Navigating Hakone's & Kamakura public transport means waiting in massive lines alongside hundreds of other tourists. A private car tour eliminates the transit bottleneck, letting you see the whole comfortably and effortlessly. I am an inbound certified tour guide who does immersive and comprehensive tours. My name is Tan & my Japanese name is Yuri (lily in English).I have been living in Japan since 2008. I have vast experience as a professional tour guide for a reputable bus tour company in Tokyo. I had tons of good reviews for Kamakura & Mount Fuji tours. I had seen Japan as a former foreigner's perspective. Thus, I know very well tourists' expectation to discover the hidden gems of Tokyo. I decided to conduct private tours to focus more on small groups and offer a more personalized services to my clienteles instead.

“Great tour on our last day in Japan”
My husband I enjoyed touring with Tan. She took us to all of the sites we wanted to see and some hidden gems we were pleasantly surprised to see. We ended our tour at dusk at Shibuya to watch the scramble and see the place light up. Her English was excellent and we had many good conversations throughout the tour!

“Day trip to Hakone”
We had a great visit in Hakone led by Tan F. She is very enthusiastic and is flexible in scheduling trips to ensure her guests get to experience the sights they most want to see. It is so much easier to leave the driving to someone local rather than having to navigate bus/walking routes, especially as Hakone is quite hilly and the narrow roads can get very busy. With a private tour, you and Tan F. can work out where you want to go and how long you do/do not want to stay, which my husband and I think is well worth the extra cost vs a larger group tour.

Dear Sharon, Thank you for your kind review! You and your husband were wonderful guests, and your thoughtful preparation really made the tour a success. We were so fortunate to have such great weather! As a quick note, Mount Fuji just got its first dusting of snow a few days ago, though visibility can still vary day to day. I wish you wonderful safe travels and great guides on all your future adventures!

“Excellent Tour Guide!”
We were visiting the Yokohama area from Southern California for a couple of days and wanted to take a day tour of Kamakura with all its Buddhist shrines and temples. Yuri Tan did a fantastic job with our tour. She understood our needs and paid attention to the pace we requested. She picked us up at our hotel in Yokohama and drove us to several shrines and temples. She gave us a detailed commentary about the history of the particular shrine and its relevance in medieval Japan. Great history lesson. She stayed in contact with us before our trip so we knew exactly when and where to meet. For lunch, she took us to a great little restaurant! I asked about where I could pick up a US to Japan AC adapter. She took care to stop for a store and waited while I went and picked up the adapter. Highly recommend Yuri Tan. She is punctual, pays attention to your specific needs and is overall very personable, easy to talk to and a great guide overall.
