About Tour Guide Yuki K.
I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015.
Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them deeper than just visiting there by yourself or a member of big group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

“Outstanding Private Tour Experience”
We had a fantastic experience with our private tour guide Yuki. From the start, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The tour felt fully personalized and never rushed. Our guide tailored the day to our family’s interests and shared great insights into the history, culture, and local areas, making everything more engaging. Logistics were seamless throughout. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and made getting around the city effortless. We also appreciated his restaurant and local recommendations that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Most importantly, we really enjoyed spending the day with him. And he made us feel comfortable and welcome, and it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a formal tour. We highly recommend Yuki for anyone looking for a private, personalized experience, and would happily book again.

Dear Mehul, Thank you for your review. On the first day, we visited the most popular places in Tokyo: Shibuya Sky Observatory, Meiji Shrine, and Imperial Palace East Gardens. It was so sunny that the observatory was closed during our visit. On the second day, I took your family to Hakone, but the ropeway was suspended due to lightning. I felt very sorry about these weather conditions, so we attended the fire ceremony at a temple in Tokyo on the third day to get rid of your bad luck. I hope you made it. Thank you for taking my tours!

“Perfect day in Kamakura!”
My son and I had a perfect day tour of Kamakura with Yuki. Prompt communications, informative, and a favorite lunch sushi spot -- in addition to the amazing Great Buddha and temples. Thanks Yuki for the fantastic tour and great conversation. Highly recommend.
Yuki K.
Dear Matt, Thank you for your good review of my tour. Kamakura is the most favorite place to visit. I was glad when your son tried Aji and Kuromutsu for sushi he'd never eaten. Thank you for taking my tour!

“Yuki is a good man”
If you’re planning on seeing Kyoto, do it with Yuki. He’s one of the sweetest people we met on our trip, and he knows his stuff. He’ll take good care of you and will make the trip worth your while.
Yuki K.
Dear Shane, Thank you for your review. We visited Fushimi Shrine, Arashiyama, Tenryu Ji Temple, Bamboo forest, Okochi Garden and Golden Temple. We had a good lunch with reasonable price at a fancy restaurant in Arashiyama. Everything went well and we returned Tokyo one hour earlier than the plan. Please give my best regards to your Dad.

Private Day Tour to Hakone – Scenic Highlights & Mt. Fuji Views (Weather Permitting)
This tour is arranged based on my experience, more than 100 times. If we can expect the view of Mt. Fuji by a live camera, I will take you to the best places for viewing it as early as possible. Where you can enjoy the view without having to wait long. If not, I will take you to other popular places you can enjoy without the view, expecting the view at a later part of the tour. Hakone is famous for hot spring baths; you can try a public or private one if you want by extending the tour time.
