About Tour Guide Yukiko K.
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.
Important
I can guide you in Kamakura if you pay my transportation fee.

TOKYO Tour of your choices
If this is your first trip to Tokyo or your first time to have free time in Tokyo, I recommend visiting "three" major spots of your choice, I will show you the brief history of Japan from the Edo Period to the Meiji Period by explaining these spots. You can also enjoy shopping in this trip if you want, I want you to know two sides of Tokyo; historical side and modern side.

Highlights of Kamakura
Kamakura was the first capital of Samurai government in Japan. It is not only a historical city with about 100 shrines and temples but also a city with beautiful nature surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing the sea to the south. It has a brave culture based on Zen Buddhism. If you are interested in Japanese history and culture and you like nature, this trip will satisfy you.

Half Day Trip in Tokyo
Begin the day with a visit to Meiji Shrine, the largest shrine in Tokyo. In the afternoon, you can choose between exploring Asakusa—home to Sensoji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo—or the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, which was once the site of Edo Castle. You can see both old and modern sides of Tokyo in a short time. We will use mainly public transportation system like subway and trains, yet according to the situation we can catch a taxi.

“A Great 1st Day in Japan”
We hired Yukiko for our first day in Tokyo (and Japan) to help us get our bearings. She ended up being a perfect choice. She is conscientious, visiting our hotel a day early to make sure things went smoothly. She patiently showed us the ropes, helping us figure out how to pay fares and navigate the subway, so we could function on our own. She organized the day to visit three sites, each a subway ride apart, and was an informed and enthusiastic tour guide, having prepared handouts with the history of each place and kept a fast pace to make sure we got the most out of each site.

Yukiko K.
Dear Gail and Doug, Thank you for your great review! The impression you gave me was so bright although it was cloudy that day. You were such good listeners of my explanation and you gave me keen questions. You were so intelligent and seemed to appreciate every moment in my tour. You were interested in everything I explained especially about Japanese history, culture and architecture(Doug was an architect.) Your eagerness inspired me as a guide. Doug's jokes and Gail's smile made me happy and I felt comfortable being with them. I hope that dense day will be any help to your trip. It was hard to say good-by to you as I enjoyed being with you. Yukiko

Yukiko was absolutely wonderful. She met us at our hotel, making everything effortless from the start, and guided us through a perfectly planned half‑day tour. She is knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly easy to spend time with. We loved every moment and would happily book with her again.

“The Best Decision We Made in Japan, Touring with Yukiko”
Our tour with Yukiko was outstanding. She met us at our hotel, which made everything so easy, and from that moment on the day flowed perfectly. Her knowledge of Tokyo was exceptional, and she made sure every part of the tour matched what we wanted to see and experience. Yukiko is warm, caring, and incredibly generous with her time and information. Having her as our guide truly elevated our trip, it was honestly one of the best decisions we made in Japan. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Yukiko. Thanks Tammy & Kim.

Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald 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.
