“Traditional crafts and artisan goods ”
What a great day! I asked Yumi to customize a tour of traditional Japanese crafts in Tokyo and she found wonderful shops and markets filled with artisan goods. Yumi is a total delight. The next day she sent me additional suggestions for more places to go. Above and beyond! Highly recommended!

Susan san, Thank you very very very much for your wonderful review. I learned so much on the tour with Susan. It was a wonderful cultural exchange. I was reminded of the beauty of Japan's traditional crafts and artistry. Susan's curiosity, knowledge, and spirit of inquiry were truly remarkable and overwhelming. I will put this experience to great use in my future guiding work and do my best. Thank you so much.

“Great introduction to Tokyo with Yumi. ”
Our private Tokyo tour with Yumi was absolutely phenomenal. We visited many iconic attractions, and her insights made each one unforgettable. She was incredibly accommodating, adjusting the itinerary to our pace and interests. A huge highlight was how she patiently taught us how to use the complex metro system which transformed our entire trip and made navigating the city of breeze for the rest of our stay. Yumi is a true gem, deeply knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the sharing the magic of Tokyo. We highly recommend anyone wanting an authentic stress-free and fabulous Tokyo experience to use Yumi.

Les san Thank you so much for your super wonderful review. I'm truly grateful. It was your first visit to Japan, and although it was your first day, unfortunately the weather was rainy. I intended to provide information that would be useful for your Tokyo stay starting the next day.I'm glad the metro information was helpful. I also enjoyed hearing about your experiences—it was both fun and educational for me. Though it was a bit early for autumn's foliage season, Japan offers such diverse scenery throughout its four distinct seasons. Please do come again. Thank you very much. Yumi

“No one better for Tokyo’s hidden gems”
Our three-generation family had an absolutely fantastic experience at Tsujiki Outer Market with our guide, Yumi-san. Her deep knowledge of the market's history and iconic details truly brought the area to life for us. She was incredibly thoughtful, helping us navigate the bustling crowds, managing the different paces of our group, and pointing out hidden gems we would have missed on our own. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to find some of the most delicious food and get an authentic taste of the market's vibrant atmosphere. Yumi-san even helped us find garbage bins (which any seasoned traveller in Japan knows can be challenging). Yumi-san is in our photo album.. We highly recommend her to any family looking for an unforgettable tour.

Jonathan san Thank you for your excdellent review. Your family was truly wonderful. You respected each other's opinions and wishes, and shared them with me, which was very helpful as your guide. Seeing everyone enjoy their meals so heartily and your father's comical gestures—though it was a short time, I had a wonderful time myself. I think a trip with three generations is absolutely wonderful. I'm so happy I could be part of that memory. Please come back to Japan, to Tokyo. We'll be waiting for you. Thank you again. Yumi

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.
