About Tour Guide Akari U.
Hi, I'm Akari! Your local guide for Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama.
Before settling down in beautiful, historical Kamakura, I lived in Tokyo and Yokohama for over 10 years, giving me a deep understanding of both big-city energy and coastal charm—nestled between the ocean and mountains, which I love the most!
As I used to teach Japanese, I love bridging cultural gaps and sharing the "Why" behind our customs and traditions. For me, guiding isn't just about hitting the famous sightseeing spots—it's about giving you those "Aha!" moments through our rich history and customs.
As a local, I'm obsessed with exploring hidden gems outside the capital. Whether it's a quiet bamboo forest in Kamakura, a stunning sunset spot in Enoshima, or a cozy local cafe and eatery, I can't wait to share my favorite places with you.
What I offer:
・Fully customized private tours tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosity.
Feel free to send a message. Let’s make your Japan trip unforgettable. See you soon!
$379/ per group
