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.

“Fumiko took us on a personalid tour that suited our particulare interests.”
Fuiko prepared a specialised tour for us. Sheanswered within 24 hours or sooner all of the questions we asked and at the end of many chats it was finalised. She also gave us a lot of advice on transport options saving us money. On the day of the trip she took us to a wonderful restaurant where mainly locals eat. Great food and very inexpensive. Due to certain circumstances we were not ready to start at the scheduled time. In fact we started an hour late. Fumiko was very understanding and ended the tour an hour late so we got to see everything as planned. Highly recommended. Mike Tagg. South Africa
