About Tour Guide Maricar R.
Hello, My name is Maricar!
Originally from the Philippines, and I’ve been living here in Japan for over 10 years. I’m currently based in Saitama—so I’m very familiar with the local area as well as many parts of Japan.
As a traveler myself, I have a strong passion for exploring Japan, and my personal goal is to visit all 47 prefectures. Because of this, I love sharing not just the popular tourist spots, but also hidden gems and local experiences that many visitors don’t usually get to see.
I speak Tagalog and English fluently, along with conversational Japanese, so I can assist a wide range of guests and help make your journey smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable.
I’m really excited to guide you today and share with you the beauty, culture, and unique charm of Japan. Let’s have a wonderful trip together!
$157/ per group

A Half-Day-Trip Koedo Kawagoe!
Kawagoe is a historic city located in Saitama Prefecture, just 30 to 60 minutes by train from central Tokyo. It is often called "Little Edo" (小江戸 / Koedo) because of its well-preserved streets and buildings that reflect the Edo period (1603–1868). Kawagoe has many attractions, so I can customize the tour according to your preferences!
