About Tour Guide Yukiko F.

I'm Yukiko Fujii. 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've done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. Since I am one of a few guides who tried virtual tour in Tokyo during pandemic, it was a challenging, but it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills.


I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children as well.


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.


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. There are some common thinking between Tour guide and Nurse, both jobs are required to put myself into their shoes. I'll make plans considering their physical conditions and will arrange any supports after discussing about the tour.  I've already 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.   

I'm looking forward to meeting you in my tour! Arigatou!

Full day tour with Yukiko

Yukiko greeted us at our hotel, was friendly, warm and knowledgeable. She explained the train system, customs and words/phrases. We first went to Imperial Garden where she provided visual information as well as interesting facts about Japanese royal families. We were so lucky to see cherry blossoms in bloom on the premises, as well as a beautiful garden with a pond and koi. Next we went to Asakusa and had amazing pork tonkatsu, during lunch she had a cute origami craft for my daughter to try while we waited for lunch. Yukiko provided info on the various shrines, typical customs, and the shopping area. She even had umbrellas for us to use as it was raining off and on throughout the day. We were very happy that Yukiko was with us during our first trip to Japan.

Thank you for the review of your tour! We were fortunate to see beautiful cherry blossoms on this day. When we talked about many different topics between your country and Japan, I remembered my good memories in Canada. It was my pleasure to share Japanese cultural activities to your daughter. Hopefully, it will become an enjoyable and unforgettable memory for all. Domo Arigatou!

Half day Meiji shrine, Harajuku, Shibuya

Yukiko went out of her way to accommodate our schedule: first meeting us after we finished TeamLabs Borderless, bringing us to a lovely lunch area, providing us with historical facts and arranging a treasure hunt for my daughter at Meiji Shrine, tour of Takeshita Street in Harajuku where we had a cute experience at Purikura land NOA photobooth and Shibuya scramble crossing. She went out of her way to make sure the food my daughter consumed did not have any nuts, during lunch and at the churro place in Harajuku. Yukiko also had an activity for my daughter while we were waiting for our lunch. Along the way, Yukiko taught us Japanese words/phrases, how the train system works and was so easy to talk to. She was part of our family for the today. Thank you Yukiko!

Thank you for your wonderful review of the tour! I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the tour through many fun activities like a local. Enjoy your journey in Japan and bring back a lot of memories with you. Thank you once again, Domo Arigatou! Mata Aimasho!

Yukiko is the best!

My husband and I had the immense pleasure of doing a private tour with Yukiko right before the New Year's holiday. She was very responsive during the booking process, quick to make suggestions based on the vague ideas I gave her, and planned the perfect itinerary for us. She met us promptly for the day, was easy and very enjoyable to talk to, very prepared, and we learned so much from the experience. She was also very adaptive as the day went on; I mentioned I wanted to buy a specific gift for a family member, and she adjusted our itinerary on the fly to make that happen. We have been raving about Yukiko to anyone who asks about our trip and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Japan

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special. Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level. I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan. Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country. I look forward to meeting you soon! Depending on your tour and needs, my teammates Kei and Ethan may also join to help ensure the best experience.

*Bookings for cherry blossom season are full; if the date on the calendar is greyed out I am not available* Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. This passion led me to pass the N2 Japanese Language Proficiency Test in 2018, study at language schools across Japan, and graduate from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve traveled to every prefecture in Japan, often using unlimited rail passes to explore castles, historic sites, and regional specialties. I hold a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and my extensive experience living in Tokyo has made me an expert on the city’s transportation system, hidden gems, and affordable eats. With over 30 visits to Kyoto, I have deep knowledge of its historical sites and the broader cultural landscape of Japan. I studied at Japanese language school in Kyoto. I visited all the world heritage sites in Kyoto and have a lot of knowledge on the history of Japan. I can provide tours of Kyoto or places outside of Tokyo for an additional transportation fee. Tour options: Half-Day Tour: 20,000 yen (4 hours) Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen plus transportation expense
