Itinerary

This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!

10:00 AM

Meeting Point

Miurakaigan Station

- I'm based on the Miura Peninsula, so meeting at a nearby station allows us to start the tour at a time that suits you best. However, if the timing works, I'm also happy to meet you at your hotel or preferred location in Yokohama, Kamakura, and Yokosuka. Just send me a message in advance so we can coordinate the details.

10:10 AM

Tokyo Bay Drive

We will drive along the Tokyo Bay coastline from Miurakaigan Station to Misaki Port. Along the way, you will see small fishing ports, vast fields stretching as far as the eye can see, and, if the weather is clear, you may even catch a view of Mount Fuji beyond Sagami Bay.

10:30 AM

Strolling Around Misaki Port

Misaki Port is a peaceful and charming fishing town far from the crowds. Once a hub of Japan’s fishing industry, the port is now quiet but still full of retro character from the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras. Wander through narrow alleys lined with retro houses, visit shrines and temples that have long protected the port, and meet friendly locals.

12:00 PM

Lunch at the Fishing Port

Let’s enjoy a set meal with fresh seafood. You can choose from casual restaurants where local fishermen eat, Japanese-style restaurants that attract tourists on weekends, or traditional inns that were popular when the fishing port was busier in the Showa era. There are several options, and we can contact the restaurants before your arrival to make a reservation if needed.

01:30 PM

Jogashima Trekking

Jogashima is the closest island to Tokyo, surrounded by Tokyo Bay, Sagami Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. It is a small island that has been popular as a scenic spot for over 1,000 years.

Let’s trek along the rocky coastline of the island, where you can enjoy endless views of the sea and a peaceful landscape with no man-made buildings.

02:30 PM

Tea Break

Let’s take a relaxing break at a retro-style café in Jogashima or Misaki Port.

Ending Point

---

Misaki Port has some lovely places to stay, including old inns and restaurants that have been renovated. These buildings were once used by deep-sea fishermen.

I’ll help you check in if you stay overnight in this area, and will recommend some great night spots, such as local izakayas, international restaurants, or retro-style bars loved by locals.

Some shops are only open on weekends, so if you want to enjoy the local shopping street atmosphere, weekends are a good choice.

On the other hand, if you want to relax and take a peaceful walk away from the busy city, weekdays are a good choice because weekdays are very quiet.

About Tour Guide Nahomi O.

Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Miura Peninsula, a beautiful coastal area just south of Tokyo. I’ve been living here for nearly 10 years, surrounded by the sea, fields, and a peaceful way of life.

The Miura Peninsula has many unique towns. Kamakura is an old capital where Japan’s first samurai government began. Yokosuka has long been a base for the Japanese Navy, and today it is a special mix of American and Japanese naval cultures. Misaki & Jogashima (Miura City) is a quiet fishing and farming town, very different from busy Tokyo. Hayama is a beautiful town with a summer house of the Japanese Imperial Family.

Through my tours, I want to show not only the famous places but also everyday life in Japan—especially how people live in small towns outside the big city. I hope you can feel the calm, kindness, and beauty of local life.

I’d love to show you the slower, more local side of Japan.

Let’s explore together!

“Enlightening Experience in Kamakura”

We had a wonderful small-group tour with Nahomi, who was friendly, outgoing, and highly knowledgeable. As a local guide, she has a deep understanding of Kamakura and expertly tailored our itinerary to include meaningful historical sites, as well as great spots for shopping. Given how much there is to see in Kamakura, she focused on historically significant temples like Engaku-ji and Kencho-ji, while steering us away from the main tourist crowds. The result felt like a private tour, with many moments where we had the sites almost entirely to ourselves. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Nahomi O.

I really enjoyed exploring Kamakura with you and your family. I was touched by your kindness, your thoughtfulness, and the way you respect Japanese culture and truly try to enjoy the experience. Thank you for this special time together. I hope the rest of your trip in Japan will be wonderful over the next few days. Let’s definitely meet again!

“A wonderful Kamakura tour”

I booked a day trip with Nahomi to visit Kamakura. With full cherry blossom in front of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, it was so beautiful. I will remember this place for a long time. Being a local person, Nahomi is very knowledgeable with this area. She is very nice and did everything she could to adjust her plan and tour arrangement to accommodate schedule and situation. Many thanks, Nahomi.

Nahomi O.

Thank you for joining my tour this time! You are such a thoughtful person, and I really enjoyed exploring Kamakura with you. Everything felt perfect—the clear morning after the rain, the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the ideal temperature, and Kamakura in the early hours before the crowds. It was the best combination of conditions, and it made me very happy for you. I hope we can meet again someday!
