“Two days in search of Hachiko and unique Temples”

My first visit to Japan in 2023, Yukiko-san worked with us before our arrival to blend what I wanted to see most with some of her recommendations(see my 2023review). She was well versed on Japanese culture and history, had handouts, ipad presentations, and even inquired about food allergies. My wife and I had a great time. In 2024 I returned to Japan and fortunately for me Yukiko had time in her schedule for two days of exploring Tokyo. Together we created a “Hachiko Tour” that covered the major Hachiko related sites around Tokyo. Also visited temples that I had missed the previous year. When a very rainy day intervened, she modified the day’s tour so that we explored new buildings like the Shibuya Hikarie and Scramble hirise malls until the storm cleared. I had also expressed an interest in learning how to use the train system in Tokyo, and she helped me to learn the basics and then tested my comprehension by having me meet her at one of the sites far away from my hotel. It worked, I did not get lost. Yukiko was always careful to make sure that the walking distances were not too long for my arthritic knees, and at the train station located elevators or escalators to avoid those long steep stairs. She selected places to eat based on my desire to sample real Japanese food that would not affect my food allergy. At the beginning of the tour, she presents you with her own booklet that summarizes the tour and has a copy of that very complicated looking map of the train system. I realize that my review of Yukiko’s tours seems a bit exaggerated, but after two wonderful tours, I can attest that she is worthy of such praise. I felt that I was being guided by a family member who wanted to create a great experience, rather than a hired tour guide. Thank you Yukiko-san for memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review of my tour! I can't find words to express my gratitude. I was very pleased to meet you again in Tokyo and had a great time for 2 days. Our tour is one and only that will last in my memory for so long. Thank you once again, Ron-san Domo Arigatou!!

“Tokyo through the scree ”

I managed to feel the city thought the screen and being in another part of the world. From one area in Tokyo l managed to feel the diversity of the city. And within one hour I found out about the main cultural peculiarities. The tour was well planned and interactive (despite being virtual). Thank you Yukiko. It was a pleasure.

Thank you so much for joining virtual tour in Tokyo! Through interactive communication, I didn't feel a distance between us and enjoyed it as if we were talking next each other. I hope we will meet in person in the future. Domo Arigatou!

“We enjoyed two extraordinary tours with Yukiko!”

Yukiko is an exceptional tour guide! She is knowledgeable, kind, caring, extremely flexible, and truly responsive. She seamlessly navigates both Tokyo and Kamakura. The cultural sites and experiences, as well as the restaurants, are extraordinary. In addition, she meets the specific wishes and needs of all family members, including offering pre-planned breaks for seniors and pre-planned cultural activities for young children. She also takes amazing photos. Overall, if you want to learn, laugh, play, eat, and leave the tour having grown in knowledge and understanding of Japan - then we highly recommend Yukiko. She is an absolute delight and we look forward to returning to Japan, and enjoying tours to Yokohama and Hakone with Yukiko. Thank you, Yukiko!
