stay in Tokyo.

Thank you so much for such a gracious review, Fadia san. I really appreciate your niece Sarah san introduced me to you. You, Chloe and your son were all so polite and amazing. I really enjoy spending the time together on March 12. I will be dreaming of guiding you to the Mount Fuji area when you come back to ski in Japan. Thank you again for a memorable day, Yoko

Tokyo Up-to-You Tour
I recommend ending up the day with the night view of the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay, the most beautiful night view in Tokyo I would like you to see. We will visit the spots you would like to in Tokyo.I will make an itinerary based on your choices and requests. (The popular highlights will be Meiji Jingu Shrine, East Gardens and Asakusa with Nakamise Souvenir Shopping Streets.) Sightseeing spots in Tokyo is widely spread, so I guess we can only visit three or four spots a day.
Mt. Fuji's View from Lake Kawaguchiko Up-to-You Tour starting from Shinjuku
Mt. Fuji isn't always visible, especially when it's hazy. Please choose the spots in the highlights you would like to visit around Kawaguchiko/ Mt. Fuji, based on your interest/preferences, your physical condition and the weather. It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.
Early Risers' Nikko Up-to-You Tour by Tobu Limited Express
Nikko, which has been acknowledged as World Heritage in 1999, has temples and shrines with awesome sculptures.We will ride a Tobu Limited Express train for approximately two hours from the west side of Tokyo area/Saitama to visit there and take time to appreciate them.You can enjoy Yuba (tofu skin), which is one of the local specialities, buckwheat noodles or curry and rice etc. as lunch.
Edo Tokyo Tour: East Gardens & Ueno Park or Asakusa
East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is one of the Must-See spots in Tokyo, I believe. The gardens are quite beautiful and there was the castle of the Capital approximately four hundred years ago and now around there is the business center of Japan. After visiting the East Gardens, we will visit Ueno Park, which also has some historical buildings. Or you can choose Asakusa, one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo instead.
Other Popular Highlights Tours in Hakone
One-Day Hakone Nature and History Expedition (Owakudani, Boat Cruise on Lake Ashi, Hakone Sekisho)
Feel the atmosphere of Hakone volcano, and enjoy the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi! Owakudani and Lake Ashi were made by the volcanic activity of Mt. Hakone about 3,000 years ago. At Osakudani you can see the sulfur vapor blowing up and beautiful Mt. Fuji on sunny days. From a boat on Lake Ashi you can enjoy beautiful scenery every season. Hakone sekisho, which was built about 400 years ago, was a facility to investigate travelers. You can learn more about it in Hakone.
Best Memories of Hakone
Hakone is very popular place for one day trip from Tokyo. We will take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Odawara and a mountain train, a ropeway and cruise Lake Ashi by the Pirate ship to enjoy her various scenery. Hakone is famous for hot spring public baths, you can try one if you want. If the weather is fine, you can see the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji from several places. I've been to Hakone more than 100 times and can help you to make best memories.
Enjoy and experience magnificent views of the nature in Hakone!!!
Hakone is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists looking for its famous hot springs, natural beauty of surrounding mountains and magnificent views across the Lake Ashinoko. There are many places you can visit in Hakone, such as Gora Park, Owakudani Valley, Hakone Checkpoint and Hakone Shrine. I will take you to elaborate on the most famous places in Hakone in this one-day tour.
Hakone entdecken mit Yuki
Hakone ist nur ein Paradies der heißen Quellen und Natur. Besonders beeindruckend sind die atemberaubende Aussicht auf den Fuji vom Ashi-See sowie die imposante vulkanische Landschaft des Ōwakudani. Selbst wenn Sie keine heißen Quellen mögen, können Sie diese in Fußbad-Cafés mit Fußbädern ganz entspannt genießen. Eine perfekte Kombination aus Sightseeing und Entspannung! Hakone ist eine Stadt, die man mit Romance Car (Zug) in 75 Minuten von Shinjuku (Tokio) aus erreichen kann.
