I’ve lived in Yokohama for 22 years
I speak English, Japanese
I am a tour guide
My name is Hiroko Kitagawa. I was born and raised in Japan and graduated from Keio University. I have experience living in California totally for 11 years because of my husband’s job. Since 2000, I have been teaching English to people from children to business persons. I started my career as a tour guide in 2019. I have guided a lot of foreign tourists around Tokyo areas and also Kamakura, Nikko, Mt.Fuji, etc. I always enjoy meeting and guiding foreign tourists with a smile and would like them to visit fantastic places in the Tokyo area.
Hiroko was knowledgeable, well prepared and charming! She made our time in Yokohama more fun and all the more memorable! The food we sampled was delicious and Hiroko was very flexible about what we wanted to try. Great Tour!

Before we met Hiroko emailed some additional questions to better understand our interests and objectives for the day. We mentioned I was experiencing some mobility issues, for which she adapted the itinerary. When we met in person, we confirmed a strategy and were able to accomplish everything we intended within my limitations. Since we were planning to use public transit during our stay, she helped us purchase the correct transit cards. Since it was our first time in Japan, she offered a quick history of Japan and its culture; along with lots of other tidbits too numerous to list. She matched her pace to ours. It was a perfect day for us. We would certainly use her services again, and enthusiastically recommend her to others.
