Hi, I am Junko, a national licensed tour guide in English. I can also speak Italian to have a normal conversation. I was born and raised in Tokyo so I could say that I know Tokyo inside out. I believe Tokyo is one of the most beautiful and traditional cities as well as a modern and exciting one. In addition to famous tourist sites, there remain many attractions and must-see spots that are not well known among tourists. I have experiences in Japanese calligraphy, flower arrangement, and tea ceremony. I love flowers and visiting gardens. I also love cooking and eating. I like Japanese history and cultures that are closely related to Japanese religions, Shintoism and Buddhism. So I studied Buddhism for two years in English to provide foreign visitors with information about Japanese history and cultures more properly. I have had experiences of guiding foreign tourists as a volunteer guide for several years before becoming a licensed tour guide in 2017. So I can give you useful suggestions in traveling Japan. I truly like meeting people from different countries and cultures, and sharing the fun of discovering Tokyo and its vicinity. I can always tailor the tour to fit your interests and prepare an itinerary so that your stay will be unforgettable. Why don't you explore Tokyo with me? Please feel free to contact me at any time! I am looking forward to meeting you in Tokyo. - National Government Licensed Tour Guide (Registration number EN04937) - Certified Domestic Tour and Travel Planner I am not a driver. I can accompany you in public transportation(subway, JR line, Bus, or taxi), in your vehicle, or I can help your arrangement for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Kamakura, located 60km west from Tokyo, is an idealistic destination for one day tour. About one hour from the central Tokyo by train or by car you can reach the first samurai government site from 12th to 14th century, which features old Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and beautiful Japanese gardens. With hills and forests at the back and a beautiful long beach at the front, Kamakura attracts people all year round. The Great Buddha? A Bamboo Grove? Get around this old city with me, visiting the must-see sites without stress. I am sure you will admire the great scenery. Forget the guide book. I will give the stories about the sites including the history and the culture along the way. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any. Why don't you make an unforgettable memory in Kamakura with me?
