KAMAKURA! What a perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

About Tour Guide Mitsuru(mark) S.

KON-NICHI-WA (Hello)! I’m Mitsuru (Mark)

I was born in Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. When I was five, my family moved to Seattle, USA. That’s when my classroom teacher gave me the name “Mark,” and I also began learning English — though it was children’s English then.

After I returned to Japan at the age of eleven, I faced many challenges adjusting to a new environment. It was tough and it continued till maybe recently, but absolutely it helped me notice the differences and similarities between the two countries. These experiences have truly become the backbone of my career as a tour guide.

My favorite subject is Japanese history, especially Shintoism, Buddhism, and samurai culture. Since I also studied architecture at university, I enjoy introducing visitors to Japan’s unique buildings and structures.

Above all, what I love most is making your trip enjoyable. I want you to feel relaxed, safe, and secure throughout your journey.

I hope to see you someday soon.

Thank you very much.

“Amazing day!”

Mark was amazing. He was very thoughtful and accommodating. We provided him with a couple of places we wanted to visit and he planned the day around these. He navigated the train and subway systems for us. Mark showed us more than we thought possible. His choice of restaurant for lunch suited everyone in the group with lots of Japanese cuisine, friendly and delicious. We had a great time. Highly recommend Mark.

Mitsuru(mark) S.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I’m truly glad to hear that you had a great time with me. I hope you were able to find the fishing reel you were looking for during your time in Osaka. It was a pleasure spending time with you, and I also learned many new things from you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay, and I wish you a safe and pleasant journey ahead.

“Beautiful Kamakura”

We had a really wonderful day today in Kamakura. We had Mark as a tour guide and he made sure we saw the highlights of Kamakura and also his personal favorites. He was very interesting and insightful. Don’t miss this beautiful place. Mark also helped us print out our train tickets for future travel in Japan, which was a huge help. He explained what we would need to do for the Shinkansen. Highly recommend Mark!
