About Tour Guide Yuki K.
I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015.
Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

“Fantastic guided Tour!!!”
Mr Yuki is a brilliant guide. We learned so much about Tokyo from him. We really enjoyed his tour and I would highly recommend him!

Dear Jackie, Thank you for your review. We visited Meiji Shrine at first including its inner garden where we see the full broom of water lilies on the pond and beginning of iris flowers. Then, I took you to Harajuku for shopping and lunch. The weather was perfect for walking. Please enjoy Tokyo with your family. Yuki

“Great tour!”
Great tour with Yuki.
Yuki K.
Dear Khaled Thank you for taking two days of my Tokyo tours. They were during Golden Week but not so busy except Nezu Shrine. They were my first visit to the strawberry farm and the aquarium but I found them very enjoyable for a family with children. Please give my best regards to your family. Yuki

“Day Trip to Kawagoe”
Our day trip to Kawagoe was well-organized, smooth, and a lot of fun. Yuki expertly guided us through the train system, making both arrival and departure stress-free. We visited a fascinating temple and ancient cemetery, but chose to spend most of our time exploring the charming, craft-filled streets. Yuki shared rich insights into Kawagoe’s history, which made the experience even more meaningful. We also enjoyed a traditional udon lunch and sampled a variety of delicious local treats. A truly memorable outing!

Dear Betty, Thank you very much for the third review. It's been a while since I visited there last time. I'm surprised that there were so many Japanese tourists visiting the Kuratsukuri street. It was a big different from the authentic Buddhist Temple of Naka-inn. Thank you for taking my tours for three days. Yuki
