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 is very knowledgeable and provided great information. She gave us the custom tour we requested. We really appreciate that she gave a tour on a Sunday. I recommend hiring her as a tour guide.

Yasuko was awesome! We had three generations traveling together and over the New Year holiday. She was great getting us in and out of popular places with her knowledge of "short cuts" and a minimal amount of walking. She was able to accommodate our variety of interests (we went from the shrine to Pokemon stores). Overall, hit all the hot spots that we were interested in seeing and though we only had a short time with her (it takes a long time to get around in Japan), she made the most of it!

We were in a private van with Yasuko as our guide. She was wonderful in suggesting great places to visit, and arranged for the van to finish our tour in Yokohama to board the ship to start our cruise.
