About Tour Guide Hiromi N.
Dear Guests,
Hello!
My name is Hiromi, and I’m a licensed tour guide based in Tokyo.
I believe that travel is not just about visiting new places, but about enriching your life, expanding your horizons, and experiencing sensational moments that leave you with a deep sense of wonder. I’m here to help you discover Japan in a way that will touch your heart and inspire you to see the world through a new lens.
Let me share how I became a tour guide. Since I was a child, I’ve always been fascinated by foreign films and cultures. I studied English and French, traveled to the U.S. and Europe multiple times, and was always captivated by the diversity of the world.
But as I started working and met foreign colleagues who practiced martial arts and had a deep knowledge of Japanese culture, I realized how rich and beautiful Japan’s culture truly is. From traditional architecture and tea ceremonies to Bushido and kimono, Japan has so many hidden treasures that moved me deeply, and I wanted to share these with people from around the world.
In addition to guiding in Tokyo, I’ve also had the privilege of taking guests to iconic places like Kyoto, Osaka, Himeji, Kanazawa, and Takayama. Each destination offers a unique story and charm, and I love sharing these gems with my visitors.
I was born in the heart of Tokyo, in Chiyoda Ward, and I’m familiar with the Imperial Palace and the fascinating history of Japan’s royal family and samurai. I’ve even worked for the Imperial Household Agency, and I take great joy in sharing these lesser-known aspects of Japan’s culture with my guests.
I love meeting new people, expanding my horizons, and sharing the wisdom I’ve gathered along the way.
Every tour is an opportunity for me to learn and grow, and I continually strive to improve my skills to be the best guide I can be.
I'd like to share the magic of Japan with you. Let’s begin a beautiful journey together, and create moments that you’ll cherish always.
Thank you,
Hiromi

“Exceptional Service and Guide who made our trip unforgettable ”
Hiromi was an incredible guide. As a single mom with two kids, traveling can be challenging. She was patient, tailored our tour to our pace, and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. She took us to places we wouldn't have thought of on our own, adding unique stops to our itinerary. She exceeded our expectations by providing recommendations for food, shops, and activities. She was responsive to our questions outside of our tour, which made navigating Tokyo so much easier. She is more than a guide; she became a friend, and we look forward to re-engaging with her when we return on our next visit.

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

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!

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
