About Tour Guide Yasuko Y.

Welcome to Shizuoka in the central area of Japan.

I was born in Hakone, Kanagawa Pref. and grew up in Izu Peninsula, also studied English at Kanagawa University in Yokohama.

After graduation, I have traveled to a lot of countries such as Europe, U, S., Asia and lived in Australia for a year. I had a great time to visit there to have a wonderful experience.

So I decided to become a licensed tour guide for introducing Japan to foreign tourists.

Now I live in Izu which is close to Mt.Fuji and Hakone.

I'm interested in Arts, Hot Springs, traditional places and of course delicious food.

I would like to introduce beautiful Izu which has lots of Geopark sites and traditional Hot spring resort "Shuzenji, Nagaoka, and so on.

Please Enjoy this area together!!

Bienvenidos

Important

I can guide you in Yokohama, Tokyo, and Hakone if you pay my transportation fee.

“SHIMIZU TOUR”

Yasuko Y. arrived at the cruise terminal on time. Instead of a group of four, only two people went. Our Chilean friends took the tour of the Castle Park in Shimizu. Since Spanish is not her native language, fluency is not her strong suit; she struggles to express herself in Spanish. The main complaints from the couple who took the tour concerned the taxis cost, the wait time for the taxi to arrive, and the taste of the food served during lunch. They did not like the meal they were given and left their plates completely full.

Yasuko Y.

Dear Javier, First of all, thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I apologize to the couple for not being fluent enough in Spanish during the tour and for not being able to provide a thorough explanation. I also believe I may not have explained the taxi fare and waiting time clearly enough. I’m sorry that the light meal I recommended—instead of a full lunch—didn’t suit their taste. I will take this into consideration for future tours. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both of them for participating. Finally, I think the highlights were seeing Mount Fuji and that they were able to enjoy the matcha and the Japanese garden.

“Excellent choice”

We came straight from our cruise, and she welcomed us with real warmth and energy, she shared great info, and kept the day engaging. What really stood out was how smoothly she guided us through transportation systems. We never felt lost or stressed. We stayed active, learned a ton, and felt truly cared for. She was an excellent guide. We highly recommend her!

Yasuko Y.

Thank you for a good review, Evelyn san & your friends. I'm so happy to hear that you all enjoyed my tour to Fujinomiya area. We were lucky to be able to see Mt.Fuji. I really appreciate your cooperation to go the tour smoothly.

“Kind, Knowledgeable, and Overall Great!”

Yasuko was truly the best guide we could’ve had for our first time in Shimizu! She was always kind and very knowledgeable when it came to local and authentic experiences. It was a pleasure having her as our guide and would recommend her to anyone!

Yasuko Y.

Thank you so much for a good review, Jada san and your family. I'm so happy to hear that you all enjoyed my tour, though we couldn't see a view of Mt.Fuji at all. I really appreciate your cooperation of going the tour smoothly.
