Hi! I am Yukiko Tsunoda, a national licensed guide in English. Please call me Yuki,
I love nature, animals and ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) and enjoy jogging, badminton and taking care of shelter cats in my free time.
My specialties as a guide are Nikko in Tochigi Prefecture and Tokyo, two areas I absolutely love.
I’ve lived near Nikko for years and explored it lots of times, whose wonder never ceases to amaze me. Nikko offers a wonderful combination of stunning nature and historic religious sites, including its UNESCO World Heritage designation. With a history of over 1,200 years rooted in both Shintoism and Buddhism, it’s truly a special destination that reflects the spiritual and cultural heart of Japan. I would love to share the charm of Nikko with you.
My other favorite place to guide is Tokyo, where I grew up and worked as a teacher for many years. Tokyo is not just a vibrant cutting-edge metropolis but also a place where people have lived and cultivated Japanese culture for over 400 years. It offers an incredible variety of attractions to suit every interest of yours.
I’m delighted to help make your time in Japan interesting, exciting, and truly special. Your happiness is my greatest reward. Thank you.

Wonderful Experience
Yuki was an excellent guide. We chose a few sites, and then she gave us suggestions as well to meet our interests. She was very kind and we learned so much from her. It was a great experience that I highly recommend for any first-time travelers to Tokyo/Japan.
