About Tour Guide Yukiko K.
My name is Yukiko . I have a national license for a tour guide in English. I live in Tokyo on weekdays and go back to my house in Kamakura on weekend. I like both cities.
Tokyo is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Kamakura is a traditional city with history and nature. I like communicating with people.
My family and I had homestay students from all over the world and my children call me "mother of the world." I like learning foreign languages. I speak a little German and I learned a little Italian last year. I also have a license for teaching Japanese to foreigners as a second language. It would be a great pleasure for me to make your trip to Japan more valuable and impressive through my explanation of Japanese culture and history,
I am looking forward to seeing you.

“A wonderful customized tour of Tokyo with a great guide. ”
We had a wonderful time touring Tokyo with Yukiko. We selected two of the three tour locations and left the third to Yukiko’s choice and we are glad we did. She selected a very pretty garden with several historical teahouses. Nearby was a great restaurant with a panoramic rooftop view where we had a delicious Japanese lunch. Yukiko was very well prepared and knowledgeable teaching us a little about Japanese history and culture as we went along during the day. Finally, Yukiko was a lovely, caring person to spend a day with. Her gentle and kind approach, tailoring the tour for our desires, made for a memorable day.

Yukiko K.
Dear Paul and Anne, thank you for your wonderful review! You were such good listeners of my story, so generous and kind that I really felt comfortable being with. You seemed to enjoy and appreciate every moment in the tour which made me so happy. Anne was a good photographer and sent me the pictures during the tour. They are precious records and treasure for me. They tell me how I do my job, how much I like it, and above all how happy I was doing a tour with smart and handsome Paul and intelligent and lovely Annie. I wanted to explain more about Japan. Making a plan by yourself also gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Have a nice trip! I will never forget you. Yukiko

Highlights of Kamakura
Kamakura was the first capital of Samurai government in Japan. It is not only a historical city with about 100 shrines and temples but also a city with beautiful nature surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing the sea to the south. It has a brave culture based on Zen Buddhism. If you are interested in Japanese history and culture and you like nature, this trip will satisfy you.

Begin the day with a visit to Meiji Shrine, the largest shrine in Tokyo. In the afternoon, you can choose between exploring Asakusa—home to Sensoji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo—or the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, which was once the site of Edo Castle.
