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!

“Small Group/Solo Traveler Customizable Private Value”

Yacco was wonderful. Very communicative and knowledgeable. She contacted us many times before the trip to get our preferences known. We were unfortunately running late the day of the tour but she took it in stride and got us off on a wonderful adventure. She definitely does her homework and had detailed files when we met to teach us as we went, including each and every one of the items I had mentioned in our previous messages. I was quite humbled by her preparation. And her gifts. We saw so much and enjoyed every minute of it thanks to her. Unfortunately my group enjoyed the market so much that we ended up not reaching Enoshima until just as the sun set. We enjoyed the lower levels but asked her please to not lead us up to the top. We were already filled with memories, stories, mementos, and snacks. We regret nothing, except being late.

Dear Ben-san, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartwarming review! I am truly touched by your kind words. I loved tailoring the day to your interests and seeing how much your group enjoyed visiting places that mean so much to you—it was truly a precious experience for me, too. Although the weather was lovely that afternoon, it was a bit of a shame that Mt. Fuji was hidden behind clouds. However, I was so happy when you sent me that breathtaking photo of Mt. Fuji bathed in the beautiful morning light the next day! Thank you also for the lovely gift. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Japan again in the future! Warm regards, Yacco

“Memorable day in Kamakura and Enoshima”

Yacco was a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond in preparing the perfect itinerary for my family to include things that my teen was interested in doing. She is very knowledgeable and speaks great English. When the weather didn’t look ideal, she was able to reschedule our tour for a better day and it turned out to be the perfect day. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We truly enjoyed our day in Kamakura and Enoshima with Yacco. It was the highlight of our trip. Would highly recommend Yacco.

Dear Johanne-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and heartfelt message! Looking back, even though it rained on our original date, being able to reschedule our tour turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It allowed us to make our special custom itinerary happen under perfect weather, making it a truly unforgettable memory for me as well! And thank you so much for sharing that wonderful video with me! It brought back so many happy memories and touched my heart deeply. I hope to see your lovely family again in Japan someday! Yacco
