Exploring temples and Shrine in Kamakura
Kamakura is adorable with a lot of old temples and shrines. You can enjoy seeing old structures, gardens, flowers every season and strolling around the town in the countryside. It is located west of Tokyo and accessible by train only for 40 minutes. You can learn Japanese cultural aspects a lot there.

“Unique Experience with great guide”
I highly recommend a food tour in Tokyo with Yuka! She was very easy to coordinate with about the meeting point and my group said it was a real highlight to discover places that they never would have found on their own. They really enjoyed spending time with Yuka too!

I'd appreciate your comment and am happy to hear your group enjoyed the food tour. They could accept local Yakitori, Gyoza and Izakaya restaurants I recommended in Shibuya and Shinjuku.

“Very nice tour of Hakone”
Yuka gave us a super nice tour of Hakone, starting with a tram ride, gondolas up and down the mountain with a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. We were lucky with the weather as it was sunny with few clouds. Thank Yuka for a lovely day.
Yuka S.
Thank you for your kindness and a nice picture, Marc. Today's Fuji is one of the best and so you were so lucky. I had also a good time with your family. I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Japan.

“tour of hakone”
Although we enjoyed seeing the highlights of Hakone - our guide did not add anything to the experience except to help us b navigate from one sight to another. I think touring Hakone does not need a guide and unfortunately our experience of a guided tour was expensive for simply having an experienced guide navigate for us but provide absolutely no input or information. a very expensive but no value tour.
Yuka S.
I don't think Hakone tour is no value tour. Unfortunately on that day, you didn't see Mt. Fuji due to the weather and you were not satisfied with the tour, but this is a customized tour so you can visit any place you like and most of my guests are happy to go around with me and listen to explanations of Hakone's geography and history.

Hallo alle meine Gäste! Vielen lieben Dank, dass Sie meine Profilseite besuchen! Ich heiße Ayami. Ich bin in Osaka geboren, aber in Yokohama aufgewachsen. Ich habe in Tokyo studiert, deswegen kenne ich mich gut auch in dieser Gegend aus. An der Uni habe ich Germanistik studiert. Mein erstes Mal in Deutschland war 2012, als ich Studentin war, und damals habe ich einen Monat in München einen Deutschkurs gemacht. Da habe ich viel erlebt und erfahrt und war total begeistert für die deutsche Kultur, Sitten, einfach alles, natürlich Leute auch :) Nach dem Studium bin ich nach Deutschland (München und Augsburg) geflogen, um richtig Deutsch zu lernen. In den Schulzeiten habe ich viele Erfahrungen in der Gastronomie gesammelt. In Deutschland habe ich als Kellnerin in einem japanischen Restaurant und Japanischlehrerin gearbeitet. Aktuell bin ich auch private Japanischlehrerin (ich habe auch einen Vertrag mit der amerikanischen Marine) und gelegentlich Reiseführerin. Mein Hobbies sind Reisen, Lesen, Kochen, etwas Süßes backen usw. Ich würde Sie sehr gerne Tokyo bzw Yokohama oder Kamakura und Yokosuka zeigen :)

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

Hi, I am Hiromi, a National licensed guide in English. I studied in England and U.S. during my 20s and 30s. I graduated college in NY. While I lived in overseas and experiencing different culture, I had chances to look at Japanese culture from the outside. And I realized its richness and uniqueness. Experiencing different culture was like discovering my own culture. I live west part of Tokyo with my husband. Whenever we have time we like traveling. Also I have been practicing tea gathering (tea ceremony) about 10 years. In Tokyo, there exist traditional culture as well as pop culture. There are so many places I would like to show you. It’s my pleasure to introduce you exquisite part of Tokyo. Let’ enjoy exploring TOKYO with me! I’m looking forward to sharing memorable experience with you.
