“Fumie was great!”
Wonderful tour and Fumie was able to change everything when we realized that the day of the tour would be rainy. She moved everything up a day earlier and did a great job of planning a fun day and allowing us to see all the highlights. Highly recommend Fumie!

“Fuji Speedway Racing License & Circuit Racing!”
Fumie helped us navigate a complex application and scheduling process for us to obtain the FISCO license in order to race on the Fuji Speedway track. She was very detail oriented and proactive in helping us coordinate with the management company as well as the race car supplier. She did a fantastic job translating on-site, and was very responsive and punctual. We will definitely be using Fumie’s services in the future when we come back to race!
