Hi, I’m Mika! I’m half Japanese and half Filipino. I have been living in Yokohama for three years now and love showing family and friends around Japan! I also lived in Kyoto before for 6 months. I used to be an English teacher and a preschool teacher, but now work in tourism and hospitality. I have done tours in Tokyo, Yokohama, Enoshima, Kamakura, Hakone and Mt. Fuji! My style of touring is like showing a friend of mine the best spots to visit and explore. I look forward to meeting you in Japan!
