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.

“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.

Experience a Tea Ceremony & Japanese Garden
In this tour, I take you to my favorite Japanese Garden; Koishikawa Korakuen created in 1629. This beautiful garden represents 4 different sceneries; river, mountain, countryside, ocean as you walk around the central pond. After that we move to the place for tea ceremony. Tea master prepares tea by highly stylized manner called 'Temae'. You enjoy Japanese sweet and tea in a very settled atmosphere. You will learn the the history of tea ceremony, experience Japanese aesthetics influenced by Zen.

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.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
