I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

Kanagawa Tour Reviews
“2 memorable Days with Fumiko!”
Fumiko guided us for 2 days in Tokyo and Hakone. If we were staying longer in Tokyo, I would have hired her again for sure! Fumiko is very experienced and professional and is the most organized guide I have met. She had flow charts detailing the time it takes from site to site with public transportation. It was quite complicated taking trains/trams/cable car etc to arrive at Hakone.. but Fumiko managed it flawlessly. She worked very hard to make sure we are comfortable and showed us many beautiful and interesting places in both days explaining the significance of the places to us. She was very kind and showed concerns for my brother who has difficulty walking. We had 2 fantastic days with Fumiko!

(32 reviews)Dear Widdy, Thank you very much for your wondeful review. I am really happy to receive such a fantastic review. I also enjoyed two days talking and traveling with you.

“Ladies Group”
We are so glad that we had you to guide us for our Hakone Tour. Nobuyuki san was more knowledge about the local area. And also helping us with the driver to drop us at different location then the hotel. Thank you so much for guiding us.
“She was the best part on our trip in Japan. ”
She is really professional and knows the area! First, she is from Fuji area. This is an amazing benefit of you and your family traveling to Japan and want to have unforgettable memories in Hakone area. Most of our guides' English was Ok. However, Chiharu's English was the best so far. This is very hard to find in Japan. Also, she mentioned that she has a farm here and organizes cooking class. I can't wait to come and visit this place too. Please don't hesitate to book her if you want to make your Hakone and Fuji visit special.
