Before working as a Certified National Tour Guide that I started 9years ago, I had worked for seafood industry for over 20years with experiences visiting many foreign countries, such as U. S. A, Canada, Norway, Iceland, U. K. , Holland, Poland, Russia, Chile, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and others…. As well as visiting many foreign countries, I also visited many places all over Japan, from north to south. I used to live in the east coast of the U. S. for participating in master's program for International Community Economic Development where I met people from many countries with various backgrounds. With those experiences, I think I had got communication skills for people from various cultural backgrounds. And, those experiences inspired me to become a guide to introduce my country, Japan to people from all over the world. I think Japan is very attractive country on both culture and nature. I am a Certified National Tour Guide who is authorized by Japan National Tourism Agency which is an external bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. I also have a license of domestic itinerary administration manager. It is posslbe to offer you customized tours depending on your request as well.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Kamakura is an ancient town where is not so far, about 30min from Yokohama and 1 hour from the center of Tokyo by train. Kamakura was also the place where the first government ruled by "samurai warriors" was born in the late of 12 centuries. You can visit temples and shrines including Kamakura Great Buddha. I will bring you a feeling as if you are in "meditation" with the old ancient city in this tour. Kamakura is getting popularity more and more especially since TV drama "The 13 Lords of the Shogun" as its title is being broadcasted on NHK TV program.
