Yokohama Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

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 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.

Hello :) I am Macco, a licensed tour guide. I love eating and traveling, so I call myself "EATraveler". I'd like you to experience "tasty (oishi)" Japan, so my tour will be full of nice food. I was born and grew up in Osaka, and now I live in a small fishing town called Manazuru (near Hakone area) after living in Tokyo for more than 10 years. I fell in love with a beautiful scenary of the sea and mounains of Manazuru, and I really enjoy a relaxing life here. So I'd like to show you around this cozy town, which will make you feel nostargic and relaxed. I also work as an editor & writer. My recent works are mainly books about food and drinks, such as fermented food, dried food, cocktails and bars, Japanese sake, coffee, cheese, tea, as well as agriculture and food issues. Based on this background, I'd like to offer you amazing food experiences in Japan and enjoy EATraveling together :) Looking forward to seeing you in Manazuru!

“Trip to Yokohama ”

Had a wonderful day exploring Yokohama. Kaneo was very responsive prior to our trip and arranged a great itinerary for us. I had wanted to do an authentic Tea ceremony and that was arranged. Went for a great lunch in Chinatown and explored beautiful gardens. Would definitely recommend him highly.

“Nice, relaxing walking tour!”

I recently had the pleasure of taking a walking tour of Yokohama with Mai as my guide, and it was an excellent experience. Mai was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the tour. She offered helpful insights on what to do and frequently checked in with me about which routes to take, ensuring I had the best experience possible. Mai also provided fantastic recommendations for places to visit after the tour, which added even more value to my time in Yokohama. The tour itself was very relaxing, and I especially enjoyed sampling some delicious pastries along the way. Additionally, I got to enjoy some amazing Chinese food from Chinatown, which was a delightful part of the tour. Overall, Mai's expertise and friendly demeanor made this tour a memorable highlight of my trip. Highly recommended!
