Yukiko is an exceptional tour guide! She is knowledgeable, kind, caring, extremely flexible, and truly responsive. She seamlessly navigates both Tokyo and Kamakura. The cultural sites and experiences, as well as the restaurants, are extraordinary. In addition, she meets the specific wishes and needs of all family members, including offering pre-planned breaks for seniors and pre-planned cultural activities for young children. She also takes amazing photos. Overall, if you want to learn, laugh, play, eat, and leave the tour having grown in knowledge and understanding of Japan - then we highly recommend Yukiko. She is an absolute delight and we look forward to returning to Japan, and enjoying tours to Yokohama and Hakone with Yukiko. Thank you, Yukiko!
Thank you so much your heartwarming review! I am so glad to hear that. It was a memorable and so delightful to spend 2 days together in Tokyo and Kamakura, very meaningful places for your family. I am always here and look forward to meeting you again! Domo Arigato!
We had 4 fantastic days with Yukiko. One of our adult children has a disability and doesn't tolerate heat or a lot of walking very well, but Yukiko planned everything very well and had arranged for a car to drop us off/pick us back up at extremely convenient locations. She added some sites to our tour as we went along based on our interests (i.e. architectural sites outside of Tokyo center on our way back from Ghibli Museum) which was a treat. Having someone with a nursing background was a huge reassurance to me in case I needed to navigate the health care system. Final bonus was her amazing options for lunches - she gave us some options to choose from ahead of our trip, and we chose the ones that sounded the best to us. She had reservations ready, and all of the lunches were amazing and a highlight as well. Thank you, Yukiko!
Thank you for the wonderful review of my tour! I truly appreciate it. I'm pleased to hear those 4 days tour was memorable and enjoyable for you. It's a great memory as once in a lifetime opportunity for myself as well. Thank you once again, have a great journey in Japan!!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Yukiko as our tour guide in Tokyo! Myself and my two parents spent two fantastic days exploring the city's historical sites and vibrant neighborhoods, thanks to Yukiko's expert guidance. She took us to special nooks and crannies that we would have never discovered on our own, making our trip truly unforgettable. Yukiko's deep knowledge, warm personality, and attention to detail ensured we had an enriching and enjoyable time. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! So happy to hear your feedback of my tour. Every moment that we spent together was fun and we explored neighborhoods like locals. Your words encouraged me a lot and it became a great motivation for my future tours. Thank you once again, hope to see you again in the future! Domo Arigatou!!
Our first stop was the serene Fukagawa Buddhist Temple, nestled amidst the tranquil surroundings of Tokyo's old town. Stepping onto the temple grounds felt like entering a sanctuary of peace, far removed from the bustling city streets. Our guide illuminated the intricacies of Buddhist rituals and symbolism, inviting us to partake in a traditional fire ceremony that left us with a sense of serenity and mindfulness. Next, we ventured to the mystical Nazu Shrine, hidden away in a secluded corner of Tokyo. As we meandered through the forested paths leading to the shrine, a sense of reverence washed over us. Our guide shared captivating stories of Shinto mythology, unveiling the deep connection between nature and spirituality in Japanese culture. With each step, we felt a profound sense of harmony with the natural world. The tour then brought us to the iconic Senso-ji Temple, a beacon of spirituality amidst the bustling streets of Asakusa. The temple's vibrant red gate, or "Kaminarimon," welcomed us with open arms, leading us into a realm of ancient rituals and timeless traditions. Amidst the throngs of visitors, our guide illuminated the temple's storied history and the significance of its sacred artifacts, allowing us to glimpse into Japan's rich cultural tapestry. Our final destination was the majestic Meiji Jingu Shrine, nestled amidst the lush greenery of Yoyogi Park. Stepping through the towering torii gates, we were enveloped in a sense of reverence, as if entering a sacred realm. Our guide shared poignant tales of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, whose spirits are enshrined here, offering prayers for peace and prosperity in their honor. Yukiko's tour provided a perfect balance of historical insights, cultural immersion, and modern exploration, making it a must-do for anyone seeking to uncover the hidden gems of Tokyo. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this tour offers a captivating glimpse into the soul of Japan's dynamic capital.

It's possible to imagine easily what we saw, what we did and how we felt in our exploring Tokyo's gem. Thank you for sharing about my tour. I hope you'll have a great time in the rest of your journey. Domo Arigatou Gozaimashita!
