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!!

Reviews

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!

Dear Vanessa Thank you for your impressive review. We visited Toyosu market including the tuna auction gallery, Pro shop area, and Street foods area. We had sushi lunch at my favorite sushi bar. Everything went well and it was a great time for me, too. Please come to Japan again. Yuki

Golden Rout Tour with Yuki

We picked one of the hottest days of the year to tour from Shinjuku to Kyoto on the bullet train. Yuki was an amazing guide very informative and very professional and tried very hard to keep us cool. The fact is we couldn’t have achieved our goals without Yuki’s knowledge and guidance. Highly recommended Yuki as a personal guide.

Dear Anthony Thank you for writing the review of my Kyoto tour. It was my 88th tour of Kyoto so everything should be going well. It was a hot summer day but we visited Fushimi Shrine with numerous gates, Arashiyama area with Tenryu-ji Temple and Bamboo forest, and the golden pavilion. Please enjoy your stay in Japan. Yuki

Absolutely amazing tour

Thank you so much Yuki! Yuki was perfect. He was absolutely amazing and reliable. And even as we had rain on the day of the tour it was the highlight of our trip in Tokyo. Communication was easy and he helped us so much to make the best of the day! He did his very best to organize our day. I texted him in advance that we would like to ride the Shinkansen. He organized everything und met us in time at the hotel lobby. After the train we had the most amazing lunch at Tsukiji fish market! I highly recommend booking Yuki ! Thank you so much!

Dear Katja, Thank you for your great review of my Tokyo tour. It was a unique tour just taking the Shinkansen to/from Odawara. The view was very impressive when other Shinkansens passing by the station with their full speed. We were lucky to have sushi lunch at my favorite place in Tsukiji without waiting so long. Then we visited Samurai museum at Asakusa. Everything went well even though it was raining. Thank you for taking my tour. Yuki
