About Tour Guide Fumie U.
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!

“I would love to go with Fumie again!”
Fumie took us to places we definitely couldn't go without her and enriched our Atami adventure tremendously. She also had to pivot due to circumstances beyond our control and she did so with grace and professionalism. It was a wonderful and memorable day. I'd like to go with her again and do another layer of the sites and history of the area.

Hakone entdecken mit Yuki
Hakone ist nur ein Paradies der heißen Quellen und Natur. Besonders beeindruckend sind die atemberaubende Aussicht auf den Fuji vom Ashi-See sowie die imposante vulkanische Landschaft des Ōwakudani. Selbst wenn Sie keine heißen Quellen mögen, können Sie diese in Fußbad-Cafés mit Fußbädern ganz entspannt genießen. Eine perfekte Kombination aus Sightseeing und Entspannung!
