About Tour Guide Katsunori F.
Hello, My name is Katsunori, a national licensed guide in English. Just call me “Fuji-san”, the same as Mt. Fuji-san.
I worked and lived abroad more than 15 years mainly in the United States, Australia, Abu Dhabi, China and Malaysia. During those days, I communicated many local peoples and felt a lot of different cultures and thinking ways. I was interested in this multi culture circumstance. I also visited many places, some of them were on business purpose, and the others were as private travels. Visiting new places always gave me new discoveries and deep impressions, and I really like these feelings. I would like the visitors to Japan to feel such impressions, and I would like to assist them – this is the primary motivation for me to be a tour guide.
One of my hobbies is trekking. One of the travels that made an impression on me was a mountain trekking at Nepal. I trekked 4 days through the hills over 3000m in Himalaya with mountain guide. Another nice experience was the trekking of Jungle in Sarawak island in Malaysia. The guides explained the natures such as plants, flowers, butterfly and insects of those areas in addition to the trails in both cases, and I really recognized the importance of the guiding. If the guides were not suitable, my memories on the travels might not be so nice.
Japan is really beautiful country. It has seasonal beauty according to the four clear cut seasons. The natures with historical buildings are beyond description. I really hope you, visitors, receive great impressions during your stay in Japan.
I can arrange any kind of tours – from half day city tour to mountain trekking. I will customize special tours for you with proper recommendations.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Thank you for spending time with me and warm comments. The tour today was more focused on the familiarization to Tokyo/Japan which is useful during your stay. There are more nice and beautiful places in Tokyo. You can also enjoy beautiful illustrations during Xmas season. Please have a nice stay here. Thank you again. Fuji

“A fantastic introduction to Tokyo with Fuji-san”
I would thoroughly recommend any first time visitor to Tokyo to spend the day being shown around by Fuji- San. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and will create an experience tailor made for you! We learnt all about Buddhism, Shinto religion and the traditions of bowing and purification before entering holy sites. A lesson in negotiating the, very efficient, public transport system was really useful. We were taken to a delicious restaurant for lunch - the various different traditional Japanese foods were explained. We saw so much of contemporary and traditional Japan. I would highly recommend booking a day with Fuji-san - it really helps if it's your 1st time in Japan, and it's a really interesting day! Be prepared for lots of walking!!

Thank you for spending the time with me in Tokyo and giving a nice review. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it a lot. I could not introduce all of Tokyo, because one day is not enough. As there are many beautiful places in Tokyo/Japan showing different charms depending on seasons, I really ask you to re-visit Japan again and to spend more days here. I am looking forward to seeing you again in cherry blossom season or colorful autumn. Fuji
