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!

“Day with Fumie”

Our family of eight had a great time touring with Fumie. The tour was a mixture of fantastic sites and opportunities to learn. Fumie made it special for each of us ranging in ages from 79 to 14. Thank you Fumie for a wonderful day!!

Fumie U.

Thank you for using my service on your special family trip to Japan! You should be proud to have such a wonderful family. And yes, we had a great time together. The owner couple of the tea farm was very nice and you probably discovered beautiful nature and history of Japan. I hope you will come back to our country in the near future. Thank you!
