About Tour Guide Kumiko K.
My name is Kumiko.
I used to live in New York and London and worked for US companies for many years. Based on my experience, I recognize that Japan is a fascinating country, but at the same time, it is unique in many ways. Tokyo, as the capital of Japan, is a unique and diverse mix of cutting-edge technology, traditional culture, and Western influences.
As an art lover, I am happy to show you many galleries in Tokyo. I received a Certificate of Art Business Masterclass from Christie's.
As a guide, I'd like to explain to my guests about Japanese culture as well as background and introduce popular places and food. I think most visitors coming to Japan are hoping both to enjoy themselves and also have a meaningful encounter with a different culture.
I am looking forward to helping you explore my city and enjoy everything it has to offer.

Dear Paul and Sue, Thank you so much for your kind words, but you’re giving me too much credit. I really enjoyed the time together. Additionally, you learned everything quickly, thanks to your thorough preparation over the past two years. I liked your friendly, kind, and warm vibe, which made me feel very comfortable being with you. Hope you enjoy every moment of your stay in Japan. Yes, see you at the Royal Academy, Summer Exhibition next time. With best regards, Kumiko Kawai

“Highest Rating”
Kumiko's knowledge, intelligence and kindness were greatly appreciated. A wonderful tour, anyone would be fortunate to have heras a guide.
Kumiko K.
Dear Bruce S, Thanks very much for your excellent feedback. I am so glad you liked the tour, because I was worried about how I could satisfy the guests when the galleries we originally planned to visit were closed on Monday. Please enjoy staying in Japan and come back! With best regards, Kumiko Kawai

“A Delightful Few Hours”
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Kumiko. Some guides can be a struggle to communicate with because their English isn't so easily understood. But conversation flowed with Kumiko and the time raced away far too quickly. As a frequent visitor to Tokyo I really enjoyed being taken to some areas I hadn't been to before. I will not hesitate to book Kumiko again in the future.
Kumiko K.
Dear Simon, Thanks very much for your excellent feedback. I certainly enjoyed the time we spent exploring the Daikanyama area. It was interesting to hear your work experience and impression of the art at the gallery. I'm looking forward to hearing from you in the future. Best, Kumiko Kawai

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.
