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!!

“Excellent Tokyo tour either Yuki!”
My husband and I had the pleasure of touring with Yuki today. We explored the lovely Imperial Palace East Gardens, the Fukagawa Edo Museum, enjoyed a fabulous sushi lunch, the gorgeous Kiyosumi Gardens, and the Hie Shrine. Yuki was especially knowledgeable about the Imperial Palace East gardens. We asked him many questions all day, and he proved patient and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and would definitely recommend Yuki!

Dear Janet Thank you very much for writing such a good review of my tour. You are the perfect guests for the historical places we visited today. I'm glad if you like the sushi place I found recently. They serve very good fish from Toyosu, the new whole sale market, moved from Tsukiji. Please enjoy your stay in Japan. Yuki

“Haneda Airport Service with Yuki K.”
Hiring Yuki to assist us upon arrival at Haneda Airport was a great decision for our first trip to Tokyo. Navigating the transit system seemed overwhelming, but Yuki made everything smooth and stress-free. He met us at the airport, helped us purchase Suica cards, assisted with currency exchange, and patiently explained the train system. His professionalism, politeness, and thorough guidance ensured we got to our hotel with ease. It was a wonderful way to start our Tokyo adventure without any stress. Highly recommend Yuki’s services!

Dear Margo Thank you for your review. I'm glad if my service helped you to settle you down at your hotel late at night. Your cooperation for our online communication and searching your location at the airport made it easier for me to meet you. Please enjoy your travel in Japan. Yuki

“Excellent way to start our Japan trip”
Yuki was an exceptional guide! He met us at Haneda Airport and provided valuable tips that made our transportation during our trip so much easier. Yuki shared insights we would never have figured out on our own - starting with a convenient door-to-door transfer from the airport to our hotel that saved us $50 USD compared to an Uber or taxi. Yuki was also incredibly helpful in setting us up with transit cards apps, which turned out to be the most useful advice we received. Yuki mapped out the logistics for our 10-day, 4-city trip, which involved the various train systems in Japan. Thanks to Yuki’s services, everything went smoothly - allowing us to navigate Japan's busy and complex transit system with ease!

Other Popular Food & Drink Tours in Tokyo
Tokyo Bar Hopping Tour in Shinjyuku(Location can be changed)
I will take you to 3 izakayas (Japanes Bars) that Japanese usually go in Shinjyuku. Some places like Memory Lane(Omoide Yokocho), Kabukicho, Golden Gai etc. You can save time researching and planning your trip because I will show you places that are usually difficult for tourists to find. I can recommend you delicious foods & drinks and order it for you, so you can take the stress out of language barriers. Also during the bar hopping, I can show you nice places in Shinjyuku.
Enjoy Japanese Dinner at Kagurazaka
Let's walk around Kagurazaka where you find nice restaurants and traditional shops, and enjoy nice dinner at a cozy Japanese restaurant :) I'll book a restaurant of your favorite Japanese food such as Yakitori, Soba, Yakiniku/Shabushabu, or some local cuisine from different regions (Okinawa, Kumamoto, Niigata, etc). You can explore Kagurazaka including small alleys, and enjoy both traditional and modern atmosphere of the area as well.
Tsukiji Market morning tour for food lovers
This is an invitation to a tasty and lively food experience at the No. 1 market, Tsukiji. The place is a treasure trove of delicious seafood, so let's sample some of the ’catch of the day’, sold fresh or skewered and grilled at the store front!
Tokyo Ginza Then and Now (Izakaya hopping tour in 3 hours)
You want to experience Izakaya like locals? Are you a little reluctant to drink in Shinjuku Kabukicho or the youth town of Shibuya? If so, I recommend Ginza, Yurakucho area! The area has some different profiles. There are deep izakaya alleys underneath the JR railways that retain a postwar atmosphere and also high-end streets where the district became first westernized after the Edo period. You can enjoy 2 very different types of drinking spots while touching about the history.
