About Me

Takuma

When I travel abroad, the best experiences always come from a local friend pointing me in the right direction — not a guidebook. I'm Takuma — born and raised in Yokohama, now a certified Onsen Sommelier, and after living in Spain and marrying a Dane, the guy everyone visiting Japan asks: "Where should I go?" This is that answer — the Kanagawa spots I actually go back to.

FAQ

Why would I pay for this when I can use Google Maps or travel blogs for free?

Google Maps and travel blogs give you general information — they can't filter spots based on who you're traveling with, what kind of food you like, or how you prefer to spend your time. This itinerary is built around you specifically. I research and select each recommendation based on your answers, so you're not sorting through hundreds of options yourself.

How is this different from a guidebook?

Guidebooks cover the most popular spots for the widest possible audience. This itinerary is the opposite — it focuses on a specific area (Kanagawa) and is tailored to your travel style, interests, and companions. You won't find the same recommendations in any book.

Is ¥5,000 worth it?

That depends on what your time is worth. Most travelers spend hours researching restaurants, onsen, and spots — often ending up at the same crowded places everyone else goes to. This itinerary saves you that time and gives you hand-picked recommendations matched to your preferences. One good meal or onsen experience you wouldn't have found otherwise makes it worth it.

What exactly is in the itinerary?

The itinerary includes local restaurant recommendations, onsen suggestions, and must-see spots in Kanagawa — all selected based on your travel companions, interests, and dates. You can also look through sample pages on this page to see exactly what it looks like before purchasing.

What areas does the itinerary cover?

Right now the itinerary covers Yokohama — all spots are doable as a day trip from Tokyo. Kamakura, Enoshima, Hakone, and more areas in Kanagawa are coming soon.

What if I have questions after receiving the itinerary?

Feel free to email me at japanwithtakuma@gmail.com. I'm happy to answer follow-up questions about any of the spots in your itinerary.

How long does it take to receive the itinerary?

You'll receive your personalized PDF within 7 days of payment. I take time to research and tailor every recommendation to your preferences.

Can I request changes after receiving the itinerary?

Of course! If something doesn't quite fit, just reply to the delivery email and I'll adjust it for you — no extra charge.

Do you help with bookings?

The itinerary focuses on recommendations and practical info (directions, hours, tips). I don't handle bookings directly, but I include everything you need to book on your own.

What language is the itinerary in?

The itinerary is written entirely in English.

Can I get a refund?

Since each itinerary is custom-made for you, I can't offer refunds once work has started. But if you're not happy with the result, I'll revise it until it fits — just let me know.

Does the guide include price estimates?

Yes — each recommended spot includes an estimated cost per person, so you can plan around your budget before you go.
