Hello! I’m Ikuko. I live in Kanagawa Pref., next to Tokyo. After graduating from Doshisha University, with a major in English literature, in Kyoto, I started my career in Tokyo. Working as a bilingual secretary, my non-Japanese colleagues made me notice how unique our culture was and finally I passed a National English Tour Guide-Interpreter exam in 2008. Now I'm working as a guide in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefectures. Tokyo is an amazing city where you can enjoy modern Japan, as well as the collaboration between something old and modern. Also, Kanagawa has fascinating sight seeing spots including Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. FYI, in southern part of Kanagawa, early-blooming cherry trees usually start blooming late January. In my free time, I enjoy Japanese embroidery, going hiking, Kintsugi fixing, and bamboo works. Incidentally, I'm happy to customize the tour upon your request and it's possible to modify the fixed tours as you like. Please click the tour and send me a message first!

Enoshima is a small rocky island which has 4 km in circumference and almost 1500 years old history, so it is a popular destination for a school excursion. Above all, it has some unique sight seeing spots such as Stone Caves which have been eroded by tides for thousands of years, the Sea Candle; lighthouse and observatory about 100m above sea level, and three Shinto Shrines associating with three-sister deities. If you are not good at walking, Escar; short going-up escalators, will take you to the top of the Island, but please be advised that there are no going-down escalators. In addition, if it is fine, you could see Mt. Fuji. Let's refresh with walking on the well-prepared course and feel the history of Enoshima together!
