Why Choose My Tours?
I’m Daisy, a Kamakura-based tour guide with a passion for Japanese food culture. Originally from the US, I moved to Japan and fell in love with everything from street food to traditional cuisine.
I believe the best way to explore a new country is through your tastebuds. My tours are created for fellow food lovers wanting to go beyond the tourist spots and have a real taste of Japanese food culture.
I look forward to showing you Japan’s rich culinary culture!
