Kamakura is the first and oldest Samurai capital in Japan, built more than 800 years ago. To change their barbarous image from Kyoto nobles, Samurai government tried their best to make it an attractive city.

About Tour Guide Shin N.

Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years.

I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots.

I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto,

so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities.

I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains.

I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit.

I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one.

It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule,

in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests.
