About Tour Guide Macco K.
Hello :) I am Macco, a licensed tour guide. I love eating and traveling, so I call myself "EATraveler". I'd like you to experience "tasty (oishi)" Japan, so my tour will be full of nice food.
I was born and grew up in Osaka, and now I live in a small fishing town called Manazuru (near Hakone area) after living in Tokyo for more than 10 years. I fell in love with the beautiful scenery of the sea and mountains of Manazuru, and I really enjoy a relaxing life here. So I'd like to show you around this cozy town, which will make you feel nostalgic and relaxed.
I also work as an editor & writer. My recent works are mainly books about food and drinks, such as fermented food, dried food, cocktails and bars, Japanese sake, coffee, cheese, tea, as well as agriculture and food issues. Based on this background, I'd like to offer you amazing food experiences in Japan and enjoy EATraveling together :)
Looking forward to seeing you in Manazuru!

“Dinner in Kagurazaka ”
A Memorable Japanese Dinner in Kagurazaka with Macco Macco took us to an amazing dinner in Kagurazaka on the evening we arrived in Japan. I chose her tour because our hotel was nearby, and it turned out to be the perfect introduction to the country. She selected a cozy, welcoming restaurant and had made reservations in advance, which made the experience feel seamless and special. Macco was thoughtful and attentive—she asked about our food preferences and chose dishes accordingly. Her kindness, consideration, and deep knowledge of the area made the evening both relaxing and enriching. It was the perfect welcome dinner and set the tone for the rest of our trip. Highly recommended!

“Airport Pickup”
We had the most wonderful experience with Macco, our amazing tour guide in Tokyo! From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make our trip smooth and stress-free. Traveling to a new country can be daunting—especially when you don’t speak the language—but Macco made our arrival seamless and welcoming. She kindly offered to pick us up from Haneda Airport, which was a huge relief after a long flight from the U.S. Macco was in constant communication before our arrival, confirming flight numbers, times, and even asking whether we preferred a taxi or train into the city. We chose a taxi, and she handled everything, including communicating with the driver and making sure he had our hotel information. Her fluent Japanese and calm presence immediately made us feel at ease—not just us, but the taxi driver too! On the way to the hotel, we enjoyed a lovely conversation and felt like we were already getting a warm, personal introduction to Japan. Macco is thoughtful, organized, and genuinely kind. She tailored the experience just for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome or a more capable guide. I highly recommend Macco to anyone visiting Tokyo, especially first-time travelers. Her professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of Japan made our start unforgettable.

“Airport pickup”
Maco speaks perfect English and I wish we had more time together. I enjoyed talking with her and she was well organized. She made my first night in Tokyo a smooth one. She even helped me set up this spur of the moment photoshoot and I was able to get the USB drive with the pictures faster than their normal processing time since I was only there a few days. Thanks for all your help Macco! Hope to see you next year!

Are you interested in Zen Buddhism? Kamakura is the best place to go.
