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!!

Dear Robert, Thank you for your review of my Kamakura tour. You took this tour instead of Lake Kawaguchi tour as the weather was not favorable to see Mt. Fuji. I was glad that everyone enjoyed visiting Kamakura. Your wife is the first guest to buy so many antiques, so I helped her to carry them during the tour. Thank you for taking my tour!

Dear Robert, Thank you for your review. We visited Kamakura and Lake Kawaguchi for two days. I'm very glad that you could see Mt. Fuji as the initial date was not good and we have changed the date for Lake Kawaguchi. Kamakura was a very good place as a plan B. Thank you for taking my tours!

“Outstanding Private Tour Experience”
We had a fantastic experience with our private tour guide Yuki. From the start, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The tour felt fully personalized and never rushed. Our guide tailored the day to our family’s interests and shared great insights into the history, culture, and local areas, making everything more engaging. Logistics were seamless throughout. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and made getting around the city effortless. We also appreciated his restaurant and local recommendations that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Most importantly, we really enjoyed spending the day with him. And he made us feel comfortable and welcome, and it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a formal tour. We highly recommend Yuki for anyone looking for a private, personalized experience, and would happily book again.

Dear Mehul, Thank you for your review. On the first day, we visited the most popular places in Tokyo: Shibuya Sky Observatory, Meiji Shrine, and Imperial Palace East Gardens. It was so sunny that the observatory was closed during our visit. On the second day, I took your family to Hakone, but the ropeway was suspended due to lightning. I felt very sorry about these weather conditions, so we attended the fire ceremony at a temple in Tokyo on the third day to get rid of your bad luck. I hope you made it. Thank you for taking my tours!
$156/ per group

Private Day Tour to Hakone – Scenic Highlights & Mt. Fuji Views (Weather Permitting)
This tour is arranged based on my experience, more than 100 times. If we can expect the view of Mt. Fuji by a live camera, I will take you to the best places for viewing it as early as possible. Where you can enjoy the view without having to wait long. If not, I will take you to other popular places you can enjoy without the view, expecting the view at a later part of the tour. Hakone is famous for hot spring baths; you can try a public or private one if you want by extending the tour time.

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.
