About Tour Guide Carrie K.
Hello travelers!
My name is Carrie, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself and share my journey with you.
I'm a native Chinese speaker, fluent in both English and Japanese. I've been living in Japan for over a decade and now reside in the beautiful Miura Peninsula. Miura is a hidden gem for travelers seeking a peaceful getaway close to Tokyo, known for its broad beaches, rugged coastline, fresh tuna, and scenic farmland. I’d love to show you around and help you discover a different side of Japan—local, tranquil, and full of natural beauty.
I’ve also lived in Kamakura and am familiar with many areas across Kanagawa. If you’re interested in exploring beyond Miura, feel free to reach out! With my multilingual skills, deep understanding of Japanese culture, and hands-on experience, I’d love to help you create unique experiences and lasting memories as we explore Japan’s stunning landscapes together.

Jogashima – From Tokyo to an island away from tourist crowds
Jogashima is located at the southern tip of Kanagawa, out into the Pacific Ocean. It has been listed as a two-star destination of Michelin Green Guide Japan. It is famous for jagged cliffs and remarkable landscapes. On a clear day, you can see views of Mt. Fuji over Sagami Bay. The place is great all year round with beautiful daffodils in the spring, magnificent pine trees in the summer, a nice ocean breeze and a hike in the autumn, and a perfect time to welcome cormorants back home in winter.

“Yokohama Chinatown”
Carrie was an excellent guide! She met us at our hotel and gave us excellent service. Her smile and cheerfulness made our tour even more enjoyable. She was always considerate of our needs. We highly recommend her services without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure meeting you and showing you around. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Speaking with you also made me really want to go back to the U. I hope our paths cross again someday soon!

“Fun Energy & Great Food”
We contacted Carrie with a last minute effort to fill one of our open/unplanned days in Yokohama with more than us strolling around, wondering where some of the fun places Yokohama has to offer. Carrie responded to our initial message quickly and after a brief look at her schedule, she was able to accommodate our tour request. She offered two meeting locations and arrived about 10mins early (we only know that cause we arrived 20mins early, not being 100% sure of our train commuting skills lol). We decided on a day (4 hour) tour of ChinaTown and let me tell you, we could have explored 6-8 hours with Carrie’s guidance. She started off telling us about the gates at the entrance/exits to begin our tour and then it was food option after food option! (Come to ChinaTown hungry, very hungry… like skip dinner the night before kinda hungry). We stopped in to have our birth dates explored and explained our past, present, and futures (which was spot on for the most part! Eek) After sampling some more tasty treats, Carrie took us to two different temples, each having different meaning, which she explained in great detail that we appreciated. Afterwards, we enjoyed a tea set and an array finger foods at a local spot and finished our tour with a 30min foot massage. All in all, we had an amazing day with Carrie. She has a great bubbly and lively vibe, is talkative (but not too much), and willing to share all her favorite spot in ChinaTown. We definitely recommend her as a guide and will be using her in the future when we return to Japan!!

Wishing you both safe travels, and I’ll look forward to welcoming you back to Japan someday very soooooon.

Akira S.
Hello. I'm Akira.S. I've just finished working as a mentor for new young teachers of public junior high schools after long time career as a teacher. I’m so interested in guiding popular sightseeing spots and also hidden areas in and around Tokyo to you. I love this job because I have a lot of chances to meet nice people from various countries. I'm really looking forward to meeting persons interested in Japanese culture and history like YOU. I really hope you touch Japanese cultures, including Japanese cuisines. I’m coming up with a tour plan based on your interest.

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

Kaneo U.
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 more than 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.
