“Sankeien Garden and Costco with Tokiko”
My wife and I just returned to Los Angeles from our 16 day tour and cruise vacation in Japan. One of our best experiences was with Tokiko on our very first day, when we visited the Yokohama Costco, Sankeien Garden, and lunch. Tokiko is a deeply knowledgeable and very warm person, far better than nearly all the guides we had on our shore excursions. The Costco has some sensational produce, fish, and sushi products. The garden was packed with visitors at peak cherry blossom season; there were traditional weddings, a monkey show, scores of playing children and multi-generational families. Thank you, Tokiko, for making our first day in your city and country so memorable!

“Excellent Chinatown tour and lunch with Tokiko”
My wife and I enjoyed a thorough and fascinating tour of Chinatown in Yokohama, followed by a delicious lunch. Tokiko is highly informed, patient, and willing to improvise as needed. (We tourists can be maddeningly whimsical!) We give her our enthusiastic recommendation.

“Toki is the best! ”
Had a great day in Tokyo with Tokiko leading the way. She got our input up front on the types of places we wanted to see, then suggested an itinerary that had a mix of common and uncommon places to see. Good communication along the way, and she shared a ton of knowledge with us about Japan, its history and its culture. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a guide in Tokyo!

Hello, my dear would-be guests! My name is Hiroko. People call me Hiro for short. I am a government licensed guide. Here I am to make your time in a tour full of fun and provide you an unforgettable travel experience of your life. I grew up and live in Yokohama that is adjacent to Tokyo. After many years of several English-related job experiences, such as translating, teaching, desk work, etc., I finally found this job, tour guide, which is a perfect fit for my true nature. I love meeting people, having fun with people, and am always looking for something interesting wanting to share it with people. How about spending a part of your precious time here in Japan with this cheerful, friendly and well-informed tour guide, Hiro?

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
