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.

“Lovely Day in Tokyo”
My husband and I did the 6 hour tour our first day after arriving in Tokyo and it was a great start to our trip. We chose to have Yukiko take us to the Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Gardens and the Senso-ji Temple. She took us on the subway and showed us a few shortcuts to navigate our way around. She gave us background and history for the sites we visited and answered all our questions. We had lunch together and enjoyed learning about her life in Tokyo and about her family. We highly recommend Yukiko!

Dear Susan and Paul, Thank you for a nice review! You were so interested in and the best listeners of my explanation of brief Japanese history. It was a great pleasure for me that we had empathy when I introduced the poem by Emperor Meiji on world peace. You were so kind, followed me very well and asked me a lot of keen questions I know that you are a nice couple and have a good family. I enjoyed being with you very much. Yukiko

“Excellent guide in Tokyo”
Yukiko took us to the park where we got our first real cherry blossom experience! She also took us to a very nice lunch restaurant, got us to visit a secluded shrine that almost nobody knew about, and told us about Tokyo and Japan history along the way. All in all a very original non-touristy visit to Tokyo with an excellent guide! From Jan and Korina
Yukiko K.
Dear Jan and Korina, Thank you for the nice review! You were so kind and very good listeners to my explanation on Japanese history. You followed me energetically in the park and along the street, although it was a long way. You appreciated the beauty of cherry blossoms, Japanese garden and old architecture. It was a great pleasure that you liked my plan. Thank you for your kindness and I will never forget you! Yukiko

“Beautiful day in Kamakura”
This was a great tour! Yukiko is very knowledgeable about history and took great care and effort to explain everything we saw. We were lucky enough to see a clear day with amazing weather, and it was overall a beautiful trip. If you are looking for a kind and experienced guide, this tour is a lovely option.

Dear Amy, Thank you so much for your great review! You were the best listener to my explanation. It was a great pleasure for me to introduce Japan to such an excellent student like you through this trip to Kamakura, a historical city surrounded by nature. I also enjoyed talking with you while walking on the present world as you have a keen point of view. Thank you again for understanding me. I think we were a good team. Yukiko

Highlights of Kamakura
Kamakura was the first capital of Samurai government in Japan. It is not only a historical city with about 100 shrines and temples but also a city with beautiful nature surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing the sea to the south. It has a brave culture based on Zen Buddhism. If you are interested in Japanese history and culture and you like nature, this trip will satisfy you.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
