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 more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of 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!!

“Tokyo tour à la carte”
We enjoyed the whole tour, and even though it was raining, it was still very enjoyable. We visited Asakusa, including the beautiful Senso-ji Temple, which is a lively and popular area for shopping. We also explored the Tsukiji Outer Market, a must-visit spot where you can taste a wide variety of delicious foods. Finally, we went to Shibuya, which is famous for the iconic scramble crossing, where countless people cross the intersection at the same time. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great way to see some of Tokyo’s most famous sights.

“Highly recommend ”
We had the most incredible experience with Yuki! He is extremely helpful, kind, and knowledgeable, making everything smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. What stood out the most is how kid-friendly he is—our children felt comfortable and truly included the whole time. Yuki goes above and beyond in every way, anticipating needs, sharing insights, and making sure the experience is special for everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommend him especially to families and anyone looking for an unforgettable experience! Thanks again!

Best Memories of Hakone

We will take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Odawara and a mountain train, a ropeway and cruise Lake Ashi by the Pirate ship to enjoy her various scenery. Hakone is famous for hot spring public baths, you can try one if you want. If the weather is fine, you can see the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji from several places.
