About Tour Guide Yasuko Y.
Welcome to Shizuoka in the central area of Japan.
I was born in Hakone, Kanagawa Pref. and grew up in Izu Peninsula, also studied English at Kanagawa University in Yokohama.
After graduation, I have traveled to a lot of countries such as Europe, U, S., Asia and lived in Australia for a year. I had a great time to visit there to have a wonderful experience.
So I decided to become a licensed tour guide for introducing Japan to foreign tourists.
Now I live in Izu which is close to Mt.Fuji and Hakone.
I'm interested in Arts, Hot Springs, traditional places and of course delicious food.
I would like to introduce beautiful Izu which has lots of Geopark sites and traditional Hot spring resort "Shuzenji, Nagaoka, and so on.
Please Enjoy this area together!!
Bienvenidos

“Half day tour with local guide. ”
We loved the variety of experiences the day with Yasuko offered. We particularly enjoyed the green tea plantation. Amico, our host was so inviting and could not have been friendlier and more helpful. Our guide was very organised and made our day simple but interesting and gave us a good local Japanese experience.
Yasuko Y.
Thank you so much for the excellent review you wrote. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting the green tea plantation. Yes, Emiko was so kind and helpful. It was an unplanned visit because of the Mt.Fuji World Heritage Center's irregular inspection closing day. We could see a magnificent Mt.Fuji.

“Interesting and unique.”
Did a customized tour based on my request. 1. Picking mandarin orange at a farm - quite unique and interesting experience 2. Making wasabizuke - interesting experience but I was disappointed at not being able to pick the wasabi as it wasn't in season. 3. Lunch - Great recommendation 4. Mt Fuji viewing - this was a blank card before the tour. It wasn't plan before the tour and will play according to the time and location. Really showcase her experience and knowledge of the area to be able to recommend what to do after we are done with lunch on the spot.
Yasuko Y.
Thank you for an excellent review. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed very much for each experience. It was a good season for picking mandarine oranges. Also, you were so lucky to see a view of Mt.Fuji at Darumayama observation. I appreciate your driving a car smoothly.
“An unforgettable Day at Mt Fuji”
Yasuko picked us up at the port. We then visited the Shirato waterfalls. Afterwards we went to the Mt Fuji Heritage Center and had a great lunch. We never lost sight of Mt Fuji. Yasuko had organized everything very well and gave us a lot of information. We would definitely recommend to book a trip with her.
Yasuko Y.
Thank you for your good review of my tour. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it very much. You were very lucky to see a view of Mt.Fuji a lot and had a chance to visit Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine with an autumn festival. I appreciate being able to learn German and your cooperation, too.
