About Tour Guide Junko Y.

Hi there! I'm Junko, a government licensed tour guide and interpreter. I was born and bred in the Tokyo area. I can customize my tour or create a tour any way you like, so please send me a message if you are interested. I have spent a year as a graduate student in the US, and traveled in several countries. I've made friends with non-Japanese people throughout my life, and I have a pretty good knowledge of what they want to know. I love goofy jokes and having fun. I will do my best to make our clients' stay in Japan a wonderful one.

Reviews

Junko does an excellent job!

Please see detailed review written on other post. Booked two full days with Junko (two one-day, customized, private tours). Excellent tour guide, wonderful experience. Made a huge difference to have a customized, private tour with a tour guide who is knowledgeable and cares about giving you a tour that meets your needs. Junko did an excellent job.

Thank you so much!! It was a great pleasure that I was able to guide you for two days in a row. I really appreciate it. You two were amazing guests! I'm so happy that you enjoyed my tour because I had so much fun and also I was able to learn many things from you two! I really hope to see you and your mother again.

Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide!

Our customized, private tour with Junko was a really great experience. We booked two full days with her to sightsee in Tokyo before taking a cruise. From the beginning, Junko was always responsive to messages. We proposed a number of places to visit, and she helped ensure the timeframe to get around was doable. She also checked that there were no duplicates between our tour with her and what we would see on the cruise. Before we arrived, Junko made sure she was familiar with the current conditions of all of our planned stops and worked with us on whether or not to purchase tickets in advance. She also determined whether to use the subway, bus or taxi. We agreed in advance to cover transportation costs and lunch for her so that we could all be together. As a tour guide, Junko is very knowledgeable about the area and helped us navigate the subway, bus and taxi. It was helpful that she spoke Japanese because we did not. She explained common customs that we did not know, such as which side to stand on an escalator. She was also prompt on both days, meeting us at our hotel early. Her English is strong. Junko is very pleasant and polite, especially with my mom who was 80 years old. When my mom got tired, we ended up taking more breaks. When we ended up liking a particular place, we spent more time than planned. Junko was always patient and flexible when we wanted to adjust. This is a great benefit of having a customized, private tour as opposed to a larger one that chooses the itinerary and timeframe for you. We were able to see what we wanted to see, at our own pace, without impacting others if we were slower than expected. We also received a lot of helpful information from Junko and could ask as many questions as we wanted. Also, Junko helped us find and use transportation efficiently (such as subway stations) so we would not get lost. We highly recommend a customized, private tour with Junko - if we do return to Japan, we will request her again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! Honestly, I really enjoyed showing you and your mother around Tokyo and I'm so glad that we had a great time together. It was so interesting to listen to your work experiences, since I found them really relatable. Your mother's experience in Tokyo 50 years ago was fascinating, too. I could spend hours just chatting with you two. I will be more than willing to guide you again when you come back. I trully hope to see you and your mother again. Untill then, see you!

Excellent tour guide!

Junko was a very friendly, knowledgeable and very organized tour guide. Junko personalized our tour exactly how we wanted it. We loved our tour and highly recommend Junko!! She was wonderful!! Thank you Junko for an unforgettable tour of Nikko!!
