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 a wonderful tour guide. Her English was outstanding, personable, friendly and knowledgeable. Food selection was perfect with variety of Japanese and Chinese foods. I would highly recommend!

We enjoying seeing the huge food floors in the department store and train station, but then we chose smaller places to eat which was more relaxing. All the food was terrific and we were stuffed at the end. Hiroko also helped us learn how to navigate the subway and the app. We definitely got to places we wouldn’t have on our own!

We enjoyed a wonderfully wet visit to Yokohama. Our terrific guide was so flexible and accommodating given the weather, our time constraint and the fact it was a holiday. Her follow up to discussions and our difficulties navigating the area was so helpful. We would definitely hire her again.

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!
