A Stopover from Shinkansen for Mt. Fuji and Green Tea Farm
Joined 2018
Traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto? Why don't you break your journey at Fujinomiya? It is at the southwestern skirt of Mt. Fuji, and is easily accessible for people traveling on Shinkansen train. Why don't you enjoy view of Mt. Fuji, a historical shrine worshipping the sacred mountain (World Heritage Site), a fine museum and a green tea farm?

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!

“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!
