“Patient, polite and very well prepared. ”
Fumiko waited a long time for me to disembark a cruise ship. There was a lot of queuing and standing in light rain with thousands of other passengers. Fumiko was patient and polite and she recognised me ( from a photo) immediately. Fumiko is a very fit and knowledgeable guide. She came well prepared with maps and historic information. She was very thorough in explaining the train system to me. I highly recommend Fumiko and I look forward to seeing her again tomorrow for more of her good knowledge and expertise.

“2 memorable Days with Fumiko!”
Fumiko guided us for 2 days in Tokyo and Hakone. If we were staying longer in Tokyo, I would have hired her again for sure! Fumiko is very experienced and professional and is the most organized guide I have met. She had flow charts detailing the time it takes from site to site with public transportation. It was quite complicated taking trains/trams/cable car etc to arrive at Hakone.. but Fumiko managed it flawlessly. She worked very hard to make sure we are comfortable and showed us many beautiful and interesting places in both days explaining the significance of the places to us. She was very kind and showed concerns for my brother who has difficulty walking. We had 2 fantastic days with Fumiko!
