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.

“Great local guide that navigates the city with ease!!”
From the moment we booked till we concluded the tour, we felt like we were dealing with a caring individual. She plans well and is on time. She explains the various periods well and even gave us a diagram to use for the rest of our trip. Yukiko went out of her way finding great vegetarian ramen for us and adjusting the iternary to my additional requests. She shares a lot about living in Japan and the little hidden gems. In crowded places she constantly ensures that we were always together. Learnt alot today and glad that I got a guide.

Dear Shaila Thank you so much for your great review! The moment I saw you at the lobby of your hotel, I realized that you have a wonderful family. We visited six different places in Tokyo in one day taking eight hours. We had to transfer subways many times and had to walk a lot. Yet, you followed me so well . What is impressive is that you are so intelligent and so interested in what I explained about Japanese history. It was the greatest pleasure for me as a guide. I'm looking forward to another great trip with you in Kamakura tomorrow. Yukiko

“Detailed & knowledgeable and great planner”
Was so pleased with her help in planning our first day in Tokyo. I had a list of where I wanted to go. She double checked availability and found some were closed on Sunday so she help revise the itinerary. She also checked for reservations and made them in our behalf.- saving us disappointment. You can’t just wing it in Tokyo you need an advance plan. Her warm and giving attitude made our trip so memorable. I recommend her enthusiastically.

Dear Gary, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I was so moved by the warm relationship between father and son during the tour. You are such a gentle father and your son always cares about you with consideration. I was so glad to see you were fascinated by the cherry blossoms full in bloom and was impressed by your son who learns Japanese at school and is interested in Japan. I had great pleasure teaching him Japanese history and answering his questions. He was a little gentleman asking me, "Do you like being a guide?" Yes! I like being a guide not only for showing foreigners Japanese history and culture as I said, but also for meeting nice people like you. Thank you for a nice experience for me. Yukiko

“How to make a plan of three-week trip in Japan”
Yukiko was so helpful and patient. She gave me lots of ideas and places to visit. That should keep me very busy for my stay. We also had a fabulous lunch at a Fugu resturant. Something I had hoped to experience. Thank you

It was so exciting to help you make a plan of three-week trip around Japan, and it was also a good study for me. We enjoyed precious lunch. Thank you for your kindness. I hope you will have a nice trip! Yukiko
