I used to work for Imperial Household Agency. I am proud to have been familiar with the imperial culture that laid the foundation of Japanese culture.It was a wonderful experience to discuss Japanese mythology with the attendants of Emperor Showa and Empress Kojun, as well as the members of the Imperial Guard.


I have also worked at Goldman Sachs. Collaborating on projects with people from different countries and cultures has been an enjoyable experience. I excel in cross-cultural communication and overcoming our differences to foster mutual understanding.


In addition to this, I studied French literature at university and lived in Venice, Italy. I am multilingual, able to speak both French and Italian. I have a deep love for European art, including the works of Raphael and Bach.


I grew up in Chiyoda Ward and achieved second place in the Imperial Palace Marathon. I have also played the piano at the Hibiya Civic Hall. I have a passion for both the arts and sports!


My mother plays the koto, a traditional Japanese instrument, composes waka poetry, and recites it. My father works for a newspaper company and loves discussing international issues. We also have a Siberian Husky dog.


My whole family loves cooking, and we often have sushi parties together at home. We also enjoy inviting friends over for these gatherings.


I love meeting new people while traveling and expanding my horizons. I also enjoy sharing wisdom and knowledge with everyone.

Tokyo history tour

Hiromi was very knowledgeable on the history of Japan. Shevanswer all of our questions patiently and always very helpful

Yanty Y.

Hiromi N.

Dear Yanti and her family, Thank you very much for choosing my tour. I was pleasantly overwhelmed you and your family's deep knowledge and insights on Japanese history. and I was glad to share the same insights on the history of the world. As your husband pointed out, authenticity has been disappearing from the world. What made Italy as Italy, what made Japan as Japan have been gone from today's world. Yet, we both resist this tendency of the world. We can live as Italian, and we can live as Japanese, and we can feel confident about our unique culture. Balance is the key, but maintaining tradition and law of nature would be the key to living a wonderful life in this chaotic world. Please give my best regards to your loved ones! Viva Italia Roma non fu fatta in un giorno. Cordialemente, Hiromi

Hiromi was the BEST

Hiromi was an outstanding guide for our tour of the fish market in Japan! Her deep knowledge of the market and its history brought every corner to life, and she made sure to tailor the experience to our interests. Hiromi’s warm and accommodating nature ensured we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. We left with a newfound appreciation for Japanese seafood culture, thanks to her expertise and enthusiasm. Highly recommend her as a guide!

Chio A.

Hiromi N.

Dear Chio and Kerri I trust this message finds you very well. Thank you very much for choosing me. I was so glad to share many sacred moments with you and Kerri and historical and cultural insights with you. I remember vividly the day when witnessed a solemn Buddhist ceremony at Hongwanji temple, accompanied with ancient court music. I am very sure Buddhist deities at Hongwanji always protect you and Kerri and your loved ones. I am deeply impressed by the history of your family's background. Although we live in the different countries, we are same Asian, and I am so glad to share the same insights about history of the world. Your smile was sparkling and yes, Japanese women put too much on the face. and I'll stop that. We are part of nature, and living naturally will be the key to living happily! How is the knife that you bought in Tsukiji? Do you like it? I am sure it will be your long-term friend. Finally, please give my best regard to Kerri, and tell her, please take care, as, people who take care of other people, need a good care. May love always to protect you and Kerri. Best regards, Hiromi

Romy's translation and tour excellence

Romy's excellent translation and tour services began with meeting my daughter, sister and I at the airport and guiding us to our accomodation in central Tokyo. Romy was courteous, polite and inquisitive and immediately made us feel at ease. Bags dropped Romy took us to a local Ramon house for a wonderful meal and a small shop for the essentials. The next day Romy collected us at our accomodation and gave us options and recommendations on how best to see Tokyo for the first time. First stop Romy took us for breakfast including street food and coffee at the Tokyo fish markets. Next stops the imperial palace gardens and Meiji temple and forest where Romy imparted her detailed knowledge of ancient and modern Japanese history and culture. Romy's courtesy, knowledge and gentle and inquisitive nature makes her an ideal translator and guide and we would recommend her in the strongest terms. Romy's passion for learning and growth prompted her to be inquisitive about our culture and enabled her to impart a detailed understanding of Japanese culture. Thank you Romy for an excellent introduction to Tokyo and Japanese culture and history. Thank you also for being you - a wonderful and gentle spirit wanting to learn and share your extensive knowledge and life experience. Best regards, Ryan, Amy and Shayne.

Dear Ryan, Amy and Shayne, My sincere apologies for my belated reply for your heartfelt review. This is because I needed time to digest my deep appreciation for you, Amy and Shane and transform the deep emotion into the form of words. You, Amy and Shane had been shining from the time I've found you at the airport. Your noble and sparking atmosphere convinced me that you must belong to a very responsible position in the social hierarchy and first-class person. Each of your sophisticated gestures and well-mannered behavior overwhelmed me pleasantly from the beginning and indeed my first impression was correct. You are a renowned lawyer. I was so proud to guide you. You demonstrated for me and Japanese people what is "Nobles oblige", which I believe the noblest principle in the world, and, because of that, Japanese people have been enlightened and aspired to learn from educated Caucasian people, like you. I had been stunned to see your books. I felt I was small in front of such a big giant of intelligence with highest standard of ethics. But I thought I could offer my best of me to add some beautiful Japanese flavor to the life of you, Amy and Shayne. I hope you like it. Thank you very much for choosing me. I feel I am more awakened to be a better version of me, and I became more fan of Australia, thanks to you. Please take a good care of yourself and I am looking forward to seeing you in Australia next time! PS. Your tea was the most delicious tea I've ever had. You might not believe it, but I was actually shocked because it's so tasty.... and I learned, when you make something with elegance, everything becomes elegant and sophisticated......(magic of elegance) With sincerest gratitude, Romy
