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.

“Excellent tour guide of Tokyo and suburbs”
We spent 2 full days exploring different areas in Tokyo and the surroundings, with Kumiko as our guide, and it was a pleasure. She planned visits to various areas of interest to us, starting with the Imperial Palace Garden where the plum trees were in bloom. We had communicated with her prior to arriving in Tokyo, and she followed through on ur wishes. She was knowledgeable, gracious and accommodating throughout the tour of Tokyo and suburbs, and we learned a lot as a result and enjoyed our tour, with her as our guide.
