Hello travelers!
My name is Carrie, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself and share my journey with you.
I'm a native Chinese speaker, fluent in both English and Japanese. I've been living in Japan for over a decade and now reside in the beautiful Miura Peninsula. Miura is a hidden gem for travelers seeking a peaceful getaway close to Tokyo, known for its broad beaches, rugged coastline, fresh tuna, and scenic farmland. I’d love to show you around and help you discover a different side of Japan—local, tranquil, and full of natural beauty.
I’ve also lived in Kamakura and am familiar with many areas across Kanagawa. If you’re interested in exploring beyond Miura, feel free to reach out! With my multilingual skills, deep understanding of Japanese culture, and hands-on experience, I’d love to help you create unique experiences and lasting memories as we explore Japan’s stunning landscapes together.
