About Tour Guide Junichiro K.
I started tour guide for guests in 2016. My expertise is in Hakone and would be happy to extend tours to Kamakura, Mt.Fuji and Tokyo area. Motivation for me is to interact with guests from various countries in the world and to provide "only one experience" in Japan. My hobbies are playing soccer, watching sport games, reading history books, travels with family, and movies. I'm expecting to meet you and talk about these topics.
Important
I can guide you in Hakone and Odawara area if you pay my transportation fee.

Once-in-lifetime experience in Hakone
Hakone is the beautiful national park within one hour bullet train ride from Tokyo, one of the busiest city in the world. Along the golden route, we'll move with our pace enjoying views of Mt.Fuji and seasonable scenes of the nature. Additionally we'll customize our tour based on your preference such as 1)ART, 2)LIFE&CULTURE, 3)HISTORY, and 4)GOURMET.
Downtown Tokyo Tour
Tokyo is the modern city but still we can see many places having Edo atmosphere, the old name of Tokyo in Samurai period. We will visit downtown Tokyo by subway and cruise boat and get feelings both of high-tech industrial and traditional. Also we will customize the tour based on your preference such as 1) ART, 2)LIFE&CULTURE, 3)CITY VIEW and 4)GOURMET.

“Super Nice and Accommodating ”
Kochi is a fantastic guide. It was the middle of the summer and very hot and Kochi helped readjust our day so that we could still see the sights and keep cool (as much as possible). He was also very helpful before the trip and helped to arrange several other activities. His communication is fantastic and he genuinely wants you to have the best time. He even took pictures for us so we have great family photos of our trip now. Would definitely recommend booking with him! He’s the best.

“Great Day with An Experienced Guide”
Kochi planned our day well and according to our preferences. He was knowledgeable and very pleasant company as well. He arrived promptly and made sure we didn't miss anything on the itinerary. At times we would linger to take many photos, he waited patiently and even suggested locations with the best views. Kochi, thanks for a wonderful time in Hakone !

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
