Hello, my dear would-be guests! My name is Hiroko. People call me Hiro for short. I am a government licensed guide. Here I am to make your time in a tour full of fun and provide you an unforgettable travel experience of your life. I grew up and live in Yokohama that is adjacent to Tokyo. After many years of several English-related job experiences, such as translating, teaching, desk work, etc., I finally found this job, tour guide, which is a perfect fit for my true nature. I love meeting people, having fun with people, and am always looking for something interesting wanting to share it with people. How about spending a part of your precious time here in Japan with this cheerful, friendly and well-informed tour guide, Hiro?

“A fascinating and fun day to Kamakura - 5 of 5 stars!”
We have just spent the most wonderful day with Hiro, touring the amazing sites of Kamakura. She was recommended to us by a friend who had toured with her previously and certainly did not disappoint! From the first inquiry she was a joy to work with, communicating with us before the trip to tailor the day to our interests and providing clear travel recommendations to help us get from Tokyo to Kamakura easily (it is astonishingly easy, by the way). As a guide, she is kind, friendly, fun and very very knowledgeable. We felt like we had spent the day with a new local friend. If you are considering visiting Kamakura, I cannot recommend Hiro highly enough! You will never regret booking a tour with her.

Hello, dear Julie! I really appreciate your wonderful comment, and I feel so grateful for getting to know you and William thanks to Amy. I also had a great day with such wonderful people like you two. Thank you so much for having me on your precious trip with your beloved son, and I really appreciate your interest in Kamakura and your profound understanding about Japanese culture. On that day, I was the happiest guide in Japan talking and walking with you two including singing and vending-machine hunting :-). The day with you has become an unforgettable memory of mine. Please convey my best regards to William and Amy. Thanks again, Julie, for everything. It would be so wonderful if I could see you again some time. Warmest regards, Hiro

“Lovely tour in Kamakura ”
Hiro is a very good guide and an extremely friendly person. Her English is excellent. She is always ready to explain a lot about what you are seeing and discuss about Japanese culture. We managed to see a lot of things in only half a day without the being rushed through our tour. Hiro was so kind to gift us with our own kanji name and an origami. She also managed to find us a great vegan spot for lunch. It was a great tour and we would totally recommend her as your guide. Thank you!

Hello, Giuseppe! Thank you so much for your kind words! I was the happiest guide in Japan on that day being with you and your wonderful family. Thank YOU for having me in your very special family tour. Always being full of smiles, what a cheerful family you are! Every one of you impressed me a lot, and I really feel grateful for letting me in your happy hours in Kamakura. Also thank you for the photos. They will be my treasure of the unforgettable time with you. From now on, whenever I have "Monburan" or "Daifuku-mochi", I'm sure I will remember all of your smiles. Thanks a million, again. Please convey my best regards to your beautiful wife and daughters. Cheers! Hiro

Hiro is a lovely guide! She is so knowledgeable and kind, and tailored my day to what I wanted to see. We covered a lot of ground and she made sure we had plenty of time at every site, that she answered my questions, and that the day was well planned. I would recommend her gladly! Thank you Hiro for a great day!
