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!!

“Lovely day with Yasuko”
We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide, Yasuko, from Shimizu port! From the moment we met, she was punctual and professional, setting a perfect tone for the day. Her deep knowledge of the area’s history, culture, and neighborhoods gave us such a rich and meaningful introduction to Mt. Fuji. What truly stood out was how personable and engaging Yasuko was — it felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend. She was thoughtful, flexible, and made sure the tour suited our family’s interests and pace. We visited the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine with lovely views of Mt. Fuji, had a local lunch of Fujinomiya Yakisoba, made a brief run through of the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center. Our last stop of the day was a private tour of the Takasago Sake Brewery where we bought sake that is not imported to the states. It was the perfect way to spend our time in the Mt. Fuji area, and we’re so grateful to have had Yasuko as our guide. Highly recommend!

“Wonderful Day with Yasuko – Highly Recommended!”
My family and I had a fantastic experience with Yasuko as our guide. From the moment she met us at our cruise ship, she was warm, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. She expertly guided us through various trains and buses — including the bullet train — to reach Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha, where we enjoyed a walk through the shrine grounds. Our next stop was the World Heritage Fujisan Center, where we hoped to catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji. Though it had been hidden behind clouds all day, Yasuko worked her magic (we joke she made the clouds clear!) and just as we reached the top of the World Heritage Fujisan Center the Mountain revealed itself in all its glory. She then took us to a wonderful local restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal together — a real highlight. At the end of the tour, Yasuko surprised us with handmade origami of Mt. Fuji and cranes. We highly recommend Yasuko to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated guide. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Hi! I am Macky. I am glad to accompany you on your tour to Japan and show you the beauty and experiences Japan has to offer. I am an English tour guide and I have guided many foreign visitors around Kamakura, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and Hakone. I love sightseeing myself and I enjoy food and wine… I have been interested in intercultural exchanges and have visited many places locally and overseas alike. I have strong passion in Japanese history, culture, and geography. More than just simply showing you the stunning beauty of the places, I love to impart the cultural and historical value of each sightseeing spot. The place I can guide tourists best is Kamakura which has major shrines and temples with historical and religious details. It can be fun not only to explore Kamakura from historical point of view but also experience various activities such as hiking, rental kimono-clad walking, and learning carving technique as well as soba noodle preparation. I am flexible. My guide is unique and comprehensive. If you want to make the most out of your trip, I can show you around and make you experience Japan to the fullest. I can accommodate the tour according to your needs and preferences giving you a hassle-free, enjoyable and memorable tour. I can also take you to non tourism places such as various factory tours in Yokohama and Kawasaki City.
