About Tour Guide Fumi U.

I have spent nearly 30 years working in a Government organization, contributing to development projects in Latin America and African countries. During this time, I cultivated strong cross-cultural understanding and effective communication skills.

For the past 10 years, I have lived in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Guanajuato, Mexico, where I managed a guesthouse, operated a jewelry workshop, and provided guided tours. Through these experiences, I have developed a deep sense of hospitality and attentiveness, ensuring that visitors have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Leveraging these skills, I am dedicated to sharing the beauty of Japan with international guests and creating unforgettable travel experiences.

Recorrido conciso

Fumi tiene buen conocimiento de los sitios que visitamos. Habla muy bien español y eso hace que el paseo sea agradable. Le gusta la comodidad! Solo Uber! Es muy amable y simpática.

Muchas gracias por tu commentario. Me alegro que disfrutaron el tour. Espero que vuelvan de nuevo a Kioto y nos vemos en el futuro.

A Great Day in Kyoto

Fumi showed us so much in just one day. We recommend starting as early as possible, since there are many tourists in Kyoto during cherry blossom season. If you’re traveling in a group of six, be prepared to take several taxis to get from one attraction to the next. We really enjoyed the tour with Fumi.

Thank you very much for the nice review. I am glad that you enjoyed the tour. It was so crowded week, you visited Kyoto, because of the cherry blossom. So, we had difficulties finding some taxis while we are a big group. But you are so easy going and friendly family. I had a pleasant day with you. Hope you to come back again!!

Fumi nos mostrou e nos deu explicações sobre os lugares que visitamos: kiyomizudera Templo , Fushimi Inari, Tenryuji Templo, Floresta de Bambus,

Gostamos muito da Fumi, bastante simpática, nos explicou de forma detalhada cada lugar. Pessoa muito amável.
