Hello! My name is Makayla. For me, being a tour guide combines two things that I enjoy: travel and connecting with people. I love meeting new people and exploring places with my clients. I offer tours both in Tokyo and its country-side that will give you an opportunity to see Japan from a new angle. Japan has been my home for 40 years. To me my host country is a unique place of contrasts, where the traditional and modern walk hand in hand. It's a country of ancient temples and sky reaching high-rises, of tranquil gardens and busy city streets. It is my pleasure to help others experience the charm of Japan through the unique perspective of a local, who also happens to be a westerner. I was one of the first Tokyo guides of ToursByLocals - I worked for the company until 2010. In that year I left for Santa Fe, New Mexico to pursue a degree in education. While there, I continued to work as a guide with a local tour company. Coming back to Japan, I resumed guiding foreign visitors here. My intention as a guide is to assist you have the most enjoyable and authentic Japan experience. The tours I offer are flexible and can be customized to meet your particular needs so don't hesitate to contact me with special requirements. I am looking forward to hear from you! - I have a Master's Degree in Science and a degree in early Childhood Education. - I am also licensed teacher and a passionate potter I am not a driver, and cannot offer driving tours.

Overview of your Yokohama tour

Yokohama is one of my favorite cities in Japan. What makes it so special is its unique atmosphere. On one hand, it's a modern, clean, and well-organized Japanese metropolis. On the other, its long history as a major port city has brought people and influences from around the world, shaping its traditions, architecture, and food culture in fascinating ways. On this tour, I’ll take you to some of Yokohama’s most iconic and beautiful spots. We’ll explore the city’s rich history, take in stunning views, and enjoy its lively yet laid-back vibe. Distinctly different from Tokyo, Yokohama offers a fresh perspective on Japan that will deepen your understanding of the country. Highlights of the tour include: - Striking modern architecture - Scenic seaside parks and gardens - Historic buildings transformed into stylish galleries, shops, and restaurants - The colorful energy of Chinatown - Delicious street food - Unique, handcrafted souvenirs and gifts
