What Is a Private Tokyo Tour Like on a Hot Summer Day? A Licensed Guide's Report
It was an extremely hot day, but while paying close attention to staying hydrated, I guided the guests visiting from North America through the itinerary as planned. At Asakusa, the guests purchased a variety of Japanese souvenirs and were very satisfied. As I always find, since everyone has their own food preferences, choosing a facility with many restaurants gives more options and tends to result in higher satisfaction for lunch. This time as well, we walked around and looked at the restaurants that caught their interest, such as okonomiyaki, tonkatsu, and Japanese set meals, checking the menus and how long the lines were, and the guests enjoyed a Japanese set meal.

Hello, I’m Yukie Tachibana, national licensed tour guide living in Yokohama with my family. Please call me Yuki. I have been working as a tour guide for 5years mainly around Tokyo, Kanagawa, for example, Hakone, Kamakura, Yokohama and Kawasaki. I have had an experience of attending a lot of foreign visitors from all over the world in both private and group tours for sightseeing and business in one to multi-days. I’m able to arrange the tour for you, so please feel free to ask me your favorite plan in Japan as to spot, food and some activities. I like to see Buddhist statues in temples so I’d like to introduce our history and culture. Also because I like Japanese animation and character, and animals, I can take you to some shops for the animation and animal cafes that are so popular among tourists. Looking forward to seeing you soon and share wonderful time in Japan! Thank you.

Tokyo in a day from Yokohama
We had a great experience on May 1 with our guide Yukie Tachibana. She was very friendly
and provided excellent service and history of the sites we visited in Tokyo. She was great at
navigating the city using the train system.

Yuki was awesome. She reached out right after we made our reservation, inquired about our interests and provided a customized itinerary. She guided us to six different venues using public transportation over the course of six hours and was very professional, flexible and informative. I highly recommend her services especially for first time visitors.
