Hello from Japan!
Hi, everyone. I'm Yutaka Ito, your tour guide for this trip in Japan. Just call me "Yutaka" or "Ito-San."
I started this job around 8 years ago and have met a wide range of tourists from all over the world, on various kinds of tours. I've been living in Kamakura for many years. Kamakura is the first place where the samurai government commenced. So, I like to think I'm a bit of a samurai. I always aim to be a true samurai, protecting my guests and staying loyal to my duties... though I might not be carrying a sword! (laughs)
I am in my sixties and live with my wife and a cat. My two children are already independent. As you may know, Japan is a bit mysterious, charming, with beautiful streets, and kind people. It seems to have nothing but good points... Anyway, I want to share the good things about Japan and make sure everyone enjoys this tour. That's a samurai's wish! (laughs)
Looking forwrd to seeing you soon.
