About Tour Guide Yukiko K.
My name is Yukiko . I have a national license for a tour guide in English. I live in Tokyo on weekdays and go back to my house in Kamakura on weekend. I like both cities.
Tokyo is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Kamakura is a traditional city with history and nature. I like communicating with people.
My family and I had homestay students from all over the world and my children call me "mother of the world." I like learning foreign languages. I speak a little German and I learned a little Italian last year. I also have a license for teaching Japanese to foreigners as a second language. It would be a great pleasure for me to make your trip to Japan more valuable and impressive through my explanation of Japanese culture and history,
I am looking forward to seeing you.

“A wonderful customized tour of Tokyo with a great guide. ”
We had a wonderful time touring Tokyo with Yukiko. We selected two of the three tour locations and left the third to Yukiko’s choice and we are glad we did. She selected a very pretty garden with several historical teahouses. Nearby was a great restaurant with a panoramic rooftop view where we had a delicious Japanese lunch. Yukiko was very well prepared and knowledgeable teaching us a little about Japanese history and culture as we went along during the day. Finally, Yukiko was a lovely, caring person to spend a day with. Her gentle and kind approach, tailoring the tour for our desires, made for a memorable day.
Yukiko K.
Dear Paul and Anne, thank you for your wonderful review! You were such good listeners of my story, so generous and kind that I really felt comfortable being with. You seemed to enjoy and appreciate every moment in the tour which made me so happy. Anne was a good photographer and sent me the pictures during the tour. They are precious records and treasure for me. They tell me how I do my job, how much I like it, and above all how happy I was doing a tour with smart and handsome Paul and intelligent and lovely Annie. I wanted to explain more about Japan. Making a plan by yourself also gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Have a nice trip! I will never forget you. Yukiko
