About Tour Guide Macco K.
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 the beautiful scenery of the sea and mountains 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 nostalgic 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!

“Meeting at Haneda”
Macco met us at Haneda airport and right away we felt so comfortable with her as our Guide!! She welcomed us, had a cute sign, which I wish I took a picture with!! Our first time in Tokyo, after long flight; last I wanted to do is get lost finding hotel! Macco was super! Helped us get our Suica card; and anything else we need to do at airport! Boarded monorail effortless with her as our Guide! We arrived at our hotel no problem! She helped us check in too!! It’s so important to start your beautiful Japan stay, on the right path, and feeling comfortable…Macco truly helped us with that and our entire trip was fabulous!! Next time I’ll use Macco for sure!! She is raised in Japan, so knows history and etiquette! She had great suggestions of events that we could see too! So grateful I found Macco on the website!! Arigato Gozaimashita!

Once again, thank you so so much for your heart-warming review and comment for me. I'm so glad that you were happy with me and satisfied with my support. I was also very happy to meet you at the airport, and spend some time together. I do look forward to seeing you again in the near future. With many thanks...
“First visit to Tokyo”
Our first visit to Tokyo! I reached out to Macco, whom I discovered on Go With Guide. Macco was absolutely the best I can imagine! She was attentive to the details of our trip, and what our plans were. She kept me informed, and great communication up to the moment she picked us up at the airport! She is personable, and her bilingual in English, fluent in Japanese made it so nice for us; especially at restaurants!! She made herself available even if we had no set plans. She is very knowledgable with Japanese culture and history. Macco truly made our trip enjoyable and memorable…as I also now have a friend in Japan to see again!! Arigato Gozaimasu Macco!!

Manazuru: Walking Tour with Tasty Local Food and Scenic View
“An Amazing and Unforgettable Day Trip!”
My father and I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with Macco, originally we were only going to tour Manazuru but after being informed there was a local festival going on in the nearby town of Yugawara we knew we didn't want to miss out. It was absolutely perfect, Macco is incredibly sweet and helpful and really made us feel like a local in Manazuru. She really knows everyone and made us feel right at home. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the fast-paced city life in Tokyo The food in Manazuru is delightful with some of the best fish we had during our stay in Japan. Despite its small size, there is lots to explore in the town (A favourite of ours being the shrine all the way up the hill, the view is gorgeous) and I have no doubts that no matter your interest Macco will be able to find something for you. The Yugawara Yassa festival was wonderful as well, it was so cool seeing all of the dances everyone had prepared and the festival food was delicious as well ^w^ Thank you so much again for the wonderful time Macco and I hope to visit Manazuru again soon!
Macco K.
Thank you for your review. I'm so happy that you liked Manazuru and enjoyed the tour as well as Yassa Festival in Yugawara. It was my pleasure to be your guide and spend a great time with you two. Looking forward to seeing you again sometime soon...! Best regards, Macco

I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!
