About Tour Guide Yoko T.

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.

Reviews

Tokyo tour with a pro

Loved the time we spent with Yoko in Tokyo. We had planned for a trip to Mt Fuji initially, but as the weather was very unfavourable, Yoko offered to show us around some of the most interesting sites in the city. She knows Tokyo inside out, spoke perfect English, and was very pleasant company all throughout. I ended up regretting that I did not book more days with her, but I am thankful for the one I had. Otsukaresama deshita.

I really appreciate your great review. I had so much fun with you, your wife Ioana and your friends. I was deeply amazed with your group reading SHOGUN and the numbers of Japanese movies you saw before you came to Japan. I still believe Mount Fuji is the most beautiful in February. I will dream of you coming back with your daughter some day. I hope you have a nice flight back tomorrow. Arigato gozaimashita!! Thank you again for the wonderful time. See you!!

Amazing tour with Yoko who made our trip so special

We had a fabulous day out with Yoko san today. She perfectly captured our interests based on methodical pre-planning conversations and showed us a side of Tokyo we had not seen before. She carefully listened to our interests and curated an itinerary that ticked all the boxes. History, art, a wonderful visit to the Imperial Gardens, fabulous food and a real feeling of being privy to some of the local haunts. Yoko san went out of her way to help us with our future travel beyond Tokyo. She was tireless in ensuring we knew where to go to catch our Shinkansen and had our suica cards set up. We can’t praise Yoko san highly enough. She was an informative, caring and considerate host. We will certainly book her again on our next visit to Tokyo. Thank you Yoko san; you made today very special for us.

I really appreciate you writing a sugoi review just after the tour. I was glad you didn't have trouble with walking so much even we walked maybe more than 20000 steps together. I felt quite lucky that you made so much positive comments about all the places we visited. I hope you have a lovely trip of Nakasendo from tomorrow. Thank you so much again, Therese san and David san, for the lovely day. I will be looking forward to seeing you again in your future trip.

Excellent tour of Tokyo

We had an amazing day with Yoko! We booked the Up To You Tour of Tokyo. In just 8 hours, Yoko managed to show us so much—temples and shrines, the beautiful Chidorigofuchi Moat, the energy of Shibuya, and the charm of Asakusa. She was knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly kind. Not only was she our guide, but also very informative about Japan history in general. She took us to this amazing fish place for lunch. Yoko took so much stress out of our travel and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It felt like she was our friend the whole time and not a person that is just guiding us. Thank you so much, Yoko. Come visit us in beautiful Kyrgyzstan.Highly recommended!

Oh, thank you so much for your wonderful review, Thomas san.  I was so moved by it that I was almost going to cry. I was lucky to spend the day with you and your beautiful intelligent wife. It might be my first time to talk about the Fukushima disaster and about the episode of Iodine tablets supplied there.  I appreciated that you liked that genuine Japanese lunch with fish and added kelp options. I had a great time with both of you. Please enjoy Osaka and Kyoto. I will be waiting for you to come again to Tokyo with your kids some day soon. Please tell Nurida san that it was really meeting her too. Thank you again for the powerful wonderful day!!
