About Tour Guide Yoko T.
Hi, I'm Yoko, a National License Tour Guide＆International Kikisake-shi.
I speak with an American accent, 'cause I lived in Seattle, Washington for six years in my childhood(3-9 years old). My tours might be better with people who LOVE TO WALK, have STAMINA and keen to learn about the culture.
Now I live within a walking distance from Ueno Park, Tokyo, so I see a lot of International tourists walking around in my neighborhood every day.
(PLEASE CHECK EACH TOUR. The expenses are spelled out, too.)
"Tokyo is larger than we thought and the transportations are so complicated," Swedish guys told me. I'm here to help you. I know well about Tokyo, Yokohama, Yamanashi etc. and I travel most of the parts of Japan.
I would appreciate if you could see more sightseeing spots with me as your guide and enjoy your stay.
I love to answer your questions, even though I became nearly breathless when I was with American guests, a family of three, curiously asking me questions after questions:-)
I appreciated their interest in Japan very much.
I also go mountain trekking for nearly thirty years. I've been to the summit of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Kitadake three times. Talking about Mt. Takao, maybe more than fifty times.
I hope we can enjoy the beautiful view together.
I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and having a good time together.
Hope to hearing from you soon.

“Yoko tour —February 2025”
Yoko provided great tour learning about some of Tokyo’s older neighborhoods with a stop at a local family restaurant for a delicious lunch. This is the second time we hired Yoko and she again exceeded our expectations. The tea ceremony proved to be the highlight in watching and learning about this traditional activity. The National Museum was enhanced with all Yoko’s pertinent facts. Finally, the performance at the Kabukiza Theatre topped off a wonderful day with her expert explanations and historical references. Yoko planned the perfect day for our limited time in Tokyo and she was very accommodating with our requests. Highly recommend Yoko. T. Atkins

I deeply appreciate you choosing me again after our first tours in Tokyo and Mount Fuji area two year ago and the amazing review, Thomas san. We visited Yanaka Cemetry and its neighboring residential area, Nezu Shrine and Ueno Park. I'm happy you enjoy conversations with the lovely family who hosted the tea ceremony. I knew that Atsuko san played Lacrosse in her university days but it was quite a surprise that you also played it. I was quite honored to enjoy the great performance of Akoya and a dance together with you and Mickey and felt satisfied with two of you praising as it was "Marvelous." Let's visit Kamakura together the next time you come. Till then please take good care of yourselves. Thank you again for everything. Sincerely, Yoko

“First time to Tokyo with 1 day to see the sights - YOKO was amazing!”
We only had one day to see Tokyo and we were in the best hands. Yoko had great ideas for us, was so helpful. We got around Tokyo effortlessly with Yoko and saw all the things we wanted to. We can't thank her enough and would highly recommend her for trip to Tokyo. Thank you so much Yoko! :)

I deeply appreciate you posting the review of your client and friend Ben san's, especially when I'm having a hard time because a irrational libel was posted by a dementia guy who arranged a trip for his "friends" and the office staff won't remove it even it was full of false statements. I really had a great time myself talking with Ben san and Noah san. They were fast walkers so we could cover a lot in a day. Rebecca san, I hope you can enjoy fluffy snow next month, Thank you again, Yoko

Tokyo Up-to-You Tour
I recommend ending up the day with the night view of the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay, the most beautiful night view in Tokyo I would like you to see. We will visit the spots you would like to in Tokyo.I will make an itinerary based on your choices and requests. (The popular highlights will be Meiji Jingu Shrine, East Gardens and Asakusa with Nakamise Souvenir Shopping Streets.) Sightseeing spots in Tokyo is widely spread, so I guess we can only visit three or four spots a day.
Mt. Fuji's View from Lake Kawaguchiko Up-to-You Tour starting from Shinjuku
Mt. Fuji isn't always visible, especially when it's hazy. Please choose the spots in the highlights you would like to visit around Kawaguchiko/ Mt. Fuji, based on your interest/preferences, your physical condition and the weather. It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.
Early Risers' Nikko Up-to-You Tour by Tobu Limited Express
Nikko, which has been acknowledged as World Heritage in 1999, has temples and shrines with awesome sculptures.We will ride a Tobu Limited Express train for approximately two hours from the west side of Tokyo area/Saitama to visit there and take time to appreciate them.You can enjoy Yuba (tofu skin), which is one of the local specialities, buckwheat noodles or curry and rice etc. as lunch.
Edo Tokyo Tour: East Gardens & Ueno Park or Asakusa
East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is one of the Must-See spots in Tokyo, I believe. The gardens are quite beautiful and there was the castle of the Capital approximately four hundred years ago and now around there is the business center of Japan. After visiting the East Gardens, we will visit Ueno Park, which also has some historical buildings. Or you can choose Asakusa, one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo instead.

Best Memories of Yokohama
In this tour, you will visit the most impressive places in Yokohama including Sky Garden of Landmark tower, Sankei-En Japanese Garden where you can experience the tea ceremony, and having a delicious lunch at my favorite restaurant. You can choose one place from the options in the itinerary during 15:00 to 16:00. I was born and grew up in Yokohama and I am sure this tour will become a good memory of your travel in Japan.
Yokohama is extremely a young city. It has only less than 160 years of history.
Yokohama has a fascinating tale of transformation from a small fishing village to the 2nd largest city. Its evolution is particularly notable for how it embraced international trade and modernization. Minato Mirai district is a large urban development. The name reflects its design and purpose as a futuristic city. We will explore how Yokohama has been developed so rapidly in 160 years, watching several historical architectures, etc.
Yokohama, Now & Then
Only a 30-minute train ride from Tokyo, you can reach the unique cosmopolitan city of Yokohama. Yokohama has two faces: modern and classical. In this tour you can enjoy a modern life at Minato Mirai 21 and a classical one at Yamate Heights and China town. MM21 is a national project, starting in 1984, to create a new city at its waterfront, suitable for the 21st century. Yamate Heights, an old European settlement on a hill, preserves beautiful European style houses.
