Hi, I'm Yoko, a National License Tour Guide&International Kikisake-shi.
I speak with an American accent, 'cause I lived in Seattle, Washington for six years in my childhood(3-9 years old). My tours might be better with people who LOVE TO WALK, have STAMINA and keen to learn about the culture.
Now I live within a walking distance from Ueno Park, Tokyo, so I see a lot of International tourists walking around in my neighborhood every day.
(PLEASE CHECK EACH TOUR. The expenses are spelled out, too.)
"Tokyo is larger than we thought and the transportations are so complicated," Swedish guys told me. I'm here to help you. I know well about Tokyo, Yokohama, Yamanashi etc. and I travel most of the parts of Japan.
I would appreciate if you could see more sightseeing spots with me as your guide and enjoy your stay.
I love to answer your questions, even though I became nearly breathless when I was with American guests, a family of three, curiously asking me questions after questions:-)
I appreciated their interest in Japan very much.
I also go mountain trekking for nearly thirty years. I've been to the summit of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Kitadake three times. Talking about Mt. Takao, maybe more than fifty times.
I hope we can enjoy the beautiful view together.
I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and having a good time together.
Hope to hearing from you soon.

“Great first day with Yoko in Tokyo”
We had a fantastic first day in Tokyo with Yoko! She picked us up directly from our hotel and shared so much valuable insight about both Tokyo and Japan, which was perfect for our first full day in the country. We walked over 15 km and covered a lot of ground, taking in a wide range of sights. Yoko also took us to a wonderful, authentic lunch spot and made sure every detail of the day was thoughtfully planned. Highly recommended!

I appreciate your wonderful review, Merel san. I had a great time with both of you who were so intelligent, amazing lovely couple. Starting with the Kawazu-zakura welcoming you next to the National Stadium, we could see some wedding couples at Meiji Jingu Shrine, beautiful cherry blossoms at East Gardens, Asakusa and Ueno Park. It was really nice meeting you. I love the conversations we could have together. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you again, Yoko

“A whole day walking tour of Tokyo”
Yoko T. Was an an excellent guide and we will highly recommend her. Even before we got to Tokyo, she was communicating with us and very graciously answering all of our questions and giving us hints and advices regarding hotels, restaurants, etc…. The day of the tour, she was punctual and super well mannered and very easy to be with. She would adjust to our needs and wishes as well as providing a ton of historical and interesting information about all the places we were visiting. And to top it all, even after the day of the tour, she kept sending messages with more recommendations and tips. Thank you Yoko, you played a great part in making us enjoy our stay in Tokyo.

Thank you so much for such a gracious review, Fadia san. I really appreciate your niece Sarah san introduced me to you. You, Chloe and your son were all so polite and amazing. I really enjoy spending the time together on March 12. I will be dreaming of guiding you to the Mount Fuji area when you come back to ski in Japan. Thank you again for a memorable day, Yoko
