Dear Mr. Vinay, Thank you for your frank review and thank you for choosing my minivan Kamukara tour. Although it was raining. we moved around with a vehicle which is suitable for your parents and enthusiastic son. I enjoyed guiding your family members very much and the vegetarian lunch option.

“An Unforgettable Tokyo Adventure”
We had a wonderful tour in Tokyo and really enjoyed our time with Tan. Her English was excellent, making it easy to learn about the city and ask questions throughout the day. One of the highlights was that she took us to several hidden gems and local spots that were off the beaten path, away from the typical tourist crowds. It made the experience feel much more authentic and gave us a chance to see a different side of Tokyo. She also took some fantastic photos of our family during the tour. We really appreciated having those memories captured so naturally, allowing us to enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves. Overall, Tan was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day both fun and memorable. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo!

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!
