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!

“Excellent tour with Yoko”
Yoko gave us a good feel of Japan touring a shrine and temple. She was very knowledgeable. She also set up a lunch for us with our Japanese friend at the Kuru restaurant. We had a several course meal giving us a good flavor of Japenese food We also got to experience a train and subway ride in the very busy Tokyo Would highly recommend Yoko as a tour guide

Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a fabulous review, Betty! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour in Tokyo. I’m so glad that you had a lovely time with your Japanese friend at the restaurant in Asakusa. It was one of the busiest days (because of consecutive holidays in autumn), so I think you were surprised to see so many people there (I also, actually). Touring with you at a beautiful day was fun and interesting to me. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. Please take care.

“Organized and educational ”
This review is for the first of full days we spent with Yoko. We were happy we did everything on our customized pre-planned itinerary. We were comfortable with the pace and the whole experience. She was always eager and accommodating with us stopping and taking pictures or her offering to take pictures of us.

Thank you so much for posting another wonderful review, Alice! I really appreciate it. I’m glad to hear that you were comfortable with the whole experience. We had a slight rain on the first day, but I was glad that I could take you to the place you’d like to go and you got a beautiful souvenir. It was really nice meeting both of you. Thank you so much for having me as your guide.

“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!

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!
