About Me

Hi! I’m Yuko.
I love domestic and international travel, and I enjoy talking about Japan's hidden spots and global trends. I’m a mom of two boys, and my hobbies include cooking and playing the piano!
I spent four years studying abroad in California, attending both college and university. I majored in liberal arts and ethnomusicology, where I discovered the amazing connection between language and culture.
After returning to Japan, I've worked in translation, music production, and web editing. I also completed U.S.-certified holistic health coach training in 2022.

We had another free talk today, and I also learned how to use Japanese particles. Now I understand better the difference between “に” and “へ.” Yuko’s grammar explanation very clear and really awesome!

Yoko taught me the hiragana chart and also told me all about Japan’s cherry blossom season and the best times to visit!

The teacher is very kind and even accepts last-minute lesson requests.
It is really helpful as I can directly ask about the Japanese I need for work.
