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!

“Great day with Yoko”
It was very nice to have someone with you that spoke the language. We were able to do things that we never would've done ourselves, including the bus and the subway system. Very nice tour! Yoko was extremely helpful and did everything we asked!

Thank you so much for posting such a wonderful review, Mary! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed our tour in Tokyo. I had a wonderful time with all of you – Strolling around Shibuya, Asakusa, and helping you buy gifts for your grandchildren were interesting and fun for me. All of you were nice, so I felt as if I were your little sister. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. Please take care and have a lovely journey!

“Great way to navigate around Tokyo”
We spent two full days with Yoko, with customized itinerary based on our established desires. We were happy that we did everything as planned. We appreciated Yoko’s patience when we needed to shop in a grocery store, or other shops. We never felt hurried. We learned things we wouldn’t have on our own. And certainly felt comfortable with taxi and Uber rides to various parts of Tokyo.

Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a wonderful review, Alice! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed our tours. The weather forecast said a typhoon might come to Tokyo, so I was worried that it might trouble us – but we didn’t have much rain on the first day, the sky was clear and blue on the second day, which I thought was amazing. We went to some highlights of Tokyo such as Meiji Jingu shrine, Senso-ji temple, Imperial Palace east gardens, and the places you’re interested in. I had a lovely time with both of you there. I’ll never forget the fantastic view from Tokyo City View in Roppongi Hills. Talking with you and listening to your stories were fun and interesting. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. I hope you have a lovely journey in Japan. Please take care.

“Yoko is EXCELLENT! Our time with her was priceless. ”
Yoko is an excellent, caring and joyful guide. We just LOVED her! As this was our first and most likely our only trip to beautiful Japan we wanted to make it count. Yoko worked with me through the GWG messaging platform to create perfect and VERY personalized itineraries for our time in Tokyo. We spent two full days and one evening with Yoko that included a day trip to Kamakura and a ½ day trip to Shibamaba. We saw everything we wanted to see and so much more. She was so sweet, interesting and informative. She assisted with all of our transportation needs (trains, buses, taxi’s) and even helped me purchase our Shinkansen tickets to Kyoto (our next destination). Loved all the restaurants she took us to and we even returned to one when we were on our own. All aspects of logistics to move around the sights we wanted to visit were incredibly efficient. We are seniors (60s/70s) of average fitness and can walk for several miles each day but must be mindful of steep steps without handrails and significantly uneven surfaces. Yoko was always sensitive to our comfort and needs. She looked after us like a fierce mamma bear! Because of Yoko, our time in Tokyo was perfect and 100% stress and worry free. It was hard to say goodbye… Thank you Yoko! Tracey & Pete

Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a fabulous review, Tracey and Pete! I had a lovely time with both of you. Actually Shibamata was not a familiar destination for me and unfortunately most of the shops were closed just after the Golden Week in Japan, so I wondered if you enjoyed your time there, but I’m glad to see your wonderful review on our tours. I also enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere of Shibamata with you. I’m so glad that you are interested in such a charming area of Tokyo. I learned a lot from touring with you. Thank you so much for giving me such a great opportunity! Actually I’m surprised to hear that you returned to one of the restaurants during your stay. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed your time in Tokyo. I think we had a similarity in some parts, so talking with you and touring with you were fun and interesting. I hope you had a lovely stay in Kyoto and have a lovely journey in Japan. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. I’m grateful for your thoughtfulness. Thank you again and please take care!
