About Tour Guide Yumi T.
Hi, I'm Yumi. I'm a government-certified tour guide. I was born and grew up in Tokyo.
So far, I've guided guests from more than 15 countries, and always enjoyed working for them. I am a sociable person and love to meet and talk with people with different cultural backgrounds. I think the greatest charm of Tokyo is that the old and the new coexist with each other. Visit a beautiful traditional Japanese garden with skyscrapers towering at the back, or enjoy tranquility of a big forest surrounding a historical shrine, which lies just next to a very modern and fashionable street! What’s more, Tokyo can meet diverse needs of tourists. Whatever interest you have in – art, garden, anime, architecture and so on, you’ll find the right place for you. I am eager to show you around this fascinating city and make your visit an experience of a lifetime, so see you soon in Tokyo!

“Splendid guide, lovely traveling companion”
My wife and I had a wonderful first-day tour of Tokyo with Yumi, who we wholeheartedly recommend as a personable, knowledgeable, energetic and able guide. Yumi worked closely with us in advance to tailor every detail of our day together and ensured that every need was met along the way. She seamlessly wove together the history, religion and culture of Japan to give us a deeper understanding and greater appreciation of this magical country. Thanks, Yumi!

(8 reviews)Hi Alan, Thank you so much for your kind words. I also had a wonderful time with you, as you two were so nice! Now I really miss you, and hope you can come back to Tokyo in the near future so that I can show you more of it! Yumi
“A rainy but still perfect day in Tokyo”
I really enjoyed the day with Yumi a lot. Getting all the information about Shintoism and the late emperors of Japan when visiting the Mejii Jingo and Buddhism when visiting the Sensō-ji was wonderful. Closing the day in the quiet Hama-rikyu Gardens was perfect too. But I also enjoyed our conversations about „Gott und die Welt“ („all the world and his wife“ to save you from looking it up) which gave me so much insight into the Japanese culture and thinking. どうもありがとございます Yumi

(8 reviews)Eduard, Thank you so much for having me show you around Tokyo. I'm glad you enjoyed it although the weather was not so good. Yes, we talked about various things, and found many things in common in our different cultures, which was amazing! Please come back in the near future, as I would like to show you many other interesting places in Tokyo!
“Outstanding!”
Excellent day in Tokyo with Yumi who was a delight to be with. She was very informative and kept the day interesting and adapted our day as required. His English is very good and his knowledge was excellent. She is extremely efficient and will help you with all your questions in Kyoto. I would highly recommend her. Paloma. Madrid (Spain)
