About Tour Guide Yuki K.
I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015.
Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
Important
There is little restriction due to COVID 19 in 2023. I was vaccinated six times with the Pfizer one.

“ Gardens and More! ”
Thanks Yuki for a great first day in Tokyo. Yuki picked us up from our accommodations and clearly explained where we’d go and how we would get there. We visited Happo-En, the Imperial Palace Gardens, Asakusa and at the end Yuki delivered us to the SkyTree where our tour concluded. We had a delicious lunch which he recommended and everything went smoothly. It was a good introduction to Tokyo and using the train system. Yuki’s enthusiasm and knowledge was valuable. Highly recommended. Thanks Yuki!

Dear Petre Thank you for writing the great reviews on all of the tours you took. Food is very important in my tour and you are a perfect guest for my tours. You ate ramen, sushi, Kobe beef, Chinese dishes, pork cutlet, and cooked Fugu with excellent sake. I'll take you to taste raw Fugu next time. Yuki

A very nice tour of Yokohama with a visit to the observatory, a beautiful Japanese garden with fish and turtle feeding. A Chinese city tour with a great lunch at an amazing restaurant.
