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!!

“Five stars Guide”
Yuki was absolutely excellent. He was always incredibly helpful, kind, and flexible, adapting the plans to our preferences and pace throughout the trip. He organized our days very efficiently, allowing us to make the most of our time in the city without stress or unnecessary wasted time. In addition to having great knowledge of Tokyo, he gave us many useful suggestions during the day, explained aspects of Japanese culture, and helped us discover places we probably would not have found on our own. Communication was always easy and quick, even before the trip. It was a very well-organized experience that made our stay even more special. We highly recommend him without hesitation.

Dear Teresa, Thank you for your review. You took three tours of mine in Tokyo and to Hakone. I tried my best to show you Mt. Fuji from Hakone but she has been hidden like the Buddha in Asakusa except the trace of her bottom. I took my favorite restaurants for our lunch and it's an important part of my tours. Please enjoy your visit to Kyoto, tomorrow. I hope my information is useful to appreciate the Shines and Temples in Kyoto. Thank you very much for taking my tours.

“Haneda Airport travel and train assist”
Yuki is very kind and helpful and patient. We had no idea what to expect as first time Japan visitors and Yuki made things so easy for us. He helped us getting money, train cards, and navigate the train station. He even took the 2 trains with us to our hotel. Everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend Yuki!
Yuki K.
Dear Harriet, Thank you for your review. It is my pleasure to help those who worried. Meeting someone at the airport for the time is not easy. I know a good place to meet and how to contact them upon arrival. It makes it easy.

“Fun half day with Yuki”
We had a great experience with Yuki on our half-day tour. He suggested locations that were close together and easy to walk to. We enjoyed the garden and Edo Museum, and asking him lots of questions about Tokyo history. Thank you for a great day!

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.
