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!

Yacco M.

Hi, I’m Yacco, a friendly and passionate local guide. I was born and raised in Shizuoka and have lived in Yokohama for over 30 years. For the past several years, I’ve been guiding international visitors in Kamakura, Yokohama, and Tokyo as a volunteer, helping them discover the rich history, culture, and hidden charm of these unique cities. Traveling abroad creates once-in-a-lifetime memories, and I would love for you to fully experience the beauty and spirit of my favorite towns. I not only enjoy showing historical and modern landmarks, but also love introducing quiet backstreets, seasonal flowers, cozy cafés, and delicious local food that reflect the charm of everyday life. What I enjoy most is comparing Japanese traditions with my guests’ own cultures and histories—these conversations often lead to deep and inspiring exchanges. As your guide, I’m happy to customize tours based on your interests, whether you’re seeking unique experiences, historical insights, or local flavors. Let’s walk, talk, and create unforgettable memories together!

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.

“Fab’ guide to recommend”

Came with a group of 9pax. Melody was absolutely lovely. He suggested the program and even though it was a hot day in Kamakura, we visited a lot of temples and he gave us ideas for lunch and how to spend the afternoon as well. He has a lot of knowledge and made it suitable to my group in the 20s/30s. Everyone loved him. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with this great, kind, knowledgeable, flexible and lovely person!

Melody S.

Thank you, Sarah! Your group ended up being bigger than when you first booked the tour. Guiding a large group can be a little challenging, but at the same time, it makes the tour lively and a lot of fun. Since our itinerary included quite a few shrines and temples, I was a little worried that some guests might get bored, but I was very happy to see that everyone enjoyed the tour very much. It was also my pleasure to answer so many questions about Japanese culture. I hope you all continue to have a wonderful time in Japan!

Dear Robert, Thank you for your review of my Kamakura tour. You took this tour instead of Lake Kawaguchi tour as the weather was not favorable to see Mt. Fuji. I was glad that everyone enjoyed visiting Kamakura. Your wife is the first guest to buy so many antiques, so I helped her to carry them during the tour. Thank you for taking my tour!

Absolutely loved our tour with Melody! What an awesome person he is. Always super responsive pre-tour, made suggestions for the tour, included our priorities in the itinerary. Super flexible. He was very joyful, knowledgeable and kind during our tour. We really loved our time with him. Would highly recommend you to book with him. I work in tourism myself and am a very well travelled person (almost 60 countries) - believe me when I say he is one of the best guides I had!

Melody S.

Sarah, thank you so much for joining my tour! Hearing that I was the best guide you’ve had in the 60 countries you’ve visited is truly the best compliment I could ever receive. Your group of 10 was amazing too! In just four hours, we managed to visit quite a few places Kamakura—Engakuji Temple, Kenchoji Temple, Hansobo Shrine, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and Komachi Street—and we collected some goshuin (stamps) along the way as well. I hope you’ll be able to collect many more goshuin and make lots of wonderful memories during the rest of your time in Japan!
