Hi, I’m Yacco, a friendly and passionate local guide. I was born and raised in Shizuoka and have lived in Yokohama for over 30 years. For the past several years, I’ve been guiding international visitors in Kamakura, Yokohama, and Tokyo as a volunteer, helping them discover the rich history, culture, and hidden charm of these unique cities. Traveling abroad creates once-in-a-lifetime memories, and I would love for you to fully experience the beauty and spirit of my favorite towns. I not only enjoy showing historical and modern landmarks, but also love introducing quiet backstreets, seasonal flowers, cozy cafés, and delicious local food that reflect the charm of everyday life. What I enjoy most is comparing Japanese traditions with my guests’ own cultures and histories—these conversations often lead to deep and inspiring exchanges. As your guide, I’m happy to customize tours based on your interests, whether you’re seeking unique experiences, historical insights, or local flavors. Let’s walk, talk, and create unforgettable memories together!

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. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I spent many years in the automotive industry and international consulting, including extensive time living and working in the United States. While I am very comfortable hosting business executives, I truly love sharing the "heart of Japan" with families and senior travelers. I enjoy making my tours feel like a walk with a knowledgeable friend—whether we are discussing the latest design trends or the deep history of a hidden temple. My goal is to bridge the gap between cultures with a smile, ensuring that every guest, from busy professionals to curious grandkids, feels welcome and inspired.

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!

“10/10 recommend Lynn she’s an amazing tour guide ”
We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Lynn, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Our group included seniors who depend on walking sticks, and Lynn was incredibly sensitive and attentive to their mobility needs, ensuring every step of the journey was safe and comfortable. Beyond her care, Lynn is deeply culturally competent; she navigated language and cultural nuances with such grace and expertise. She was also wonderful with our family, making sure the experience was engaging and inclusive for everyone. Lynn is exceptionally polite, courteous, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. She made our tour not just a sightseeing trip, but a super fun and truly enjoyable memory. If you are looking for a guide who genuinely cares, look no further!

“Wonderful tour”
We enjoyed our tour with Yacco. She was excellent. She adapted the tour to my wife’s needs. We learned a lot about early Yokohama. Guided us on their transit system. She planned a great traditional lunch in a small cafe. Especially enjoyed the visit to the Maritime Museum.
Yacco M.
Hi Miche, Thank you so much for joining my tour—it was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you and Judy! Yokohama is a beautiful city that has grown together with its port, so it meant a lot to me to explore its history with you. Visiting the Maritime Museum together was especially memorable—it’s such a great place to learn about Yokohama’s story, and I really enjoyed it too. You even made me want to go on a cruise myself! I hope you continue to have a wonderful journey. Warm regards, Yacco
