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.

“Beautiful Garden Tour”
We had a wonderful time walking two beautiful Japanese gardens with Hiromi. She is very professional, communicating before and after the tour, which was appreciated. There was an agenda of our time presented before heading out, so we would know what to expect. Hiromi explained the meaning and history of each garden and walked us through while pointing out highlights and plants. She additionally shared information about other important gardens that we might want to see while in Tokyo. We would recommend this tour and Hiromi!

“Amazing Tea Ceremony ”
Hiromi brought some tranquility to a bustling city. After 3 days of exciting sightseeing, we were ready for this event. After a relaxing walk in the park we travelled to an authentic Japanese tea house where we learned the process from a tea master. Very Zen and learned how important this is to their way of life.

Explore two breathtaking Japanese gardens
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.
