“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 to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii
