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.

“Amazing Half‑Day Tour with 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.

Dear Tammy, Thank you so much for your kind review. It was the first morning after you arrived in Japan that I met you at your hotel You were so excited and listened to me very earnestly. You seemed to enjoy every moment during the tour and I learned from you that the true meaning of a trip is to enjoy. Kim has a good direction and Tammy has a good point of view. You are so friendly and thanked everything. We were not only a guide and the guests but also became good friends. Thank you again for your kindness and nice time with you. Yukiko now still from Holland

“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.

Dear Tammy, Thank you for your great review. You are the best team for a journey. At the moment I saw you at your hotel, you were so lively that I expected nice tours with you. You were interested in everything I explained. So, you experienced modern and historical sides of Tokyo and appreciated nature and history in Kamakura.You are such attractive ladies with a good sense of humour that I really enjoyed talking with you. I laughed the most during my tours in my life. I felt we understood each other. Please give my best regards to your best friend. Kim. P.S. Thank you for nice pictures. Photos in Kamakura are perfect and especially I am glad to get the first one. now in Holland, Yukiko

“Lovely Day in Tokyo”
My husband and I did the 6 hour tour our first day after arriving in Tokyo and it was a great start to our trip. We chose to have Yukiko take us to the Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Gardens and the Senso-ji Temple. She took us on the subway and showed us a few shortcuts to navigate our way around. She gave us background and history for the sites we visited and answered all our questions. We had lunch together and enjoyed learning about her life in Tokyo and about her family. We highly recommend Yukiko!
Yukiko K.
Dear Susan and Paul, Thank you for a nice review! You were so interested in and the best listeners of my explanation of brief Japanese history. It was a great pleasure for me that we had empathy when I introduced the poem by Emperor Meiji on world peace. You were so kind, followed me very well and asked me a lot of keen questions I know that you are a nice couple and have a good family. I enjoyed being with you very much. Yukiko

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.
