About Tour Guide Yuko O.
Hello, potential tourists!
I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license.
I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015.
Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan.
It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well.
However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan,
without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities.
Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan !
Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now!
Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ?
Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city.
See you in Yokohama, Japan!

“Fabulous Customized Tour With Yuko”
Yuko treated my family to a wonderfully diverse and fun-filled Tokyo tour that everyone from ages 14 to 75 thoroughly enjoyed. From winding our way through various train hubs to ride the complex Japanese public transportation system, to getting good fortune at a Buddist temple, eating delicious monja prepared tableside by talented waiters in a famous restaurant, visiting the picturesque Odaiba area for some beautiful foto ops, popping in and out of ceramic and kitchen supply shops for the 2 chefs in our family, learning Samurai and Ninja history, and finding a small, out of the way melon bread shop, it was a full day of sensory experiences. Yuko went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had the best first day in Tokyo. A huge thank you to Yuko, our knowledgeable and welcoming tour guide, for all her hard work behind the scenes to pull off this very special tour.

Thank you, Karen, for your excellent review. I myself really enjoyed spending the day with such a wonderful family like yours. I will always remember that day. Your help in getting us to and from Yokohama and Tokyo on a very hot day, and to each of the sites we visited, made the whole thing run smoothly. It was a very challenging itinerary for our guests, but we were able to pull it off with great cooperation. You all are truly a wonderful family! We hope you will have another opportunity to visit Japan again! We look forward to seeing you again!

“Perfect day in Kamakura”
Yuko was very organized, took care of everything, and provided very useful information. In addition to that she was flexible and amended the programme during the tour by adding a visit to Enoshima because we asked for it. Really great tour.
Yuko O.
Dear Joachim, Thank you very much for a perfect review, which is really appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you liked Kamakura, and I also enjoyed it because of "WITH you", wonderful father & son. I was very impressed by your active walking, especially to hear that you climbed to the top of Enoshima without using "escar" quickly, and patience in the crowded train like a sardine. You are super-active, as well as ultra-smart ! If you have another chance to come to this area, please include Yokohama, my city. If I have a chance, I'd love to go to your country ! Have a nice trip to Kyoto, and see you in the future again !

Have a nice trip in Japan !, and Good luck for all of you ! Yuko

Hi, I’m Yacco, a friendly and passionate local guide. I was born and raised in Shizuoka and have lived in Yokohama for over 30 years. For the past several years, I’ve been guiding international visitors in Kamakura, Yokohama, and Tokyo as a volunteer, helping them discover the rich history, culture, and hidden charm of these unique cities. Traveling abroad creates once-in-a-lifetime memories, and I would love for you to fully experience the beauty and spirit of my favorite towns. I not only enjoy showing historical and modern landmarks, but also love introducing quiet backstreets, seasonal flowers, cozy cafés, and delicious local food that reflect the charm of everyday life. What I enjoy most is comparing Japanese traditions with my guests’ own cultures and histories—these conversations often lead to deep and inspiring exchanges. As your guide, I’m happy to customize tours based on your interests, whether you’re seeking unique experiences, historical insights, or local flavors. Let’s walk, talk, and create unforgettable memories together!

Hallo alle meine Gäste! Vielen lieben Dank, dass Sie meine Profilseite besuchen! Ich heiße Ayami. Ich bin in Osaka geboren, aber in Yokohama aufgewachsen. Ich habe in Tokyo studiert, deswegen kenne ich mich gut auch in dieser Gegend aus. An der Uni habe ich Germanistik studiert. Mein erstes Mal in Deutschland war 2012, als ich Studentin war, und damals habe ich einen Monat in München einen Deutschkurs gemacht. Da habe ich viel erlebt und erfahrt und war total begeistert für die deutsche Kultur, Sitten, einfach alles, natürlich Leute auch :) Nach dem Studium bin ich nach Deutschland (München und Augsburg) geflogen, um richtig Deutsch zu lernen. In den Schulzeiten habe ich viele Erfahrungen in der Gastronomie gesammelt. In Deutschland habe ich als Kellnerin in einem japanischen Restaurant und Japanischlehrerin gearbeitet. Aktuell bin ich auch private Japanischlehrerin (ich habe auch einen Vertrag mit der amerikanischen Marine) und gelegentlich Reiseführerin. Mein Hobbies sind Reisen, Lesen, Kochen, etwas Süßes backen usw. Ich würde Sie sehr gerne Tokyo bzw Yokohama oder Kamakura und Yokosuka zeigen :)

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 more than 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.
