I am Fumie Ueda, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Atami, Shizuoka, only 50 minutes away from Tokyo by Shinkansen trains. Atami is conveniently located at the foot of the Hakone mountains, and the base of the Izu Peninsula. It is also close to Mt. Fuji and the Shimizu Port in Shizuoka. I am excited to show you around beautiful places that I love. I grew up in Yokohama, spent 1 year as a high school exchange student in Allentown, PA in the US, went to college and lived/worked in Tokyo for about 10 years before coming to this beautiful onsen resort. After becoming a guide, I met with guests from various backgrounds, and I feel grateful once again, for my experience to be exposed to different cultures in my youth. Let’s have a good time together!

Hi! I'm Kitty, originally from Vietnam, and I've been living in Japan for over six years. I love traveling and exploring different places around Japan. As someone who enjoys traveling and also lives in Japan as a foreigner, I understand both the excitement of discovering a new place and the little challenges that can come with exploring a different country. I'm a big fan of Disney, Sanrio, movies, and Nintendo games! I also love photography and enjoy capturing beautiful moments, scenery, and memories along the way. If you'd like, I can also take photos for you during our time together. I enjoy trying local food, exploring charming neighborhoods, and discovering places that make each trip special. I speak Vietnamese, English, and Japanese, and I love meeting people from different cultures. I would be happy to help you discover Japan in a fun, relaxed, and personal way, whether you're interested in famous attractions, local experiences, shopping, photography, or simply enjoying a day out. For me, the best part of traveling is not just seeing new places, but also enjoying the little moments, capturing beautiful memories, and making wonderful experiences along the way. I'd love to share that experience with you and help you enjoy Japan like a friend showing you around!

“My Fuji, Lake Tanaki, saki tasting ”
Moto was an excellent guide and very accommodating to all our requests. We especially enjoyed the waterfalls and our walks. He found great spots for photos. We were lucky to see Mount Fuji and enjoyed learning about the area and his choice for lunch.

“Nice guide, great day despite rain.”
Motchee was a very informed guide who had to come up with alternate tour ideas on the fly due to heavy rain. He did a nice job. Good English and easy to talk to. Loved the matcha ice cream!

“Shimizu Highlights”
Had a wonderful time with Moto despite the inclement weather. It was disappointing not to be able to see Mt. Fuji, but Moto was creative and resourceful in finding interesting and enjoyable alternatives for us.

Thanks for the review and scoring! That is putting to the test as a guide when Mt. Fuji is not in sight. I am very glad to know you enjoyed the tour! See you again.
