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.

Thank you very much for your very nice review. Even though it was a hot day, I really appreciate that you and your family enjoyed the tour with me all the way to the last stop. Since you and your daughter speak some Japanese, I'd like to say this in Japanese: Suteki na tabi o! Mata ne!

“Best Tokyo tour ever!”
Hiromi Y, was our guide for a full day around Tokyo. She customised the tour to fit my 11year old daughter and keep her engaged through each new experience. Hirohito is so kind and patient and adapts effortlessly to the needs of her visitors. The day was amazing, Hiromi tells the best stories about the history of Tokyo. Her personality was incredible and made the tour so special. I highly recommend her because she will make your day splendid.
