Kaneo U.

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 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.

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).

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!

Yuki I.

Hallo, ich bin Yuki. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Japan, später nach Deutschland gezogen. Zwischen 1998 und 2021 habe ich in Deutschland gelebt und dort die beste Zeit meines Lebens verbracht. Deutschland ist für mich sozusagen meine zweite Heimat mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen. Als erfahrene Simultandolmetscherin für Deutsch und Japanisch (seit 16 Jahren) bewege ich mich ständig zwischen zwei Kulturen. Deshalb freue ich mich umso mehr, Ihnen nun mein Heimatland in Ihrer Sprache näherbringen zu können. Das Schöne an einer persönlichen Guide-Tour ist, dass sie ganz nach Ihren Wünschen gestaltet werden kann. Zögern Sie also nicht, mir Ihre Wünsche mitzuteilen! Und noch etwas: Entschuldigen Sie, wenn ich manchmal ein wenig Schwäbisch spreche – den Grund erfahren Sie während meiner Tour! -------------------------------------------------------------- I was born and raised in Japan and later moved to Germany. From 1998 to 2021, I lived in Germany. For me, Germany is like a second home, full of wonderful memories. As an experienced simultaneous interpreter for German/Japanese (for 16 years) and English/Japanese (for 5 years) , I am constantly moving between cultures. That’s why I’m even more excited to introduce you to my home country—in your language! The great thing about a private guided tour is that it can be tailored to your preferences. So please don’t hesitate to let me know what you’d like to see and experience! I’m looking forward to guiding you on my tour!

Adventure tour in Hakone (Climbing Mt.Kintoki)

“Amazing Hike up Mt. Kintoki”

We have been to Japan several times as our daughter lives here and it is always special treat to book a tour with Hiroshi! This was our third tour with Hiroshi and, as usual, it was amazing. Hiroshi is easy to communicate with. He takes the extra time to get to know you and your needs and adjusts the tour accordingly. Hiroshi, to us, is more than a tour guide, he is a friend. Thank you Hiroshi for another wonderful day.

Hakone, Enjoy Geopark and Traditional Culture

“ A Great Tour! 素晴らしいツアーでした！”

We recently toured Hakone and had a truly memorable experience, thanks to our exceptional guide, Kaneo-san. From the moment we met, his punctuality set the tone for a smooth and well-organized day. What made this tour stand out was Kaneo-san’s professionalism and deep knowledge of the region. His excellent English made communication effortless, allowing us to fully appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of each site. He brought Hakone to life with engaging stories and insightful context that added depth to every stop. Kaneo-san went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. He generously extended our tour to include the Open-Air Museum—an addition that wasn’t originally planned but turned out to be a highlight. His flexibility and genuine commitment to our enjoyment were truly appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with stunning scenery, fascinating history, and thoughtful guidance. We highly recommend Kaneo-san to anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable tour of Hakone.

Thank you for your long and good review. I think we were lucky to enjoy Hakone under the blue sky in spite of bad weather forecasting. It was a pity that we could not see a beautiful Mt. Fuji. But I hope you enjoyed Hakone fully. I also enjoyed an honor of spending a good time with you.
