I am a 30-year Japan resident from Boston with a deep passion for Japanese culture and a special love for the enchanting city of Kamakura. After five years at a major electronics company, I launched my own translation firm, where I handle everything from advertising and technical manuals to business documents, travel, and a range of cultural topics — Shinto festivals, tea ceremonies, indigo dyeing, and more.

Join me on a friendly stroll through Kamakura, carefully curated to pique your interest and exceed your expectations.

While raising two daughters in Japan, I immersed myself in Japanese life, navigating the school system, adapting to social customs, and embracing local traditions. Today, my cultural insights and devotion to Japan fuel my greatest joy—introducing guests to Kamakura, the captivating birthplace of Japan’s first shogunate and mecca of Zen Buddhism, where history and natural beauty come alive.

Come walk with me—discover hidden corners, local life, and the welcoming heart of Japan.
