Fumi M.
Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

I have been in Tokyo(downtown side) since I was born. For three years I have traveled in 57 countries and worked in Bolivia for a year. When I traveled in Maya's ruin, I was really impressed that my guide told me not only the information about the ruin but also how to live in Guatemala, how to earn and the political problem etc... A guide is a diplomatic entrance to the country, I think. From this experience, I would like to give you what I have to every customer. Having been worked as an elementary school teacher in Japan, though I know the educational issue as a strong point, now I work as a tour-conductor traveling around Tokyo area. I used to hike around the world, of course in Japan. Northern Japan Alpes, Southern Japan Alpes, Yatsugatake mountain range and Mt.Fuji. The highest one for me is Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador with 5892m. Another strong point is that I can hike with you. Let us make unforgettable and precious moment during the tour! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tengo experiencia que he trabajado en Bolivia como un maestro de primaria. Hablo español y tengo Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera Nevel B1. Cuando viajé unos países en Latinoamérica, me impresionó su amabilidad de la gente local. Muchas veces estaba en apuros pero siempre los desconocidos me ayudaron. Además una guía profesional en una ruina de Guatemala me daban las informaciones no solo de la ruina también de la vida cotidiana. La experiencia me conduce a lo que querría hacer ahora. ¡Ojalá sea yo un guía quién les doy información que los clientes quieren! Ahora vivo en Tokio como un acompañante de autobus quién trabajo en los alrededores de Tokio. Cada día les llevo los clientes japoneses a los lugares turisticos a lo largo de la lista de recorrido. Monte Fuji, el mercado de pescado de Toyosu, Kamakura etc... Como un guía turistico, podría hacer un recorrido ajustando a su desea. También tengo experiencias del senderismo en Japón y en algunos países. El Cotopaxi de Ecuador es una montaña mas alta para mí con 5897m de la altura. Cada vez que tengo una vacación, suelo subir las montañas bajas y altas de Japón. ¡Hagamos una experiencia maravillosa durante este recorrido!

“Unforgettable Experience in Tokyo, Nikko and Mount Fuji.”
Thank you, Nao for Unforgettable Experience! We booked 3 tours with Nao and we had wonderful time during each tour. This was our first visit to Japan, and we were very lucky to have Nao as our tour guide to show as around the Tokyo, Nikko and Mount Fuji. Nao was very organized and detailed oriented. He customized, planned and communicated every little detail of our tours as we requested. It was a great way to see and explore these parts of Japan. Nao was very kind, friendly and funny. He even helped us to figure out and get the best rout and the tickets for our next destination. I will highly recommend Nao as a tour guide.

“Amazing Day in Tochigi”
We had an amazing time in Tochigi with Yoko (her hometown). My husband and I were in Tokyo for our honeymoon and when I think of Tokyo in the winter, I think of one thing: strawberry season! And having done a homestay in Tochigi during my student years, I thought, “What better way to introduce Japanese strawberries to my husband than to bring him to a farm for all you can eat strawberry picking—and not just any strawberries, but the ultra rare Tochihime, known to be the sweetest and juiciest strawberry in Japan... so delicate that it can only be eaten in Tochigi itself?” However, it has been some time since my homestay so I found Yoko-san online who helped make it all happen (Big plus: Tochigi is her hometown)! It was a great escape from Tokyo for a day and totally worth it as we were also able to experience inaka-soba (country style soba) at Izuruya and visit the funky Shinshoga Museum (New Ginger Museum).

(78 reviews)Thank you very much for your wonderful review, Felicity-san! I had a lovely time with you and your husband in Tochigi. Thank you for having me as your guide. I was happy to have helped you explore Tochigi on the tour as a part of your honeymoon. Tochigi is my home prefecture, but actually the places we visited were new to me. Furthermore I wasn't aware of Tochihime though Tochigi is famous for strawberries production. I learned from you a lot about my home prefecture! I'm grateful that you gave me such a great opportunity. I was impressed with your deep knowledge about Japan and culture, also your Japanese speaking skills. I hope you had a lovely honeymoon in Japan. I hope I can see you again in the near future. I hope both of you share a long and happy life together.
