About Tour Guide Hiromi Y.
Hi, I am Hiromi, a National licensed guide in English. I studied in England and U.S. during my 20s and 30s. I graduated college in NY. While I lived in overseas and experiencing different culture, I had chances to look at Japanese culture from the outside. And I realized its richness and uniqueness. Experiencing different culture was like discovering my own culture.
I live west part of Tokyo with my husband. Whenever we have time we like traveling. Also I have been practicing tea gathering (tea ceremony) about 10 years.
In Tokyo, there exist traditional culture as well as pop culture. There are so many places I would like to show you.
It’s my pleasure to introduce you exquisite part of Tokyo. Let’ enjoy exploring TOKYO with me! I’m looking forward to sharing memorable experience with you.

“Great 2 days in Tokyo with our guide Hiromi! ”
Could not have been happier with Hiromi as our guide. Very pleasant manner. Very accommodating: taking photos any time, took us to all the sights we wanted to see and happy to stop when we needed refreshments. Helped us buy our train tickets and took us to a restaurant to buy Japanese food we wanted to try. Nothing was too hard for our guide! Hiromi also went at a walking pace that was right for us. Thank you Hiromi for 2 wonderful days!!

“Great day!”
We had a great 4 hours with Hiromi. She planned a nice itinerary to see Ueno park and Asakusa. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the shrines and temples and pointed out other landmarks as well. The tea ceremony was really interesting. We had a little extra time so we were able to also visit Akihabara! Having a guide for our first day in Tokyo was super helpful to familiarize ourselves with the train and subway system.

On this tour, I’ll guide you through two of my favorite gardens. The first is Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, where a stroll around the central pond reveals four beautiul landscapes: a river, a mountain, countryside, and the ocean. The second is Rikugien Garden, renowned as the 'Garden of Japanese Classic Poems' . Both gardens, created by influential feudal lords of the Edo Period (1603-1868). Those gardens provide a serene experience while offering a glimpse into Japanese history and culture.
