“My visit to Japan ”
My time with Hiromi was wonderful. She was perfect, very professional, knowledgeable, polite and friendly. We met the lovely Hiromi in the lobby of our hotel. We took the train, our custom itinerary included tea ceremony, we rented traditional Kimono, went shopping, visited a micro pig cafe, and the Kantebyo temple in the Asakusa Tokyo historic district. Hiromi took pictures and videos of us, she even engaged with my 8 year old cousin who was very talkative and excited to be there. I recommend Hiromi to anyone, coming from the United States she made our time enjoying and less stressful, and her English is perfect!

“An amazing day with Hiromi—we could have spent the whole week with her!”
Hiromi was the most amazing tour guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about Japanese culture and customs throughout the day. She was warm, friendly, personable, and made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Hiromi made the entire day interesting and so much fun. Our eight hours together went by incredibly fast—we honestly could have spent the whole week exploring Japan with her! This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We couldn’t recommend Hiromi more highly. She is an absolutely wonderful guide and made our day in Japan an unforgettable experience!

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.
