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.

“Terrific tour of Tokyo ”
Our guide Hiromi listened to our request and delivered an excellent tour, she took us to all the important shrines and gardens at a pace that worked for us and was very helpful for guiding us on the train routes to take when we were on our own. She’s very pleasant and I highly recommend Hiromi to anybody wanting to know a little bit more about Tokyo than just what you read in the guidebook.

“Fun day!! ”
Hiromi was a great tour guide! We booked her for our first day in Tokyo and that was very helpful with getting to know the subway system. She planned a nice itinerary for us which also included a tea ceremony. She was very knowledgeable and pointed stuff out to us as we walked around Tokyo!

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.
