About Tour Guide Yukiko F.
I'm Yukiko. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job.
I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am 3T lover- Travel, Tea ceremony and Traditional and modern arts. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children.
I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide.
My main tour area are Tokyo, Kamakura, Yokohama, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Gunma and Nikko. It's a private personalized tour so that I'd be happy to discuss about it with you in advance to make your tour pleasant. We can include Japanese cultural experiences if you'd like.
I also have done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. I took the plunge, it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills.
I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. I've experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed.
I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime.

2hours -Tokyo National Museum Tour
Tokyo National Museum is the best place for learning comprehensive arts and history. It has about 90 National treasures such as Japanese painting, Japanese swords, armors, traditional crafts, calligraphy. To appreciate art, you need to know its background, and the description of exhibits are not enough to understand. I've been drawing Japanese painting, practicing martial arts and learning about Katana, swords under Japanese sword expert. Let's join a museum tour to enrich your knowledge!

“Great time with Yukiko at Tokyo National Museum”
Yukiko was very helpful in navigating us through the museum and ensuring we saw the highlights while also following our lead. She brought some extra items, like calligraphy paper, in her bag as well as showed additional photos on her ipad which was a nice touch and allowed us to learn even more and have a more in depth experience. We very much enjoyed our time and her company!

“Yukiko - The best of the best ”
Yukiko was amazing from the start. She came dressed in a traditional komono. She prepared a unique booklet for the sites we were going to visit, but as we got tired, she immediately gave us other options. We explored true back streets where few tourists go. Her knowledge is encyclopedic but is presented in an easy to digest way. We traveled by taxi and subway.

I had very enjoyable time with you. Thank you very much and Domo Arigatou Gozaimashita!

Masahiro N.
Hallo!Zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro. Mein Nickname ist Masa. Ich war nach meinem Studium in Tokio von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Da ich solch eine Brücke zwischen deutschen Räumen und Japan sein möchte, mache ich diesen Job als Reiseführer. Ich habe das Gefühl,dass das eine Mission meines Lebens ist. Ich habe Erfahrungen meine Kunden zu führen , in Tokio, Kamakura, in der Nähe von Fuji-Berg, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe und Nagasaki….und so weiter… Ich wohne jetzt in der Nähe von Tokio . Deswegen ist es mir einfach, in Tokio und in der Nähe von Tokio zu führen. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente , neue Entdeckungen, Begegnungen, sogar einen Kulturschock! Ich freue mich sehr auf unsere Reise in Japan!

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.
