Hi! I am Macky. I am glad to accompany you on your tour to Japan and show you the beauty and experiences Japan has to offer. I am an English tour guide and I have guided many foreign visitors around Kamakura, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and Hakone. I love sightseeing myself and I enjoy food and wine… I have been interested in intercultural exchanges and have visited many places locally and overseas alike. I have strong passion in Japanese history, culture, and geography. More than just simply showing you the stunning beauty of the places, I love to impart the cultural and historical value of each sightseeing spot. The place I can guide tourists best is Kamakura which has major shrines and temples with historical and religious details. It can be fun not only to explore Kamakura from historical point of view but also experience various activities such as hiking, rental kimono-clad walking, and learning carving technique as well as soba noodle preparation. I am flexible. My guide is unique and comprehensive. If you want to make the most out of your trip, I can show you around and make you experience Japan to the fullest. I can accommodate the tour according to your needs and preferences giving you a hassle-free, enjoyable and memorable tour. I can also take you to non tourism places such as various factory tours in Yokohama and Kawasaki City.

Hello, I am Yumiko, a government licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Aichi prefecture. I have lived in Gotemba City at the foot of Mt. Fuji for over 35 years since I moved from Tokyo. Needless to say, Mt. Fuji is a symbol of Japan. It shows many faces depending on the seasons and time of the day. Many tourists visit here to see Mt. Fuji from home and abroad every year. Gotemba is located halfway between Hakone and Fuji five lakes area. And it is easily accessible from Tokyo. You can come to Gotemba from Shinjuku in Tokyo by Odakyu highway bus or Odakyu limited express train without any transfers. Please visit attractive sightseeing spots in Gotemba, such as Chichibunomiya Memorial Park, Tokino Sumika and Gotemba Premium Outlets, the biggest outlet mall in Japan. I love eating, chatting, traveling abroad and meeting people. And I enjoy tea ceremony and ballroom dancing. I would be happy if I could show you around Gotemba and Hakone area. I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Fascinating and fun a zone dyeing and beautiful Mt Fuji onsen”
Yumiko is a wonderful guide. Her English is very good and we were able to ask many questions of the indigo master with her help. The onsen she selected was beautiful and we had an incredible view of Mt. Fuji. She was a pleasure to be with and took us to a delicious sushi restaurant as well. I highly recommend this tour.
Yumiko K.
I sincerely appreciate your kind review of my tour. I am in the process of uploading some photos to my web page. To A., Thank you so much for joining my tour. You all are friendly and full of curiosity. Please enjoy the rest of your trip! To E., It was a pleasure talking with you. You look good in navy blue. Have a wonderful trip! To S., I started watching the animation “Kusuriya no hitorigoto” again on the website. The story is getting more interesting. Thank you! I wish you all the best in Japan.

“Sayori was fantastic! So much fun”
Sayori helped us plan a personalised tour. I believe the cost was very reasonable too. We (my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and I) visited a local spot in the countryside where we had a beautiful tea ceremony. Sayori is the type of person who is genuinely interested in people and learning about you and hearing your stories. Sayori made us feel so welcomed and we are so grateful to Sayori for this authentic experience.
Sayori H.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Ella san. It was so nice to meet all of you. The weather was perfect, experiencing and learning about the tea ceremony at Gyokuro no Sato was such a great memory. Sitting in the small tatami room chatting with ladies was very special. Although it was such a short time, thank you for letting me be your guide. I hope you made it back no problem. Thank you Sayori
