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.

“Beautiful day in Kamakura”
This was a great tour! Yukiko is very knowledgeable about history and took great care and effort to explain everything we saw. We were lucky enough to see a clear day with amazing weather, and it was overall a beautiful trip. If you are looking for a kind and experienced guide, this tour is a lovely option.

Dear Amy, Thank you so much for your great review! You were the best listener to my explanation. It was a great pleasure for me to introduce Japan to such an excellent student like you through this trip to Kamakura, a historical city surrounded by nature. I also enjoyed talking with you while walking on the present world as you have a keen point of view. Thank you again for understanding me. I think we were a good team. Yukiko

“Wonderful introudction to Tokyo!”
Had the pleasure of doing a half day trip with Yukiyo. Toured the Meijo shrine and eastern palace gardens. Yukiyo is extremely sweet, very knowledgeable, super responsive and flexible with times/location. She was frequently adding context to whatever was in front of us, and was always happy to answer any questions that came up. I highly recommend booking a tour with Yukiyo, especially if it is your first time in Tokyo.

Dear Ali, Thank you so much for the great review!l I was so glad that you and your wife Haya were so intelligent and interested in Japanese history and culture and that not only you listened to my explanation earnestly but also asked me a lot of keen questions. Besides you were very impressive guests and such a nice couple that I enjoyed being with you. It was my great pleasure to know you have deep understanding on Japan and to be a little help for you. Thank you again and have a nice trip! Yukiko

“Tokyo Tour”
This was a great tour! I was able to see and do so much. Experiencing Asakusa and seeing the Meiji Shrine was an amazing experience. It was also very nice to see Koishikawa Korakuen in the morning. There are so many shops and things to do, thanks for taking me and also remembering my birthday. 本当にありがとうございます!
Yukiko K.
Dear Nshan, Thank you for your nice review! You are so interested in Japanese culture, history, architecture and even Japanese and were such a good listener. So I enjoyed being with you. Visiting Koishikawa Korakuen in the morning was such a good idea that you felt peaceful in nature and learned about Japanese history in quietness. At Meiji Shrine the explanation about poems of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken seemed to have impressed you. Lastly at Sensoji, you said you were impressed by the architecture. I was so glad that you appreciated my tour. 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.

Half Day Trip in Tokyo
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. You can see both old and modern sides of Tokyo in a short time. We will use mainly public transportation system like subway and trains, yet according to the situation we can catch a taxi.

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.
