About Tour Guide Yuko O.
Hello, potential tourists!
I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license.
I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015.
Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan.
It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well.
However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan,
without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities.
Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan !
Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now!
Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ?
Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city.
See you in Yokohama, Japan!

“Fabulous Customized Tour With Yuko”
Yuko treated my family to a wonderfully diverse and fun-filled Tokyo tour that everyone from ages 14 to 75 thoroughly enjoyed. From winding our way through various train hubs to ride the complex Japanese public transportation system, to getting good fortune at a Buddist temple, eating delicious monja prepared tableside by talented waiters in a famous restaurant, visiting the picturesque Odaiba area for some beautiful foto ops, popping in and out of ceramic and kitchen supply shops for the 2 chefs in our family, learning Samurai and Ninja history, and finding a small, out of the way melon bread shop, it was a full day of sensory experiences. Yuko went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had the best first day in Tokyo. A huge thank you to Yuko, our knowledgeable and welcoming tour guide, for all her hard work behind the scenes to pull off this very special tour.
Yuko O.
Thank you, Karen, for your excellent review. I myself really enjoyed spending the day with such a wonderful family like yours. I will always remember that day. Your help in getting us to and from Yokohama and Tokyo on a very hot day, and to each of the sites we visited, made the whole thing run smoothly. It was a very challenging itinerary for our guests, but we were able to pull it off with great cooperation. You all are truly a wonderful family! We hope you will have another opportunity to visit Japan again! We look forward to seeing you again!

“Perfect day in Kamakura”
Yuko was very organized, took care of everything, and provided very useful information. In addition to that she was flexible and amended the programme during the tour by adding a visit to Enoshima because we asked for it. Really great tour.
Yuko O.
Dear Joachim, Thank you very much for a perfect review, which is really appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you liked Kamakura, and I also enjoyed it because of "WITH you", wonderful father & son. I was very impressed by your active walking, especially to hear that you climbed to the top of Enoshima without using "escar" quickly, and patience in the crowded train like a sardine. You are super-active, as well as ultra-smart ! If you have another chance to come to this area, please include Yokohama, my city. If I have a chance, I'd love to go to your country ! Have a nice trip to Kyoto, and see you in the future again !
