Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!

About Tour Guide Yuriko S.

I am Yuriko from Gifu Prefecture. I was an assistant English teacher at junior high school. I started to work as a National Certificate tour guide in 2019.

I'm very interested in kimono, tea ceremony and Japanese castles. I sometimes guide in kimono. There are so many nice places to visit in Gifu and Nagoya! I also guide around Takayama, Shirakawago, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Kanazawa if you pay my transportation fee from my hometown. Let's enjoy Japan with me!

Family tour 2025

Thank you Yuriko for setting up the fun funakudari! So beautiful to see the river by boat. You were a wonderful guide for our extended family of 8. I recommend everyone to see Ogaki by boat. The sushi was fantastic and you were a wonderful guide.

Dear Lori san, Thank you for your excellent review and wonderful comment!! I'm so happy to hear that all of your members enjoyed Ogaki Tour. I also had a wonderful half day with you and your nice family. Please come to Japan again. Yuriko

Fantastic half-day walking tour!

Lily has been a wonderful guide on our half-day tour of Takayama, explaining history, culture and interesting anecdotes at different places of attraction. She was always happy to answer our questions.She had the tour well-planned yet accommodated any deviations to the plan e.g when we wanted to take a detour. She also offered to take a lot of photos for us. At the end of the tour, she even gifted us a handmade good luck charm. Anyone would have a great time with her has a local guide. Thank you very much , Lily. ありがとうございましゅた!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and comments! I'm so happy to read your warmhearted comments. Actually, it was so snowy day and very cold, but you were always smiley and looked happy. Also you listened to me so carefully and sometimes asked me some questions. Your kind attitude made me happy. Thank you for a wonderful snowy day in Takayama with both of you. Please enjoy winter season in Japan and please come to Japan in different season again. I hope to see you again! ありがとう〜!

Kanazawa in 4 hours

Yuriko organized and conducted a wonderful tour of Kanazawa in just 4 hours. We visited Kanazawa Castle, Kenruku -en garden and the Higashi -chaya district, which was the traditional geisha district in the old times. All of these were extremely interesting and brought to life by the excellent English skills of Yuriko. There was a an issue with our railroad tickets that resulted from of neglect and she resolved this in an extremely efficient and polite manner. She was well organized, very polite and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure knowing her. We enthusiastically recommend Yuriko for anyone needing a guide in Japan.

I also had a nice day with you in Kanazawa and during train trip. Please come to Japan again, and please come to Gifu, my hometown next time!
