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.

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!

“An unforgettable, stunning Mount Fuji tour”

We had a fantastic Mount Fuji trip with Nahomi. Everything was well organized from start to finish, making the day smooth and enjoyable. Our guide Nahomi was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great insights along the way. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended!

Nahomi O.

Thank you so much for booking my tour this time! I had a wonderful time as well, and truly enjoyed exploring quiet and mystical places away from Tokyo with you. It was a pleasure sharing those moments together. I’m really looking forward to welcoming you back to Japan again soon. Please send my best wishes to your family!

“A picturesque seaside town and island tour!”

We booked a tour with Nahomi to get away from the bustle of Tokyo and were taken on a beautiful tour of Japan’s coast and the hidden gem that is Jogashima island! The tour itself took us through some local shrines, coffee shops, and a local eatery for fresh seafood before taking a ferry to hike through Jogashima island. Everywhere we visited felt genuine and local to the area. Jogashima had amazing views and fascinating rock formations that we hiked across, it was great for photos to bring back home! As a tour guide, Nahomi was incredibly accommodating: taking in all of our personal interests and preferences and integrating them into the Misaki city tour as much as possible. My traveling companion was a bit of a picky eater but Nahomi was able to find restaurants that suited and even impressed his restricted palate. Additionally, being driven around the Misaki area to see the farmlands was a refreshing break from the constant cityscape of Tokyo! I would highly recommend booking Nahomi as a tour guide for the Misaki area. She is extremely knowledgeable on the local area and was able to give us very detailed itineraries on how to reach the city from Tokyo by train. As a tour guide her english skills are excellent and a splendid communicator. We greatly enjoyed our time talking with her throughout the tour. I would book Nahomi again as a tour guide for other areas around Tokyo for my next trip!

Nahomi O.

Brandon, thank you so much for visiting Jogashima and Misaki Port with me this autumn! And thank you for your thoughtful review, it truly means a lot to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to share it, especially with your busy schedule. I could tell how genuinely interested you are in our culture and history, and how sincerely you try to understand them. I’m so happy that you came to love this place as well. I would love to explore more wonderful places and experiences in Japan with you again, especially ones you haven’t discovered yet! I'm looking forward seeing you soon!
