About Tour Guide Nahomi O.
Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Miura Peninsula, a beautiful coastal area just south of Tokyo. I’ve been living here for nearly 10 years, surrounded by the sea, fields, and a peaceful way of life.
The Miura Peninsula has many unique towns. Kamakura is an old capital where Japan’s first samurai government began. Yokosuka has long been a base for the Japanese Navy, and today it is a special mix of American and Japanese naval cultures. Misaki & Jogashima (Miura City) is a quiet fishing and farming town, very different from busy Tokyo. Hayama is a beautiful town with a summer house of the Japanese Imperial Family.
Through my tours, I want to show not only the famous places but also everyday life in Japan—especially how people live in small towns outside the big city. I hope you can feel the calm, kindness, and beauty of local life.
I’d love to show you the slower, more local side of Japan.
Let’s explore together!

“Enlightening Experience in Kamakura”
We had a wonderful small-group tour with Nahomi, who was friendly, outgoing, and highly knowledgeable. As a local guide, she has a deep understanding of Kamakura and expertly tailored our itinerary to include meaningful historical sites, as well as great spots for shopping. Given how much there is to see in Kamakura, she focused on historically significant temples like Engaku-ji and Kencho-ji, while steering us away from the main tourist crowds. The result felt like a private tour, with many moments where we had the sites almost entirely to ourselves. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I really enjoyed exploring Kamakura with you and your family. I was touched by your kindness, your thoughtfulness, and the way you respect Japanese culture and truly try to enjoy the experience. Thank you for this special time together. I hope the rest of your trip in Japan will be wonderful over the next few days. Let’s definitely meet again!

“Kamakura Briefing ”
Nahomi provided the most comprehensive and meticulously prepared itinerary for us which was most appreciated. We most certainly will be returning in the future to spend additional time with her.

“A wonderful Kamakura tour”
I booked a day trip with Nahomi to visit Kamakura. With full cherry blossom in front of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, it was so beautiful. I will remember this place for a long time. Being a local person, Nahomi is very knowledgeable with this area. She is very nice and did everything she could to adjust her plan and tour arrangement to accommodate schedule and situation. Many thanks, Nahomi.
Nahomi O.
Thank you for joining my tour this time! You are such a thoughtful person, and I really enjoyed exploring Kamakura with you. Everything felt perfect—the clear morning after the rain, the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the ideal temperature, and Kamakura in the early hours before the crowds. It was the best combination of conditions, and it made me very happy for you. I hope we can meet again someday!

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.

Shin N.
Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years. I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots. I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto, so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities. I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains. I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit. I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one. It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule, in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!

Hallo alle meine Gäste! Vielen lieben Dank, dass Sie meine Profilseite besuchen! Ich heiße Ayami. Ich bin in Osaka geboren, aber in Yokohama aufgewachsen. Ich habe in Tokyo studiert, deswegen kenne ich mich gut auch in dieser Gegend aus. An der Uni habe ich Germanistik studiert. Mein erstes Mal in Deutschland war 2012, als ich Studentin war, und damals habe ich einen Monat in München einen Deutschkurs gemacht. Da habe ich viel erlebt und erfahrt und war total begeistert für die deutsche Kultur, Sitten, einfach alles, natürlich Leute auch :) Nach dem Studium bin ich nach Deutschland (München und Augsburg) geflogen, um richtig Deutsch zu lernen. In den Schulzeiten habe ich viele Erfahrungen in der Gastronomie gesammelt. In Deutschland habe ich als Kellnerin in einem japanischen Restaurant und Japanischlehrerin gearbeitet. Aktuell bin ich auch private Japanischlehrerin (ich habe auch einen Vertrag mit der amerikanischen Marine) und gelegentlich Reiseführerin. Mein Hobbies sind Reisen, Lesen, Kochen, etwas Süßes backen usw. Ich würde Sie sehr gerne Tokyo bzw Yokohama oder Kamakura und Yokosuka zeigen :)
