Yasuko was an amazing guide and went above and beyond to take me to extra locations during out allotted time. She also found the best spots for food outside of the main tourist locations. Highly recommended!

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 brilliant, managed to fit in a number of cherry blossom sites in Tokyo in a morning and also to fit in the Meiji shrine as an extra. Very informative, helpful when bargaining and knew all the shortcuts to fit in so much in a morning. Highly recomended and hope to call on her in pur future trips to Tokyo.
