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 mainly involve walking and using public transportation. If you'd prefer to take a taxi, I'd be happy to arrange one for you. The taxi fare would be at your own expense.

“Kamakura one day trip”
Yacco is the best tour guide you can select. She immediately checked in on us to see if we arrived safely in Japan and made sure we departed without any issues. She came fully prepared with her amazing tour. We followed her recommendations for the tea tour and the hydrangea path, and we truly enjoyed every minute with her. She picked us up directly from our hotel, making our first trip outside of Tokyo a wonderful experience. Her English is excellent, and her tone of voice is very pleasant. Her food recommendations were great as well. This was one of our absolute favorite tours. We love Yacco!

Hi Vanessa! Thank you so much for your beautiful review. It truly means the world to me! I feel so lucky that I got to show you Kamakura during the most beautiful hydrangea season. After the heavy rain that morning finally stopped, we were rewarded with the beautiful hydrangeas at their very best. It couldn't have been a more perfect time to visit. I loved seeing your son's curiosity about Japanese culture and history, and it made me so happy that you all enjoyed the matcha experience and even a little zazen experience together. By the end of the day, I honestly felt like I was spending time with family. Thank you for making my day so special. Thank you for taking so many beautiful photos and for sharing them with me. Every time I look at them, they bring back wonderful memories, and they'll always be one of my treasures. I really hope our paths cross again someday. You'll always have a friend in Japan! Yacco

“Yacco was the best part of our Japan trip! She is excellent! ”
We were vacationing in Japan for two weeks and the two days we spent with Yacco was the best part! Yacco thoughtfully worked with us before the trip to tailor our itinerary to fit our needs and time constraints. She took our feedback to heart and spent her own time to research points of interest that we would enjoy Yacco graciously listened and took an interest in us during the tour. She made small adjustments during the tour and made sure we were the focus...not the itinerary. Yacco inspired us, and gave us a tour of the Japan we didn't know we needed. Many of the highlights we couldn't have done on our own. Thanks to Yacco, we have memories of a lifetime!

Aloha Steve, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! Thank you for spending those two special days with me. Planning your tour based on your interests and requests was such a joyful experience. As I imagined what you would enjoy, I also made many new discoveries along the way. Because of your warmth and wonderful sense of humor, I had just as much fun as you did. Our two days together were filled with laughter, and I truly enjoyed seeing the way you travel. You also gave me many new ideas and inspirations as a guide. I hope our paths will cross again someday. Mahalo nui loa! Yacco

“Amazing tour with Yacco ”
We had the best time with Yacco in Kamakura. She is so thoughtful and caring and put together the best itinerary for our family and arranged all the reservations needed ahead of time. It is obvious she loves having visitors and tailoring a program for their needs and desires. She taught us so much about Kamakura, history in Japan, and also about Japanese culture, religion, and tea ceremonies. This was definitely a highlight of our time in Japan and we HIGHLY recommend Yacco to others wanting to get the most from a trip to Kamakura!
Yacco M.
Thank you very much for your heartwarming review, Steven-san! Although our original tour had to be canceled because of the typhoon, I was truly delighted that you booked with me again. It was a great pleasure to show my beloved Kamakura to your wonderful family, including your impressive sons. Being able to share the beauty of Kamakura during the hydrangea season with you all made it a very special and memorable day for me as well. Thank you for your curiosity and kindness throughout the day. I enjoyed every moment we spent together. I wish you and your family all the best. Domo arigatou gozaimashita! Yacco

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.
