About Tour Guide Yuriko S.
I am Yuriko from Gifu Prefecture. I was an assistant English teacher at junior high school. I started to work as a National Certificate tour guide in 2019.
I'm very interested in kimono, tea ceremony and Japanese castles. I sometimes guide in kimono. There are so many nice places to visit in Gifu and Nagoya! I also guide around Takayama, Shirakawago, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Kanazawa if you pay my transportation fee from my hometown. Let's enjoy Japan with me!

“A special day in Kyoto”
We had the pleasure of spending a day in Kyoto with Yuriko as our guide, and it was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Japan. Yuriko was an absolutely delightful guide—warm, incredibly sweet, and always obliging. She went out of her way to accommodate our group’s specific needs, making thoughtful adjustments to the itinerary so everything ran smoothly and comfortably. Yuriko was exceptionally attentive throughout the day and brought each location to life with her deep knowledge of Kyoto’s history and culture. She guided us through the stunning Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and the serene Tenryuji Temple, and also arranged a special afternoon experience—a Maiko performance—which was a real treat. Everything about the tour felt seamless, well-paced, and personal. Yuriko crafted a truly memorable day for us in Kyoto, and we look back on it as one of the fondest memories of our entire Japan vacation. Highly recommended!

Dear David, Thank you so much for an excellent review and such a wonderful and positive words! I'm so impressed to read your kind words. I also had a special day in Kyoto with you and your nice family. Especially, it was fun memories for me to make paper cranes with your cute kids at a cozy cafe and to talk with your beautiful mother while you enjoyed boat riding in Katsura River in Arashiyama. There are other beautiful places to visit in Japan, such as Takayama and Shirakawago Village in Gifu or Nagoya, central Japan where is a birthplace of three major Samurai, Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and SHOGUN, Ieyasu Tokugawa. Please come to Japan again! I hope we will meet again somday in the future！ Your guide, Yuriko（Lily）

“Great Job from Yuriko San”
We really appreciate the patience of Yuriko San to wait for our ship’s arrival since it was delayed due to foggy weather. We also enjoyed her knowledge about Nagoya and her company. We had a great time with her.

Thank you so much for posting an excellent review and kind comment. I was so happy to meet you and your nice group members.

I hope to see you again as a tour guide and also as your friend. Your guide, Yuriko(Lily)

“If there is one thing that you must do in Nagoya is book Yuriko for your guide.”
We had a fantastic day out with Yuriko, she escorted us to all the sites we wanted to see and also modified her tour to accommodate our requests. Her knowledge of all the places we visited was exceptional. I don’t think we could have seen so much without her expertise. She knew all the spots for photos of all the main attractions, most of them we would not have found without her. Thank you for a wonderful day it was a pleasure to meet you and an unforgettable day in Nagoya, all the best for the future and thank you so much for your gift it was beautiful, Tony and Janet.

I am Roy, who had been stationed in the United States for 11 years and experienced the business trips to more than 40 countries all over the world. My home town Nagoya has many amazing places to visit such as Atsuta shrine, Nagoya castle and Osu Kannon temples in the large shopping district. I will let you have unforgettable time in Nagoya area as a Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I look forward to showing you around and talking about Japanese old and new culture and history.

Hello everyone. I am Tetsuji. I worked as a public servant in the local government for 35 years. I belonged to the department of Redevelopment, Town-Landscaping, Preserving historical areas and Architectural Guidance. (I have a national 1st-class architect license.) I devoted myself to revitalizing the city by making plans and improving infrastructure for citizens. Gifu is located in central Japan near Nagoya. As just being the crossroads of the West and the East, there are many unique attractions that are hard to discover in hectic big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. I had a hand in restoring and preserving some of them throughout my career and want to introduce them to tourists from abroad. That’s why I became a guide-interpreter in Gifu. I also enjoyed traveling around the world. My favorite part of each trip was walking around the city and talking with local residents. Traveling has taught me lots of things during my lifetime. Now, I would like to help others have similar experience in Japan. Shall we enjoy fantastic journey in Gifu?

Hello, I'm Yuichi, an English tour guide in Hokuriku region. If you are thinking about traveling to historical places such as Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go and Takayama, I am willing to offer a tour. I can bring you to those popular destinations from my base, Toyama city. These are the examples of my tour: Kanazawa - Shirakawago - Takayama Takaoka - Gokayama - Shirakawago - Takayama Toyama - Tateyama Kurobe Alipne Route - Omachi (Nagano Pref.) During the tour I like to provide simple explanations about Japanese history, and small tips for using the Japanese language on your request. My interests are food, cooking, sake and wine as well as Japanese novels and movies. It would be possible to add those tastes to our tour including a visit to local wineries, movie scenes, etc... Finally, I will do my best to give you a pleasant stay. Looking forward to seeing you in Hokuriku!
