“Amazing introduction to Tokyo with Kana”
My fourteeen year old son and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Kana exploring Shibuya, Asakusa and Harajuku. Kana was so considerate of our needs, particularly of my son, taking him to places where he could purchase Pokémon cards and enjoy some teen culture and food. Kana also helped to introduce us to the rail system which was invaluable in the following days in Tokyo. Kana is a wonderfully warm and considerate guide. My son and I really enjoyed the day with her speaking about life in Tokyo and getting a better understanding of the Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Kana as a guide - we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.

“Great first day in Tokyo”
We really enjoyed touring Tokyo on our first day with Kana. We didn’t have to worry about anything. She knew exactly where to take us, so we had no struggles with directions or where to go. She was very sweet and thoughtful and being with her for the day was a pleasure.

“Excellent Valuable Custom Tours with Kana ”
I am so grateful I had Kana for 2 days to arrange my Itineraries from my wish list. Kana is an excellent communicator and provided thorough followup to ensure places we went to were done in the most efficient way. Efficient messages were communicated planning daily activities and all the details and transportation requirements were done by Kana. The Tokyo subway system is very challenging and having Kana saves much time and stress for a visitor. Kana helped get me get a Suica Passmo subway train pass which was used frequently each day with her. After the first day of frequently pulling out my card from my purse, on our second day she brought me a pass holder to put around my neck to make it easy for me to have my pass ready to scan. There are always others behind you waiting to do the same. Always considerate, pleasant and helpful with a pleasing personality, Kana helped make the trip a pleasant and memorable one. Having a dedicated guide who lives in Tokyo manage the subway while we went to different areas and can share knowledge was the best. I felt so comfortable with her months before my trip exchanging email Itinerary details and the same comfort level continued meeting her in our Hotel lobby. I cannot say enough positive things about this punctual young woman and I highly recommend Kana to ensure you see every activity you are interested in. I wanted to see the Fukagawa Fudo Fire Ceremony and Kana offered to start our tour 1/2 hour earlier that day to attend the scheduled time ceremony before going to other areas of the City for different activities. To have a custom tour with how you want to spend your time with an expert was the best decision. She managed our time to ensure we had the required time to travel to each area. Thank you Kana!

Thank you for the opportunity to meet you and hope to see you somewhere again! Best regards, Kana,

My name is Yukiko . I have a national license for a tour guide in English. I live in Tokyo on weekdays and go back to my house in Kamakura on weekend. I like both cities. Tokyo is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Kamakura is a traditional city with history and nature. I like communicating with people. My family and I had homestay students from all over the world and my children call me "mother of the world." I like learning foreign languages. I speak a little German and I learned a little Italian last year. I also have a license for teaching Japanese to foreigners as a second language. It would be a great pleasure for me to make your trip to Japan more valuable and impressive through my explanation of Japanese culture and history, I am looking forward to seeing you.

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!
