I'm Yukiko. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job.
I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am 3T lover- Travel, Tea ceremony and Traditional and modern arts. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children.
I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide.
My main tour area are Tokyo, Kamakura, Yokohama, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Gunma and Nikko. It's a private personalized tour so that I'd be happy to discuss about it with you in advance to make your tour pleasant. We can include Japanese cultural experiences if you'd like.
I also have done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. I took the plunge, it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills.
I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. I've experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed.
I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime.

“A perfect day in Tokyo”
It was a wonderful day with Yukiko. She is so nice, she try to make all wishes true(and manages it). We visited beautiful, interesting places, eat at a very good and authentic restaurant, got a really good matcha and had a lot of fun. I recommend Yukiko for everybody who want to have a great tour in Tokyo. Thank you for this experience. Dana

Thank you for your wonderful review, Dana!! I'm glad that we could visit the main area with other requested places flexible and smoothly, today. As you're with me, I tried to show you something different like off the beaten track places and local spots. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of your days in Tokyo and will share your experiences in Japan to your family and friends! Domo Arigatou gozaimashita!!

“Wonderful guide”
Yukiko guided my wife and me though a wonderful day, our first full day in Tokyo. She planned the day in advance in line with our interests. She prepared a booklet with useful information and then lead us in the most friendly and professional way, adjusting timings when necessary. Yukiko reserved lunch in a traditional Japanese restaurant .. a great experience. It was a wonderful day from start to finish, and set us up well to continue exploring ourselves the following days. Thank you Yukiko. 10/10
Yukiko F.

Thank you once again, Have an enjoyable trip in Japan! Domo Arigatou!!

“Yukiko is a MUST for your Japan Holiday!”
My 10yo son and I have recently returned from 8 days in Japan, 2 of which were spent with beautiful Yukiko! Travelling solo with a child in a completely different country with completely different language and customs felt more than a little daunting for me, until we met with Yukiko. What an honour and privilege it was to spend 2 full days with such a beautiful person. Not only was Yukiko an incredibly knowledgable, organised, accommodating and professional guide, she was such a delight to spend time with. We had planned a Tokyo stay that married both my interest in the spiritual culture and beautiful nature and my sons obsession with pop culture and lots of anime! Yukiko seamlessly and perfectly managed to show us the best of both worlds in our short time with her. Exhibiting endless patience and kindness with my sons anime passion and chatter, Yukiko was so friendly and fun, having organised engaging activities to keep him interested and curious. Yukiko was incredibly flexible and adaptive when my son was feeling unwell on the second morning, and kindly stopped off on the way to our hotel to get some much needed fruit for us and going with the flow until he came good, then off we went again! Yukiko provided us with so much helpful information about the culture, the language and the rail system, that we felt completely confident and excited about navigating the remaining 6 days on our own. I simply cannot recommend this beautiful woman more highly. We were very sad when our tour ended with Yukiko as it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. Yukiko went extraordinarily above and beyond to make our visit special, even creating beautiful, meaningful gifts for us to enjoy upon our farewell. We will be back to Japan and look forward to Yukiko showing us around her favourite parts of Tokyo. Yukiko san dōmo arigatō gozaimasu!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! It encouraged me a lot. The 2 days with you and your son were truly memorable for me as well and so happy to hear about all your words. It was 2 days tour, but I felt as if the more time we spent together. I wish this trip will remain as a great memory of Japan in you and your son's heart and meet you again in the future. Domo Arigatou!!!
