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.

“Guide was delightful and flexible”
I needed help on my first day of a month-long stay in Tokyo -- getting a subway card and understanding how to use the system, navigating a grocery store, an introduction to my neighborhood, etc. Kumiko was totally up for this hands-on intro, and even squeezed in a visit to a building of beautiful modern architecture in my new neighborhood. Her english is flawless, and we found lots to talk about over lunch. (I was coming down with a cold though, and hope I didn't pass it on!).

“A Delight To Meet And Do Another Tour With Kumiko”
I selected to do a tour with Kumiko in 2025. I've just done another one in 2026. I will most likely do so again in the future. I think that speaks for itself.
