About Tour Guide Yui A.
Konnichiwa! Hello! Hola! Nihao! Namaste! Anyoung Haseyo! Bonjour and Kuzu Zangpo La!
My name is Yui, a Tokyo/Yokohama-based certified tour guide. Having been born and raised in the outskirts of Yokohama, I would call both the harbor city and the capital of Japan my neighborhood. What I love most about these areas is how each place has developed as a modern city while embracing its history and traditions. Being a globe-trotter myself (you can make a guess at places I have been), I enjoy every encounter with new culture/scenery/people and it would be my absolute pleasure if I could help you to experience the same and make the most of your stay in Japan! Do not hesitate to shoot me a message, any inquiry is welcome!
Things I enjoy: art (paintings), spontaneous walk, sake, noodles, cute animals (furry, feathered and scaly!)
Important
From June 2022 onwards: schedule is quite limited but I try my best to accommodate your request. Please do not hesitate to send me an inquiry about availability.

It's totally insta-worthy, but not just that! In this tour, we will visit some must-see places in Shibuya & Minato area.

Excursion at Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum
40-minute train+bus ride from Shinjuku will take you back in time. At Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, 30+ buildings as old as centuries have been reconstructed, relocated and preserved on its ground. Not only can you appreciate marvelous exterior which you will hardly be able to find in modern Tokyo, but you can actually step inside and look into every detail in the buildings. There is no better place to offer fascinating insights into everyday life in Japan’s good old days!
Best Bits of Tsukiji & Ginza
Did you know that Japan's bustling fish market and high-end shopping district are actually located very close to each other? In this walking tour, you will discover several different aspects of Tokyo in ONE DAY. Please feel free to send me an inquiry! #JapaneseGarden #Sushi #BuddhistTemple #Kabuki #ShoppingSpree

“A wonderful guide.”
Yui was a lot of fun to be with. She took us to as much as possible on our list, and we were all exhausted at the end. She had suggested doing the Kill Bill restaurant in her itinerary, and we enjoyed that along with the rest of the day. It was a busy, fun day, and we thank her for that

Thanks for your kind words Darron! It was quite an adventure for me as well and I am grateful that you had me as your guide for the day! I do hope to see you both again soon! Arigato! Yui

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
