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!

“Best Tour Guide Ever!”
I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Fumie during our visit to Ito and Atami in Japan, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the start, Fumie took the time to ask all the right questions to tailor the tour to our specific needs and interests. Her communication was prompt and clear, making it easy to finalize all the details of our itinerary. Fumie was incredibly organized and well-prepared, providing us with useful flyers and brochures about the places we would visit. Her extensive knowledge of the area added so much depth to the experience, and she was thorough in sharing interesting facts and history with us. Her English skills were excellent, ensuring we never had any language barriers. What impressed me the most was how she seamlessly adapted when our plans changed. Despite the shift, Fumie handled it effortlessly, ensuring the tour continued smoothly and without any disruption—almost as if the change was part of the original plan. In addition to the tour, Fumie also provided professional interpreter services during our business meetings with other companies, and her support in that area was invaluable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, flexible, and highly professional guide and interpreter, I wholeheartedly recommend Fumie. She made our experience unforgettable, and I will certainly book her again for future tours and interpretation services.

“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!
