About Tour Guide Yoko I.
Hello, I'm Yoko. I was born and brought up in Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture (80 km north from Tokyo) and I've lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years.
I love traveling, both overseas and inside Japan. After I visited other countries and saw many local cultures there, I realized that Japan has a variety of unique cultures with a lot of tourist attractions.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Tokyo and Imperial Palace area with Yoko”
My husband and I enjoyed a cold, but pleasant day with Yoko as our guide. Yoko is delightful and an informative guide. We had planned to take the harbor water bus but it was a cold February day. Instead we had lunch near the palace area and saw more of the town by taxi before returning to the Cruise Port.

“Customized tour with Yoko-San”
Sorry for the late entry, but my aunt Maggie and I had a wonderful time with Yoko-san guiding us through Senso-ji and Asakusa area. Then we had a very lovely lunch at Mochizuki, over at the Asahi Group Headquarter Building. From the restaurant we had a view of the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree. Afterwards, Yoko-san got us to where we needed to be next, on the way we were able to see cherry blossoms which was great! So happy to connect with Yoko-san again for a tour, it was perfect for my aunt’s very first visit to Tokyo (too bad the weather wasn’t ideal). Thank you so much for everything, hope to see you again next time.

Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a lovely review and the photo, Elaine-san! Unfortunately we had rain on the day and it was not a perfect day to enjoy viewing cherry blossoms, I was glad that we enjoyed beautiful cherry blossoms. I had a lovely time with you and Maggie-san. Talking with both of you was interesting. I admire you because you're such a sweet niece. Thank you so much for having me as your guide again. I'm grateful for your kindness and thoughtfulness. I hope I could see you again when you come to Tokyo. Please take care!
