About Tour Guide Yukiko F.
I'm Yukiko. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job.
I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am 3T lover- Travel, Tea ceremony and Traditional and modern arts. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children.
I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide.
My main tour area are Tokyo, Kamakura, Yokohama, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Gunma and Nikko. It's a private personalized tour so that I'd be happy to discuss about it with you in advance to make your tour pleasant. We can include Japanese cultural experiences if you'd like.
I also have done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. I took the plunge, it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills.
I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. I've experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed.
I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime.

“Best Guide Ever!”
Somehow, I was able to find Yukiko and saw a great review about her services as a guide, and that if we wanted to book her services, you needed to book early since she is in high demand. I was able to contact Yukiko and reserve our time. She is an excellent communicator and as our time for our trip grew closer, she asked what we wanted to see and do. We opted to go for more historical Japan, as opposed to tourist Japan. Yukiko outlined a suggested itinerary that covered multiple sights and areas everyday we would be touring with her. Her suggestions were spot on and our time with her was not only educational, but she has an ability to fit in with the group very easily and made it very fun! Yukiko was also very helpful in educating us on navigating the trains, buses, money, etc. She also helped us buy tickets to get to our next city on the Shinkansen line. Her suggestions for meals was excellent and started our quest for the next great meal. Yukiko went the extra mile, and on day two wore a traditional kimono. For each of the sights we went to, she had prepared a slide show on her tablet that explained the history, and details of each site. That extra touch really helped us to understand not only the cultural aspect, but gave us visual insight into why or how things were done. Her level of preparation for each tour/sight is impressive and shows her dedication to be the best at what she is doing. I highly recommend Yukiko as a tour guide, and recommend that you follow her suggestions on sights and areas of Tokyo to see. At the end of our time with Yukiko, everyone in my family felt like she was a actual member of the family and had made a connection with everyone on an individual basis. Unfortunately, there is only so many characters available to leave my review - otherwise, I would go into more detail on each area we went to and what she did at each sight. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me.

Best recommended tour for the first-time visitor to Tokyo. Tokyo is a unique city with various traditional and contemporary attractions. Let’s create your personalized time in Tokyo by discussing the places you want to visit. You should plan a tour of different sites, such as Kamakura and Hakone, along with my other plan. I am based in Tokyo, but I would happily arrange your tour.
