About Tour Guide Lily I.
Hi, I'm Yuriko, but please call me Lily!
Born and raised in Tokyo, I've been a nationally licensed guide since 2007. I'm a Japan Guide Awards 2025 finalist and a government-certified Luxury Tour Specialist (2025).
With 100+ private tours a year and nearly 300 tours handled through travel agents, I know how to make your day run smoothly and stay unforgettable.
The best memories aren't in guidebooks. They come from personal connections and hidden stories.
I love Japanese food (eating and cooking!), traditional arts and crafts, and wandering Tokyo's big and small neighborhoods in search of hidden gems.
A few childhood years in the US, a background in education and PR, and life as a mom of two boys have taught me to connect with guests from all over the world.
Share your bucket list, and I'll shape it into your perfect day.
Welcome to Tokyo!!

“Tsukiji Market”
Lily gave us an excellent tour of the Tsukiji Market. We learned about the history of the Market, visited some of the more interesting and delicious stalls and explored some of the surrounding areas. She is a knowledgeable, polite and generous guide! Thank you Lily!
Lily I.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sara! It was such a pleasure guiding you through Tsukiji Market. I really enjoyed sharing more than just the food itself — introducing you to the history and culture behind Japanese food was one of my favorite parts of the tour. I'm so glad you had a great time, and I hope to see you again in Tokyo someday! Best, Lily

“Comprehensive and most interesting tour of the Tsukiji Fish market, Toky”
Lily gave us a most informative tour of the fish markets combining the very old history, the processing, selling and how it is served in the restaurants and where the different seafoods were caught combined with the opportunity to taste many different things as we made our way around the market. Lily picked us up from our hotel and delivered us back and was very fluent in English which made everything easy to understand and enjoy. We would highly recommend Lily’s tour to anyone wishing to do a food tour in the fish markets.
Lily I.
Thank you for the lovely feedback! I had such a great time exploring the market with you all! From the old history to our little tasting sessions, your curiosity made the tour even more special for me! I'm glad the hotel pick-up and our conversations made your morning in Tokyo smooth and enjoyable. Wishing you a safe and wonderful journey ahead! Best, Lily
