Atsushi was a wonderful tour guide . We learnt alot about Japanese culture from him. Don’t let his age fool you. He has alot of energy. We had to try to keep up with him that is how much energy he has. I have never walked so much in a day until this trip. What an experience. Thank you Atsushi , we had a good time.

“My day with Atsushi”
I asked for a personal tour of Tokyo & got exactly what I asked for & more. Local neighbourhoods, houses , restaurants, temples & parks. I also got a wonderful explanation of the Japanese way of life & Shinto & it was somewhat of an awakening to how Japanese people live & interact. I witnessed coining out ceremony at Shinto temples & walked in areas with little or no tourists, What s day, Atsushi took me all over Tokyo to find the real places to see, guided me all around the train system & was charming & focused. An absolute delight & I have no hesitation in recommending Atsushi to anyone. My sincere thanks for a most enlightening day.

“Amazing GUIDE”
It was our first trip to Japan. Atsushi is the best guide we have ever worked with and I highly recommend him. He has amazing knowledge of the history of his country. Every question we asked he answered in amazing detail. He planned every detail of our trip to perfection. He taught us how to use the subway system, took us to amazing places to eat. Because of him we saw Mt Fuji on a beautiful sunny day, the great Buda and so many temples and he knew the history of all of them. Thank you Atsushi for an amazing trip. He deserves 10 stars
Atsushi K.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I also enjoyed talking with you two. It was my pleasure to share our culture and history, and I hope it helped you understand the real background of Japanese culture and made your tour even more enjoyable- not just a simple sightseeing tour. I would be very grateful if you could look back on Japan and reflect on what you experienced.

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!

Akari U.
Hi, I'm Akari! Your local guide for Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama. Before settling down in beautiful, historical Kamakura, I lived in Tokyo and Yokohama for over 10 years, giving me a deep understanding of both big-city energy and coastal charm—nestled between the ocean and mountains, which I love the most! As I used to teach Japanese, I love bridging cultural gaps and sharing the "Why" behind our customs and traditions. For me, guiding isn't just about hitting the famous sightseeing spots—it's about giving you those "Aha!" moments through our rich history and customs. As a local, I'm obsessed with exploring hidden gems outside the capital. Whether it's a quiet bamboo forest in Kamakura, a stunning sunset spot in Enoshima, or a cozy local cafe and eatery, I can't wait to share my favorite places with you. What I offer: ・Fully customized private tours tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Feel free to send a message. Let’s make your Japan trip unforgettable. See you soon!
