Dear Travelers,
My name is Hiromi — a nationally certified guide based in Tokyo, with professional experience at the Imperial Household Agency and in global business.
Born and raised near the Imperial Palace, I was brought up in a quiet environment filled with art, tradition, and music — values that continue to shape the way I host and guide.
If you're seeking more than a sightseeing tour — something graceful, meaningful, and deeply personal — I would be honored to accompany you.
My guiding style is calm, precise, and quietly elegant, tailored to your pace, your interests, and your sense of wonder.
I guide in English and French, and have had the pleasure of accompanying guests across Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa, and beyond. My tours are crafted not only to inform, but to inspire — offering insight into Japan’s rituals, seasonal beauty, and timeless spirit.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, culturally sensitive guide with a refined sense of detail and artistry, I would be delighted to walk alongside you on your journey
through Japan.
Warmest regards,
Hiromi

“Half-day tour with Romy!”
We had a great time with Romy touring the Meiji Jingu shrine! Romy was so knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the shrine itself and also about Japanese history. Romy was cheerful and guided us well. She made an effort to talk to each person on the tour to make sure they were having a good time (my daughter said “she is amazing, I learned so much”). We ate at a restaurant she recommended which was fabulous and near our hotel. We are so grateful that Romy was able to lead our tour.
Hiromi N.
Dear Jeff sama, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. It was truly a pleasure guiding you and your wonderful family at Meiji Jingu Shrine. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that your daughter found it meaningful — her words truly touched my heart. Sharing the history and spirit of Japan is something I deeply value, and it means a lot to know that it resonated with you. I'm also delighted the restaurant recommendation worked out well — good food always completes a good day! I hope your journey through Japan continues to be filled with joy, discovery, and beautiful memories. Please know that you will always be welcome here, and I would be honored to guide you again someday. Warmest regards, Romy

“Fantastic Guide Romi san”
A swedish family of 8 had a great experience with Romy . Though we booked a sunday and unfortunately the inner market was closed she made a superb effort to make a perfect day for us. Thank you Hiromi from all us swedish friends
Hiromi N.
Olle san, It was truly an honor to learn that Your grandfather was the first Swedish that met Emperor Showa—such a distinguished and historic connection! Although the inner market was closed on Sunday, I had the pleasure of escorting you to a sushi restaurant instead. Your daughters were simply radiant—they shone like a beam of light. I was delighted to discover how much Swedish and Japanese people in common. Respectful manners and thoughtful sense of personal space reminded me so much of the Japanese spirit. Your Japanese pronunciation was truly impressive! Now it's my turn to start learning Swedish! One day, I sincerely hope I can visit Sweden myself. Please kindly extend my warmest regards to each of your daughters and Wife.

“Amazing day with Hiromi”
We had a wonderful day with Hiromi. We were a group of six Canadians visiting Tokyo, and Hiromi was truly exceptional. She shared with us a wealth of historical and cultural insights, while making sure we visited as many sites as possible. Her outstanding professionalism made our experience even more memorable. On top of that, Hiromi speaks excellent English and French, which made communication easy and enjoyable throughout the day.
Hiromi N.
Dear Eric sama, Thank you very much for choosing me and Japan. It was truly my immense pleasure to guide successful business leaders from Quebec. Thank you for supporting Japanese businesses through your work as well. Quebec, with its unique blend of French and English cultures, is one of my favorite regions. It was truly a pleasure meeting with you. I hope to see you again! Sincerely, Your private samurai.
