Yumiko O.
Hello, my name is Yumiko, and I am a licensed tour guide based in Japan. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of Japan with travelers from all over the world. I have guided many visitors through Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and other famous destinations, as well as hidden gems that only locals know. My goal is always to create a tour that is not only informative but also enjoyable and personalized to your interests. With a warm and flexible guiding style, I love helping guests discover Japan’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether you are interested in temples and shrines, delicious local food, or simply strolling through charming streets, I will do my best to make your time in Japan unforgettable. I am excited to announce that I have started offering tours in Odawara! Odawara is a historic castle town located just an hour from Tokyo, famous for its impressive Odawara Castle, beautiful views of both the sea and mountains, and its role as the gateway to Hakone. In addition to exploring the castle and tasting local specialties such as fresh seafood and kamaboko (fish cakes), you can also enjoy many Instagram-worthy spots, from the scenic coastline to charming traditional houses that give a glimpse of Japan’s past. Odawara is still less crowded compared to other popular destinations, so it’s a great time to visit. I look forward to welcoming you and creating wonderful memories together!

Yacco M.
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!

Akari U.
Hi, I'm Akari! Your local guide for Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama. Before settling down in beautiful, historical Kamakura, I lived in Tokyo and Yokohama for over 10 years, giving me a deep understanding of both big-city energy and coastal charm—nestled between the ocean and mountains, which I love the most! As I used to teach Japanese, I love bridging cultural gaps and sharing the "Why" behind our customs and traditions. For me, guiding isn't just about hitting the famous sightseeing spots—it's about giving you those "Aha!" moments through our rich history and customs. As a local, I'm obsessed with exploring hidden gems outside the capital. Whether it's a quiet bamboo forest in Kamakura, a stunning sunset spot in Enoshima, or a cozy local cafe and eatery, I can't wait to share my favorite places with you. What I offer: ・Fully customized private tours tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Feel free to send a message. Let’s make your Japan trip unforgettable. See you soon!

Justin C.
Hello! I’m Justin, your passionate local host in Tokyo and Kyoto. Although I’m new to this platform, I’ve been guiding travelers for six years, sharing Japan’s rich culture, fascinating history, and modern charm with visitors from around the world. Tokyo is a city that never stops surprising me, with its unique blend of traditional heritage, futuristic architecture, and vibrant neighborhoods. I’d love to help you discover both its famous landmarks and hidden corners, experiencing the city beyond the typical tourist spots. Kyoto is another city close to my heart. From the lively streets of Sakyo to the serene beauty of Arashiyama, every neighborhood has its own character and stories to tell. I enjoy bringing Kyoto’s history and culture to life through its temples, architecture, traditional arts, and lesser-known gems. Are you a food lover? So am I! I’m always exploring Japan’s food scene, from traditional local eateries to exciting new spots. Whether you want to try authentic Japanese cuisine, discover hidden restaurants, or explore the local food culture, I’ll help you find experiences that suit your tastes. Beyond food, I have a particular interest in Japanese history, architecture, and art. I love sharing the stories behind historic buildings, ancient artworks, and cultural landmarks, helping you understand not just what you’re seeing, but why it matters. In 2022, I was honored to be appointed a Kyoto Prefecture Friendship Ambassador, allowing me to further promote cultural exchange between Japan and the world. My goal is to make every tour personal, engaging, and memorable. Whether you’re visiting Japan for the first time or returning to discover something new, I’ll tailor the experience to your interests and pace. Although I’m new to this platform, I bring six years of guiding experience and a genuine passion for sharing Japan with travelers. I look forward to exploring Japan with you and helping you create unforgettable memories!

“Diego is a super guide/translator! ”
Diego was excellent! He accompanied us on a tour of the Nissan factory in Yokohama. He was super responsive ahead of meeting, and met us promptly at the precise time. He was an excellent translator (he speaks English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese!), incredibly helpful, and just generally a lovely and interesting guy. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

“Yokohama City Highlights”
Once again Shin hit it out of the park! Started our morning with a short walking tour around Yokohama Port Bay with a stop at the observatory. Then off to the British Consulate Museum and Gardens! Both were Awesome! Then it was off to the Sankeien Japanese Gardens! Spectacular! You would never know you're right in the middle of a busy city! Next came a short walk in Yokohama's Chinatown to an awesome, authentic Chinese Restaurant! Finally it was a well calculated drive to the Haneda Airport where Shin took us to another Observatory and final chance to do a little shopping. All of the above was put together by Shin, even the hire of the Limo, the cost of which was very reasonable. Thanks kindly again Shin for guiding us around your beautiful country!

Shin N.
Karey san, Thank you for your kind message. Because your review is so precise, there is no room for me to add our itinerary on the day! Your booking of a limousine for one day from Yokohama Osanbashi ferry terminal to Haneda allows us to enjoy Yokohama flexibly. I will remember our three days in Tokyo & Yokohama for long time as one of my unforgettable days in my guiding career. Arigatou, Shin
