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.

Reviews

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.

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

A wonderful day with Kumiko

Kumiko is gentle, very knowledgeable, and has a wonderful energy to her. I give our tour day a solid 10/10. Kimiko is a native to Tokyo and knows the city extremely well. We covered a lot of ground and what we enjoyed so much was seeing and enjoying some of the less touristy areas. I requested that the day be art themed and it was! Loved it from start to finish.

Dear Galia and Gary, Thank you for your kind comment; I truly appreciate it more than I deserve! I also enjoyed our visit to the gallery and festival in Jiyugaoka. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring the less touristy areas. Wishing you a safe trip back home, and I hope you come to visit again! Best, Kumiko
