Hi, I am Shizuko. I have been working as a national certified tour guide and a certified tour conductor for years. I was born in Kobe, famous for Kobe-beef, and now live in Yokohama city with my family.
Yokohama is located between Tokyo and Kamakura
I like travelling like you. I have been to more than 40 countries in the world and met many warm heated people there and had nice time. They are still unforgettable experience for me.
These experience helped me to be a tour guide.
It's my pleasure to know where you really want to visit, what you want to see, what you want to experience in Japan. Please feel free to ask me your requests.
I will do my best to answer it with Japanese style of hospitality called "OMOTENASHI."
Let me share your time in Japan to make your trip will be a wonderful and memorable one.

Shizuko is amazing tour guide.
Dear Alexander and your family, Thank you very much for your warm comment to my guiding. It was too hot to walk around Tokyo even if we walked looking for the shade. I was really happy that your 5 years old daughter walked together with us very well. I believe your teenage daughters enjoyed shopping as much as they want at Takeshita-street. And I hope you enjoyed the rest of your days in Japan to the fullest. Thank you again. Kind regards, Shizuko.
Ms Shizuko is a marvellous guide with superb attention to detail. Correspondence prior to tour was informative. The tour itself was just brilliant. Ms Shizuko has a lot of knowledge and provided a really unique and insightful experience. Ms Shizuko was punctual, polite and cheerful, she also took our well being into consideration, since we’d arrived in Tokyo less than 24hrs earlier.
Dear ‘femi, Thank you very much for your great review. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. And I hope you enjoyed a Pedestrian Paradise in Ginza, next day. How is Nathan? Is he playing the game bought at Cyber Space? I can’t forget his question about the history of Japan (Why Japan, which was far behind from other developed countries, could catch up with them finally?) That’s one of the most important questions in talking about Japanese history. What a smart boy he is! With talking with all of you, I also enjoyed the tour. Thank you for choosing me as your guide. If you have a chance to visit Japan again, please contact me. Thank you again. Kind regards, Shizuko
Shizuko was terrific. I wanted a custom tour of east Tokyo, had a few of the usual places in mind and 2 or 3 slightly off the beaten track, and she put it all together in a way that made a long day very interesting and enjoyable for all of us. Shizuko was punctual, polite and cheerful; always considerate of our interests and needs; and always knowledgeable about what we were seeing and where we were going and of Japanese history, religion, and culture in general. In short, she was wonderful. I highly recommend her as a guide.
Dear Douglas, Thank you very much for sending me such a heartfelt review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. Because I wish I could have taken a little more time to guide each spot. The tour schedule you requested was ideal one for a glimpse of Japanese tradition, culture and even daily life at off the beaten track of a part of Yanaka. I really enjoyed very much guiding and walking such nice places with you and everyone. I’ve been laughing at everyone’s jokes all the time. Thank you very much again for choosing me as your guide this time. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Japan to the fullest. Kind regards, Shizuko
We spent 2 1/2 days with Shizuko walking and taking the subway all over Tokyo. We saw a couple of Cherry Blossom flowers since this year we were just a couple of days early. There was not a place in Tokyo we missed. While our first day was rainy, we still got to see many sites. We learned how to use the Suica card to get around and how to navigate the subway system. Even though we took many subways to get to the destination, we will managed to put on over 10,000 steps a day. She even printed out detailed instructions for our driver to get us to an infrequently used cruise terminal in Yokohama. Everything was customized to our needs. Just a fabulous 2 1/2 days even with the bad weather and lots of tourists trying to eat lunch at the same time. I highly recommend Shizuko if you need a guide in Toyko.
Dear Edward, Thank you very much for your great review with warm consideration. I was really happy to received it. I appreciate very much that you always encouraged me during the tour. At the first day of the tour, we’ve been to many must-see spots in Tokyo in a heavy rain and strong wind. And the second day, (it was nice weather) we’ve been to Imperial Palace and the East Garden, we walked a lot and had a late lunch and visited the Ueno Park. And the third day, we visited two famous cherry blossom viewing spots, but cherry blossoms hadn’t bloomed yet, though how much I wanted you see them. Today in Tokyo, it’s getting warmer and cherry trees are finally blooming beautifully. I hope you have already enjoyed the cherry blossoms in full bloom somewhere in Japan. It was really nice meeting you. Please continue to enjoy wonderful cruising. A thousand thanks for choosing me as your guide in Tokyo. Kind regards, Shizuko
