Hello! I'm Fumiko, a licensed national tourist guide. I love Japanese culture such as Japanese way of arranging flowers, calligraphy, origami or folding paper, and wearing yukata. If you would like to experience these kinds of things Japanese, I can arrange for you. I'm good on Japanese history, too. I'd like to show you around Tokyo and other places with their historical backgrouds, if you like. As I had worked for a travel agency for a long time, I can help you travel smoothly and I'd like to meet your request as much as possible. I often guide Asakusa, Ueno, East Garden of Imperial Palace, Tsukiji, Ryogoku, Yanesen, Meiji Jingu , Harajuku and so on.

Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

“Best buddy!”
Naoya is absolutely a gem of a find on my trip. There are no words to describe his knowledge, positive energy, and willingness to help beyond his schedule. He is so wonderful and very kind . I was so so very fortunate to “discover” him:) Hakone was tough but Naoya’s energy was so very encouraging. Thank you Naoya for everything you did for me as a solo traveller. You created guidance and support in an unknown country. You are my friend forever!
Naoya U.
Thank you for your comment,Anu. Unfortunately, we couldn't see Mt. Fuji in Hakone, nor could we see the steam rising from Owakudani, which was a shame. Still, we were able to enjoy the mountain railway and the sightseeing boat. It was very cold, though. It was a truly precious time. Nao

“Odawara Tour ”
We had a great experience working with Yuka to arrange a custom tour from Tokyo to Odawara Castle. She was incredibly helpful in organizing all the details, including our bullet train ride, making the entire process smoothly. The tour itself was fantastic! We learned so much about the history of Odawara Castle and truly enjoyed exploring the Samurai Museum, where we saw fascinating displays of samurai armor. It was a well-planned and enjoyable tour, and we appreciate Yuka’s effort in making it such a great experience. Thank you, Yuka!
Yuka S.
Thank you for your good comments. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Odawara Castle and views from the top of donjon with you. I'm happy to talk with you two and you had an experience of the bullet train ride.
