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!!

“Please refer to my other review.”
Read the review for the 1.5 additional hour. It was part of this tour as an add on and it applies to this.

“An amazing Mt. Fuji experience with Yasuko”
My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Yasuko. She carefully curated an unforgettable stop in Shimizu while our ship was docked for the day. We got to have a tour of an historic sake brewery, eat fried noodles in a cool area, topped off with gelato (I got the Mt. Fuji cone), a ride on the bullet train and a visit to the Mt. Fuji visitor center. Yasuko, in addition to being an excellent tour guide, is an English teacher and we were able to understand what she was saying. It was a delightful visit all around. You won’t regret spending time with Yasuko in her city!

Thank you for an excellent review. Marcy san. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed my tour. Visiting Takasago Sake Brewery would be a good experience for you. Unfortunately, we couldn't see a clear view of Mt.Fuji in Fujinomiya. But you could see it at the port in the morning. I appreciate your cooperation in making the tour smoothly.

“Shimizu Port Tour with Yasuko – A Memorable Day in Mt. Fuji’s Shadow”
We had a private van tour arranged at Shimizu Port with Yasuko as our guide. Although Mt. Fuji remained hidden behind clouds, the experience was unforgettable. Yasuko was incredibly knowledgeable and shared rich cultural and historical insights throughout the day. Our stops included the stunning Shiraito Waterfall, a peaceful visit to Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, and the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, where we learned more about the sacred mountain’s significance. We enjoyed a flavorful local lunch of Fujinomiya yakisoba (fried noodles), and later relaxed with an excellent coffee break at Fuji Coffee Roasters. Yasuko’s authenticity, warmth, and attention to detail made this tour truly special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Thank you so much for an excellent review, LInda san. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my tour, even though we couldn't see Mt.Fuji clearly. I appreciate you and your friends for the tour going very smoothly. Finally, you could see a view of Mt.Fuji at the port. What a relief.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

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.
