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

“Amazing, friendly, and so helpful”

I'm so grateful my family chose this guide. She was so thorough and helpful in planning a special family meeting. She was always responsive and informative. When the day came for the family event, she was friendly and helpful in translating, even taking notes as the family members chatted. I would recommend her to anyone, and I am so thankful we found her! She made our family event absolutely amazing.

It was a truly rewarding experience to help organize the reunion event for the Fujinami family. I’m so glad the surprise visit was such a success. It truly made me happy to see how delighted they were. Thank you very much.

“SHIMIZU TOUR”

Yasuko Y. arrived at the cruise terminal on time. Instead of a group of four, only two people went. Our Chilean friends took the tour of the Castle Park in Shimizu. Since Spanish is not her native language, fluency is not her strong suit; she struggles to express herself in Spanish. The main complaints from the couple who took the tour concerned the taxis cost, the wait time for the taxi to arrive, and the taste of the food served during lunch. They did not like the meal they were given and left their plates completely full.

Dear Javier, First of all, thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I apologize to the couple for not being fluent enough in Spanish during the tour and for not being able to provide a thorough explanation. I also believe I may not have explained the taxi fare and waiting time clearly enough. I’m sorry that the light meal I recommended—instead of a full lunch—didn’t suit their taste. I will take this into consideration for future tours. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both of them for participating. Finally, I think the highlights were seeing Mount Fuji and that they were able to enjoy the matcha and the Japanese garden.

“Excellent choice”

We came straight from our cruise, and she welcomed us with real warmth and energy, she shared great info, and kept the day engaging. What really stood out was how smoothly she guided us through transportation systems. We never felt lost or stressed. We stayed active, learned a ton, and felt truly cared for. She was an excellent guide. We highly recommend her!
