About me – プロフィール

I'm a college student, currently attending a university in Tokyo, with a family that lives in Kamakura. I spent about a half of my childhood in Kamakura, and I'll be showing various places, famous and the lesser-knowns as well.

The website's title is Amazing-Kamakura, but I will also be posting locations in many other places around Tokyo.

Please email me or leave a comment if you have any inquiry, request, or even an advice!

実家が鎌倉で現在は都内在住の大学生です!鎌倉のことはそれなりに知っているので有名所も少しマイナーな場所も、また、鎌倉以外でも様々なスポットを紹介していこうと思います。
