Hi, I'm Akio, a National Government Licensed Guide based in Yokohama. Since 2016, I have had the privilege of hosting over 800 tailored tours across Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura, and Hakone. Originally from Kagawa Prefecture, a region blessed with the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, I spent 30 years working for a global tech company in Tokyo. Engaging with international colleagues gave me a profound appreciation for Japan through global eyes, inspiring me to transition from a passionate traveler into a professional guide. I have a deep love for authentic cuisine, rich history, and exceptional architecture. Unlike rigid group itineraries, my tours emphasize experiencing "genuine" Japan—connecting you with breathtaking scenery, hidden gems, and the vibrant daily life of the places we visit. Let's craft unforgettable memories together and explore Japan more deeply. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you in Japan!

Overview of your Yokohama tour

If you are seeking a day tour from Yokohama, this tour is perfect for you! I'm an experienced national government licensed guide familiar with a historic city, Kamakura. I will take you to the most attractive sites in the old town developed by the samurai. Kamakura is a popular tourist destination about an hour's train ride from Yokohama, with various historical sites such as temples and shrines. It also has natural beauty, surrounded by mountains and sea, and many attractive small shops and restaurants. We walk around the city, dropping in at popular spots, hidden sites, and neat shops on the main and back streets - as locals do so. This tour can be customized according to your requests. I will offer you a tailor-made itinerary. Please let me know your ideas in advance. I'm looking forward to touring with you!
