Just two hours from Tokyo, step into the timeless charm of Manazuru—a fishing town where tradition lives on in every alley and aroma. Stroll through quiet streets, savor freshly grilled himono (dried fish), and share stories with warm-hearted locals.

This walking tour offers more than scenic views and delicious food—it’s a journey into Japan’s slower rhythms, where sea breeze, community, and culture come together. If you're seeking a heartfelt escape from the city, Manazuru welcomes you.

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!

Macco K.

Thank you so much again for your warm words, Yvonne san! It means a lot to me. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the dinner in Kagurazaka. I also had a great time with you all :) Hope we can spend some time together in the near future!

“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.

Macco K.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a good review with 5-star! I really appreciate that. I was happy to welcome you at the airport and enjoy a taxi ride to your hotel together. It was also an unforgeattable experience for me. Thank you for choosing me as your guide. Hope to welcome you back in Japan sometime soon...!
