About Tour Guide Fumiko I.
Hello! I'm Fumiko, a licensed national tourist guide. I love Japanese culture such as Japanese way of arranging flowers, calligraphy, origami or folding paper, and wearing yukata. If you would like to experience these kinds of things Japanese, I can arrange for you. I'm good on Japanese history, too. I'd like to show you around Tokyo and other places with their historical backgrouds, if you like. As I had worked for a travel agency for a long time, I can help you travel smoothly and I'd like to meet your request as much as possible.
I often guide Asakusa, Ueno, East Garden of Imperial Palace, Tsukiji, Ryogoku, Yanesen, Meiji Jingu , Harajuku and so on.

“Pleasure to see Tokyo with her as a guide”
Fumiko is a great guide. She was well-prepared with background information on the places we visited, she had a whole folder with visuals and timelines to provide a context fot the shrines and temples. She was kind enough to change my return location ( from my hotel to a tea ceremony in Asakusa) and accompany me all the way to ensure that I find the location for the tea ceremony. She patiently explained the subway system so that I won't feel anxious about finding my way back to the hotel by myself. Overall a, knowleageable and very pleasant person. She was very patient despite guiding on an incredibly hot and humid day. She even even thought of bringing an extra fan for me to use.

“It was like having a best friend show us around ”
Fumiko was very well prepared, very kind and patient, and after two days with her as our guide it was very sad for my wife and I to say goodbye. Not having to work out how to navigate the various train station labyrinths allowed us to get around quickly and see so much more of Tokyo than if we tried to do this by ourselves. Fumiko also took us down tiny side streets which were easily overlooked but rich in history and interest. Going in to small eating establishments and not having to worry about trying to order etc was just part of the benefits of having a local guide. Having Fumiko as our guide was a wonderful investment, and experience. We are genuinely sad that we won't be sharing more adventures with her, Fumiko really became like a friend who enjoyed showing us her wonderful city. At least we will always have the memory of catching fish together in one of Tokyo's canals! Thank you.

“Fumiko worked hard to customize our tour”
Fumiko went above and beyond to make sure our tour was exactly what we wanted. Her knowledge was excellent. There was lots of communication before the tour. We are older and move more slowly and she found every elevator so we could avoid stairs. I really recommend hiring a guide to get more out of your visit.

Hello! I'm Kent. I'm a master of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, as well as a software developer. With over 10 years of experience, I've assisted with tea ceremonies at Zen temples and participated in Ikebana exhibitions for tourists, gaining deep insights into Japanese culture. While I studied these cultural traditions privately, I majored in engineering and earned a degree in the field from Kyoto University. My days in Kyoto has made me familier with local lives and cultural activities. After graduating, I worked in robot software development, collaborating remotely with colleagues in Michigan and engaging with clients and sales teams in Germany, India, and China. Their strong interest in Japanese culture and my background deepened my appreciation for Japan’s heritage, inspiring me to guide tours and practice cultural activities. I currently live in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with my wife, enjoying life here. I’ve joined a robot startup and am working flexibly while continuing to guide tours. My aim is to share the rich history and culture of Japan through my tours and offer creative, immersive experiences.

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.
