Hi, my name is Yasuko. I am an eclectic tour guide and interpreter. My tour will be custom made just for you. Whether you choose fashion, food, history, museums, or sports, etc. , I promise we will have fun! I earned an M. A. from the University of Illinois. I worked with an American company for years. I like to swim and bike. I live in the west-central Tokyo. I also lived in London, Chicago and Springfield, and traveled around the world. I liked people and enjoyed living anywhere I went. Tokyo is a big city, so it has many places to see - almost anything you can imagine! Here we can walk and use public transportation or I can arrange a taxi or van for you. If you'd like, we will see a little bit of everything. Last minute bookings are welcome! M.A. in International Business and B.A. in Liberal Studies from the University of Illinois: National guide certificate issued by Governor of Tokyo Metropolis: Grade A (highest level) guide certificate: Lifesaving and First-aid certificate : Itinerary management certificate: Tour guide trainer/consultant.

Yasuko was great. She is knowledgeable and personable.The tour followed the basic itinerary which Yasuko tailored to our preferences once she saw how we toured. We like to walk and move quickly, and with Yasuko's help we had a great 4 hour tour which made us feel like we actually covered most of Tokyo including local shops,fish market,shrine,temple,riding the subway,the palace grounds,local snacks,chatting with local school kids...... Thank you!

My daughter and I took a private tour with Yasuko and we both thought that the experience was spectacular. Yasuko organized a very time efficient tour that allowed us to see more than we thought possible, yet we were not rushed and able to spend as much time as was needed for us to get a good appreciation of the places visited. Yasuko is a very special person and she gave us a unique insight into the history, religion and culture of Japan. We would insist that our closest friends use her on their trip.

Our guide, Yasuko, was wonderful! She picked us up from our hotel and took us on a tour of the Fish Market and The Imperial Palace. She was able to gain access for us into the Palace grounds for a special group tour. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and her English was perfect. We would recommend her highly and will be doing another tour with her in a couple of days.

I think Yasuko is an excellent tour guide. She tailored the tour to my requests and was always very helpful. Her English is very good and so communicating with her was seamless. I would recommend her to anyone interested in getting to know Tokyo.
