About Tour Guide 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!

Important

My tours are mainly conducted on foot and using public transportation, but I can arrange a taxi if you prefer, with the cost covered by you.

“Enjoyable day toi with Yasuko”

My husband and I had wonderful day tour in Kamakura. We have got to know about the history of Kamakura. We have enjoyed having tea ceremony with Yasuko. Thank you so much Yasuko

Yacco M.

Thank you very much for your kind review, Indra-san. I was also surprised by the long line at the bamboo temple today; however, seeing how the bamboo grows gave us a wonderful sense of energy. I’m so glad we could enjoy a peaceful matcha experience in such a tranquil setting. Thanks to you, I was also able to discover places connected to the friendship between Japan and your home country that I had not known before, and I truly had a wonderful time. I sincerely hope you continue to have a wonderful journey. Thank you again. Yacco

“Wonderful day”

I had a wonderful day with Yacco, my guide. it was a fascinating tour. She was very flexible with the set itinerary, adding a stop at a museum without cutting out the planned stops. Gave valuable information on how to navigate the various transit systems. (Train, subway and buses). We also had a great lunch at a local eatery. Yacco is very nice, kind and knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed our day.

Yacco M.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Michel! The moss garden after the rain was absolutely beautiful, wasn’t it? Visiting the Kamakura Museum of History and Culture was a wonderful addition to our day. Thanks to your request, I had the chance to explore it with you, and it became a truly special experience for me as well. I really enjoyed our conversations and the time we spent together—it was truly memorable. I hope you will visit Japan again someday! Have a fantastic cruise, and all the best on your journey! Yacco

“Wonderful tour”

We enjoyed our tour with Yacco. She was excellent. She adapted the tour to my wife’s needs. We learned a lot about early Yokohama. Guided us on their transit system. She planned a great traditional lunch in a small cafe. Especially enjoyed the visit to the Maritime Museum.

Yacco M.

Hi Miche, Thank you so much for joining my tour—it was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you and Judy! Yokohama is a beautiful city that has grown together with its port, so it meant a lot to me to explore its history with you. Visiting the Maritime Museum together was especially memorable—it’s such a great place to learn about Yokohama’s story, and I really enjoyed it too. You even made me want to go on a cruise myself! I hope you continue to have a wonderful journey. Warm regards, Yacco
