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.

Overview of your Tokyo tour
If you want to see Tokyo by a private mini-van*, this is the one. I will provide with a professional driver and a minivan and take you to places with your choice. The popular courses are as follows: 1. East-central Tokyo: Asakusa, Imperial Palace Plaza or East Garden, Ginza and Tsukiji Market. 2. West Tokyo: Meiji Jingu Shrine, Harajuku-Omotesando-Aoyama, Shibuya and Roppongi Hills. Traffic is quite smooth for a big city. Let's see Tokyo as much as possible! Other area, duration, start time, airport/station/Yokohama port pickup service and larger bus also available.

Oh my gosh, this was a fabulous tour! Yasuko was awesome and tended to our every needs. She was willing to make adjustments and we actually were able to tour more sights than originally planned. If you have only a short visit in Tokyo, then this is the tour to take with Yasuko. She is as nice as nice can be, her English is very good, and she is a lovely person. You won't regret choosing Yasuko for your tour!

My wife and 2 young children had a wonderful 6 hour tailored tour of Tokyo with Yasuko. She planned the day so we all got something out of Tokyo and none of us were left disappointed. She was professional, personable and extremely knowledgeable. We saw a lot in our 6 hours thanks to her, and no request from us was too hard. We even stopped to do some shopping when an opportunity arose. I highly recommend Yasuko and I will definitely be booking with her again when we return to this fascinating city.
