About Tour Guide Yumi U.
Hi! I’m Yumi, National Licensed Guide.
Japan has so many charms, must-see spots & must-eat dishes.
Let’s enjoy those with me as you’ve got a local friend. Feel free to contact me to plan your own trip

Big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto is wonderful as you know, but the local places like my location is also nice. Reasonable prices, easy to book hotels, not so crowded, etc.
When you travel between Tokyo and Kyoto, why don’t you stop by at Nagoya?

“Thanks to Yumi”
Dear Yumi Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We wanted to tell you how much we appreciated the time spent with you during our trip to Nagoya. It was one of the most enjoyable highlights of our introduction to Japan, made even more delightful because of your pleasant, personable and perky spirit. The rain was overshadowed by your positive attitude and desire to make the tour a good experience for us and we enjoyed so much getting to know you. The time spent was more like a friend showing and sharing her city with us than a formal guided tour ... Thank you yumi Sincerely Darwin Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android

Dear Darwin, I am honored by the good reviews you have given me that are beyond my means. Actually, the time I spent with you that day was like spending time with my relatives. I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the kind and warm way you treated me. Although the weather was not so great, I had a very pleasant day thanks to everyone's cheerful and calm personalities. I hope you will visit Japan again! Warm regards, Yumi
“What a memorable experience in Nagoya! ”
It was our first family trip to Nagoya. We were traveling with a nine-year-old girl. We visited many cities in Japan. This time, we mainly hired a local tour guide to help our girl appreciate Japanese culture and history.  Ms. Yumi was very friendly and thoughtful. She built rapport with our family quickly. She was accommodating and tailormade a bespoke day tour experience for us, particularly for our girl who loves crafts. We had a great time learning about Japanese culture and the history of Aichi prefecture from her. Thank you, Yumi, for creating a memorable experience for us.

Thank you Maggie for the highest praise. It was a really hot day that day, but I had a great time enjoying Nagoya's culture and food with you all. It was a great experience to be asked so many questions by those of you who had done your research on Japanese history beforehand. The craft store was fun! Please come to Nagoya again if you have the chance.

Tetsuji Y.
Hello everyone. I am Tetsuji. I worked as a public servant in the local government for 35 years. I belonged to the department of Redevelopment, Town-Landscaping, Preserving historical areas and Architectural Guidance. (I have a national 1st-class architect license.) I devoted myself to revitalizing the city by making plans and improving infrastructure for citizens. Gifu is located in central Japan near Nagoya. As just being the crossroads of the West and the East, there are many unique attractions that are hard to discover in hectic big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. I had a hand in restoring and preserving some of them throughout my career and want to introduce them to tourists from abroad. That’s why I became a guide-interpreter in Gifu. I also enjoyed traveling around the world. My favorite part of each trip was walking around the city and talking with local residents. Traveling has taught me lots of things during my lifetime. Now, I would like to help others have similar experience in Japan. Shall we enjoy fantastic journey in Gifu?
Hirohiko S.
Hello! I’m Hiro, and I’m excited to share my love for Japan with travelers worldwide. I have a passion for anime and the peaceful beauty of the Japanese countryside. Born in Japan, I’ve also lived in the U.S. and India, giving me a broad cultural perspective. While I have a reserved and easygoing nature, I enjoy meeting new people and building genuine connections. I’m a car enthusiast and love exploring rural roads, though I’ve also worked in Japan’s bustling cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Whether you want a relaxed countryside tour or to discover hidden gems, I’ll help make your journey memorable. I look forward to guiding you on an unforgettable adventure in Japan!
Michiko N.
Hello, I am Michiko , the same name of Japanese ex-Empress. I am a government certified tour guide. I have lived in Nagoya ( located between Tokyo and Osaka) for 35 years since I got married. I worked for JAL as a flight attendant in my 20's. After retiring JAL, I have taught English and Mathematics to junior and senior high school students for 20 years. I love traveling very much both domestically and abroad and enjoy walking around each city and talking with local people so that I can find out the way how to they live and think about their life. It's quite a fun for me. I also love hiking and mountain climbing in spring, summer and autumn, and skiing in winter. In the countryside of Japan there still remain those farming and fishery villages where people have been rooted in their land and community, living the way handed down from generation to generation. You can also enjoy the original Japanese landscape there. Why don't you get out of the hustle and bustle of your busy life and have a rest rich in nature in the rural Japan enjoying beautiful scenery and local food. I'm waiting for you!
