A day trip in Kamakura
Kamakura is an old historic and cultural city where it takes about only one hour train ride from Tokyo. It was the late 12th century when Minamoto Yoritomo founded the Kamakura Shogunate here in 1185 as Japan's first Samurai government. Many shrines and temples were built as the guardian deity of the samurai. We will visit famous Zen temples such as Engakuji Temple and Kenchoji Temple as well as Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the open air Great Budda of Kamakura and Hasedera Temple.

“Excellent Tour”
We had an excellent tour with Sumita. I highly recommend him. He had great communication to create a custom tour for us. He arrived early at our hotel lobby. He spoke excellent English and was very kind. He was very informative about the many sights we visited. He took photos of our family. He took us to great tourist areas and museums. He reserved an entry time for one of the museums. He helped us with ordering lunch. He was very knowledgeable getting around the metro. It made our day a breeze. We really enjoyed our day and Sumita made it very special. Thank you.

Yutaka Sumita did a superb job of taking my wife and I, to see all of the “must see” places in Tokyo. He also, explained to us the history of Japan, Tokyo and the sights we visited. We highly recommend Yutaka as a guide.

Hello, I was born in 1956 in Hiroshima and have lived in Tokyo for over 40 years. I have a license of “National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter”. I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf. I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s. It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season. Especially in spring time, cherry blossoms in full bloom welcome you. Japan is a safe country, meals are very delicious, and you can explore Japanese great history at the spiritual places of shrines and temples. Please contact me. You are assured to have an enjoyable and memorial trip. I'm looking forward to having wonderful time with you. See you!

Masahiro N.
Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!

Kaori S.
Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. I myself love travel freely. That's how I love helping individual travelers like you. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love and sharing my seasonal favorites. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I often spend multiple days with the same group to accommodate itinerary for multi days by including my seasonal favorites. I often do Mt.Fuji or Hakone tour. In many cases, the locations are mixed up between Mt.Fuji Five Lakes area and Hakone area, which are not the same place. Please refer to the map I uploaded on gallery to check the sites you are interested in. Also my blogs will help your understanding both areas - "The location difference of Mt.Fuji (Fuji Five Lakes) and Hakone". As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. But more than that, I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!
