Koichiro Y.

Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

Yuki N.

I grew up in Kanagawa, and have lived in Tokyo, Kobe, Shizuoka, Shikoku and Shonan area in Japan. I have also lived and worked in the US at a Japanese international company. I have a lot of experiences to communicate with US people through my job. I understand what foreign people want to experience in Japan! I will be able to take you anywhere, anything you want. I hope to be a good friends with you!

Nahomi O.

Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Miura Peninsula, a beautiful coastal area just south of Tokyo. I’ve been living here for nearly 10 years, surrounded by the sea, fields, and a peaceful way of life. The Miura Peninsula has many unique towns. Kamakura is an old capital where Japan’s first samurai government began. Yokosuka has long been a base for the Japanese Navy, and today it is a special mix of American and Japanese naval cultures. Misaki & Jogashima (Miura City) is a quiet fishing and farming town, very different from busy Tokyo. Hayama is a beautiful town with a summer house of the Japanese Imperial Family. Through my tours, I want to show not only the famous places but also everyday life in Japan—especially how people live in small towns outside the big city. I hope you can feel the calm, kindness, and beauty of local life. I’d love to show you the slower, more local side of Japan. Let’s explore together!

Yumiko O.

Hello, my name is Yumiko, and I am a licensed tour guide based in Japan. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of Japan with travelers from all over the world. I have guided many visitors through Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and other famous destinations, as well as hidden gems that only locals know. My goal is always to create a tour that is not only informative but also enjoyable and personalized to your interests. With a warm and flexible guiding style, I love helping guests discover Japan’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether you are interested in temples and shrines, delicious local food, or simply strolling through charming streets, I will do my best to make your time in Japan unforgettable. I am excited to announce that I have started offering tours in Odawara! Odawara is a historic castle town located just an hour from Tokyo, famous for its impressive Odawara Castle, beautiful views of both the sea and mountains, and its role as the gateway to Hakone. In addition to exploring the castle and tasting local specialties such as fresh seafood and kamaboko (fish cakes), you can also enjoy many Instagram-worthy spots, from the scenic coastline to charming traditional houses that give a glimpse of Japan’s past. Odawara is still less crowded compared to other popular destinations, so it’s a great time to visit. I look forward to welcoming you and creating wonderful memories together!

Erol M.

I was born and raised in Japan and have spent my career working closely with international guests. After retiring as a hotel executive, I chose to become a tour guide so I could share Japan in a more personal and meaningful way. I especially enjoy telling the history of Yokohama, Japan’s first foreign settlement, and explaining how it shaped modern Japan through culture, trade, and daily life. Drawing on my background in hospitality, I customize each tour to meet your interests, pace, and travel style, ensuring a comfortable and memorable experience tailored just for you.

“Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and fun.”

We went for a day trip to Hakone. Noboyuki was an excellent guide. We met at the hotel in Tokyo and drove to Hakone. Along the way he explained many of our questions we had about Tokyo and the surrounding areas. It was a great day, very informative and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend. Great guy and guide!

Hakone, enjoy the wonderful natural beauty and fine museums!

“Some days stay with you… this was one of them.”

Some days stay with you… this was one of them. Yasuhiro was already there waiting for us — with a kindness that feels rare, and a beautiful, heartwarming gift prepared by his family. Such a small gesture, yet it set the tone for everything that followed. What we appreciated most was the way he guided us — thoughtful, insightful, and very natural. He shared things gradually, always keeping it engaging, with a particularly deep knowledge of the local vegetation. And somehow… he even managed to “arrange” the clouds just in time, so we wouldn’t miss that first, breathtaking glimpse of Mount Fuji. Cherry blossoms framed the day in full bloom, quietly reminding us how fleeting and beautiful everything is.

Yasuhiro M.

Hi Kata, Thank you for such a lovely message to my tour. I really appreciate it. I really hope to guide you again, hopefully in my home town Shizuoka. Until then, keep in touch with me. Best, Yasuhiro Mochizuki

“Hakone day tour with Munetaka”

Wow thank you Taka for a most enthralling tour. Your passion and knowledge for the history of the area was fascinating and showed great depth. The tour was tailored to the age of the participants. You were very accommodating with our requests. Thank you, Liz and John Thank you Taka, you are kind and courteous, and always put us first. From a guide, we made a friend. The day was amazing due to all your efforts and thank you is simply not enough. Highly recommend you to anyone wanting to do this tour. Arigato from Tasmania

Munetaka H.

Hi Jo, and your families, thank you very much for your warm appreciation comments, which is encouraging me a lot. Your satisfaction is my greatest wish. I think that upon our good communication before our tour, you have well prepared for many things in advance, so we could do well thanks to your kindness. It's still cool and warm, but unstable weather in Japan because of the beginning of spring, please take care of yourself and continue enjoying your trip with new experiences. Arigato from Yokohama. Taka
