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.

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.

“An Exceptional Tour with an Amazing Guide”
The reason we enjoy personal tours is so our needs are met. Yukiko, a highly knowledgeable guide, was respectful of our needs and flexible about time. We remained longer at the first spot and grew tired before completing the day’s agenda. Yukiko went over and beyond to help us locate a business we could never have found on our own. Her kindness and consideration, as well as tenacity and patience, are deeply appreciated. Touring with Yukiko ensures a lovely day!

Dear Karen, Thank you for your great review! You are not only a nice couple but also so intelligent and warm hearted. The tour did not go as we planned for inevitable reasons, yet you were so generous and kind and appreciated every moment during the tour. They listened to my explanations of Japanese history so earnestly. On the way, we talked a lot, and their family history was a great study for me. I was very much impressed by their personality. I really wanted to show you more and take Dennis to the brewery. Yukiko

“Tour of Ueno and Tokyo Station with Yukiko”
Yukiko went at our pace and made adjustments to the tour because she saw that we were tired from the previous sightseeing. She was friendly and knowledgeable. Arigato Yukiko!

Dear Stephen and Gaby, Thank you so much for your great review! You were such good listeners and so warm-hearted that I enjoyed being with you. Stephen and I planned the itinerary precisely and Gaby liked it. I hope the last day in Tokyo will be a good memory for you. Have a nice trip ! Yukiko

“A Wonderful Introduction to the Magic of Tokyo”
I found and arranged for Yukiko to guide a few of my good friends from Seattle who were visiting Japan and exploring Tokyo for the very first time. Since I’m from Tokyo and they’re dear friends, I really wanted them to have a wonderful experience in my hometown, and I knew Yukiko would be the perfect guide. Even weeks before their trip, Yukiko was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough in answering all of our questions and requests. I immediately felt confident that I had found someone who was not only warm and friendly, but also professional and very knowledgeable about Tokyo. My friends had such a wonderful time exploring Tokyo with her! Here’s the message they sent Yukiko afterward: “Hello Yukiko, We just wanted to say thank you again for being so patient with us and taking us around to see the magic of Tokyo!!! We really enjoyed ourselves and so appreciate you and your time.” Thank you, Yukiko, for making their very first trip to Japan so special! We truly appreciate you and highly recommend her!
Yukiko K.
Dear Kaoru, Thank you for your great review with the kind message of my guests! As she is their dear friend, her information on them was a great help. We discussed even how to teach them the way to reach every destination according to their schedule after the day of my tour. I made a plan for them to experience Tokyo. They were excited to see everything in Tokyo and always had good reactions, which made me inspire my spirit as a guide. They earnestly listened to my explanations of Japanese history and had empathy reading traditional Japanese poems by Emperor Meiji and the Empress. They were so kind and friendly that I enjoyed being with them. They are such good friends and a good team. At the end of our trip, I felt as if I were a member of their team including Kaoru. Yukiko

Hello, I was born in 1956 in Hiroshima and have lived in Tokyo for over 40 years. I have a license of “National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter”. I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf. I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s. It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season. Especially in spring time, cherry blossoms in full bloom welcome you. Japan is a safe country, meals are very delicious, and you can explore Japanese great history at the spiritual places of shrines and temples. Please contact me. You are assured to have an enjoyable and memorial trip. I'm looking forward to having wonderful time with you. See you!

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!

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. I myself love travel freely. That's how I love helping individual travelers like you. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love and sharing my seasonal favorites. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I often spend multiple days with the same group to accommodate itinerary for multi days by including my seasonal favorites. I often do Mt.Fuji or Hakone tour. In many cases, the locations are mixed up between Mt.Fuji Five Lakes area and Hakone area, which are not the same place. Please refer to the map I uploaded on gallery to check the sites you are interested in. Also my blogs will help your understanding both areas - "The location difference of Mt.Fuji (Fuji Five Lakes) and Hakone". As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. But more than that, I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!
