“Friendly, knowledgeable guide”
We had a great experience today with Fumiko. She not only came to pick us up at the hotel and showed us all the tricks to use the metro but she adapted the tour to imour family’s needs. When we were too hot and tired she proposed indoor options in Shibuya, she offered bandaids and cool wipes as we had come very unprepared. A 10/10, our family highly recommends her!

“Wonderful Tour of Tokyo with Fumiko”
I had the pleasure of spending last Saturday on a guided tour of Tokyo with Fumiko, and it was truly an excellent experience. Our visit to the Imperial Palace East Gardens was a highlight, not only for the beauty of the place but also for the wealth of interesting information Fumiko shared throughout the day. Her deep knowledge, clear explanations, and constant availability made the entire tour both enjoyable and enriching. I felt very well taken care of at all times. Thank you, Fumiko, for your kindness and for making my day in Tokyo so memorable.
