I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015.
Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan has been closed to foreign travelers since March, 2020. This restriction has been eased since October 11th, 2022 but you still need to vaccinated three and more times or have a certificate of COVID-19 negative . Please ask me the availability of the tour before you book it. I was vaccinated four times with the Pfizer one.
We had a great day with Yuki seeing 2 sights and participating in a tea ceremony. Had a great time!
Dear Justine, Thank you for taking time for the review. I thought there were too many participants in the tea ceremony, but we should have accepted it according to one time one meeting attitude. Yuki
Our days with Yuki were all that we hoped for and more. He was exceptionally skilled at organizing our time, so we could see as much as possible, at an enjoyable pace. He is very knowledgeable about historical and current Japanese culture. He knows the transportation system like the back of his hand, including Kyoto and Kamakura. He was the best!!!
Dear Calra, Thank you for writing the review. Since you are interested in Japanese antiques, we visited the gallery of Nijyo castle in Kyoto. It was my first time, but I found it very good to see the paintings at close range. Please give my best regards to Jeff. Yuki

Dear Carla, Thank you for writing the review of my tour. Since you are interested in Japanese antiques, we visited not so popular galleries of a temple and shrine in Kamakura. I enjoyed these galleries, too. Thank you for taking my tour! Yuki
Managed the tour well. Suggested good options as the road had traffic congestions. We were very happy
Dear Manish, Thank you for writing the review of my tour. It was a special tour for strawberry picking. Although we had no time to see the cherry blossoms in Kawazu, we had a good time at the Mishima Sky Walk, which is a 400m suspension bridge with the view of Mt. Fuji. Best regards, Yuki
