Yuriko Toba

Walk Japan with me, and leave with photos you'll keep.

I'm Yuriko, a guide and photographer based in Kamakura. Join a small group, plan a private day, or book a portrait session, here or wherever your trip takes you.

Ways to spend time together

Group dates are set in advance and you join with others. Private experiences are just for you, on any day I'm free.

How booking works

  1. Pick a date

    Choose a group date or one of my free days, and send a request. No payment yet.

  2. I confirm

    I reply by email within a day, usually with a question or two about what you'd enjoy.

  3. Pay and meet

    You get a secure card payment link, then everything you need for the day.

I'm Yuriko.

I grew up in Kamakura and still walk its lanes almost every day. My tours aren't a checklist. We go at your pace and stop wherever something catches your eye.

I'm also a photographer, so I notice the light, the moment your kids start laughing, the quiet corner nobody else stops at. Ask me anything along the way: trains, manners, what to order, how daily life works here.
