About Tour Guide Yoko I.
Hello, I'm Yoko. I was born and brought up in Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture (80 km north from Tokyo) and I've lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years.
I love traveling, both overseas and inside Japan. After I visited other countries and saw many local cultures there, I realized that Japan has a variety of unique cultures with a lot of tourist attractions.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Best way to see Japan is with Yoko!”
We booked two tours with Yoko, one was this one day Tokyo tour and the other was the Kamakura tour. I entered my One Day Tour review on the other tour in error. Both tours were so wonderful, but I would like to recognize Yoko on the amazing job she did with the Kamakura tour. It was such a wonderful experience... We loved the train ride and the bus ride to Kamakura. We saw the Buddha, but because we are a foodie, we especially loved the soba noodles place Yoko introduced us to. Yoko was like family by the end of our tour...she was kind, helpful, and made sure we did all that we wanted. Our tour went a little longer than expected, but Yoko was flexible and very accommodating. When it was time to say goodbye, she gave us thank you gifts. We were sad to say goodbye. We will definitely seek her again next time we go back to Japan. Thank you Yoko for making us feel special and giving us memorable moments.

(78 reviews)Thank you so much for such a fabulous review, Javier! The tour with all of you in Kamakura was fantastic. I was glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour and you loved the soba noodles restaurant. I felt the same feeling, yes, I felt like I was one of your family members or an old friend. I also felt sad when I had to say goodbye to you. I'm very glad to hear that I could help you have special and memorable moments in Kamakura and in Tokyo. I'm grateful for your kindness. I hope you will come to Tokyo again and hope to see you someday in the near future. Thank you again for having me as your guide.

Yoko, you were the sunshine of our trip. We are truly appreciative of all the effort you made to accommodate our group. We would never have been able to find all the places we visited during our 1 day tour. Thanks to your planning, we hit everything on our wish list and more. You hit everything on the nail.. you introduced us to the Japanese culture, you took us shopping, and best of all, you took us to a culinary adventure by telling us food we should try and took us to delicious restaurant. We were all so lucky to have you us our guide.

(78 reviews)Thank you so much for posting such a lovely review, Javier! All of you were the sunshine to me! It was lovely meeting all of you. The day was one of the busiest time in Tokyo with lots of people, so I wasn't sure if you fully enjoyed Tokyo - but I was glad to see that all of you enjoyed sakura-mochi, seasonable sweets in Japan, at Tsukiji market. I was also glad to see that your children and niece looked really happy when we arrived in Akihabara. I'll never forget their reaction, which naturally made me smile. I was impressed by their knowledge and interest in Japan and Japanese culture. Touring with all of you was fun and interesting. Thank you so much for having me as your guide.
“Exceptional guide, professional and very adaptable. Loved our tour!”
My custom day tour of Tokyo with Yoko could not have been better. She has a great ability to adapt to requests and still keep us on schedule. Very knowledgeable, very well-prepared, very friendly. We covered a lot of ground and saw all the places on my list by walking and using the Metro. Yoko is an excellent guide and I would strongly recommend her to anyone wanting a great professional tour of Tokyo. Thank you, Yoko!
