I have lived in Tokyo for a long time, and I like Tokyo and really enjoy the life of Tokyo.
I love eating, shopping and cooking, so Tokyo is one of most exciting places in Japan for me!! I think, not only for me and Japanese people, but also foreign tourists.
I want to give you unforgettable memories in Japan. My top priority is to help you discover, enjoy, experience and feel Japanese culture, gourmet and life with the heart of Japanese hospitality.
I’m interested in cross-cultural exchange. Let’s talk a lot about anything you want to know and try to do in Japan.

Yumi was a fantastic guide and came prepared with gifts for the kids. She was very fast to respond and communicated clearly the tour plan before we met. Highly recommend her for your Tokyo stay!

Mr. Heath, thank you so much for your wonderful review. I think it is not easy to travel with three children, but they were very bright and friendly and talked a lot and I had a lot of fun too. 1 year old baby Reggie is so cute and adorable, she remind me my grand son. I hope your family have lots of wonderful memories in Japan. Thank you again Yumi

“BEST DAY WITH YUMI! ”
My sister and I had a long connection in Haneda and didn't know what to do for our stay in Tokyo. We arrived really early and Yumi made an itinerary with the time we were allowed. We got culture, shopping and amazing history where ever we went. My sister and I didn't know we could jam so much in few hours. Yumi makes your experience personalized and memorable. Thank you Yumi for making my sister and I love Japan at first sight. You are the BEST!

Since time was limited, I tried to make best make your experience in Tokyo as enjoyable as possible, even if it was as short as possible. It was a really pleasure to spend time with you two, you are very friendly and fun people.I can't tell you how much fun I had because both of you were very energetic in our tours, even though you must have been sleep deprived. I hope you will come back to Japan again so that you can enjoy Japan more leisurely this time. Thank you so much for today and wonderful memory with you.

“Amazing orientation and first day in Tokyo!”
It would be hard to put into words how grateful we were to have selected Yumi as our guide. Coming off a 14 hour flight, I was most concerned with general orientation, the train system and checking off some “must do” items. Yumi completely accommodated this, helping us purchase the right train passes, and planning a day that was busy but not rushed and hit off on a key neighborhoods. We felt much better about being to navigate the next 5 days we were there because of Yumi. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo but also about what makes sense to do in a day. Our trip got off to the best possible start because of Yumi’s care and consideration - please book Yumi to assure your best trip possible. Thank you Yumi for everything!

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special. Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level. I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan. Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country. I look forward to meeting you soon! Depending on your tour and needs, my teammates Kei and Ethan may also join to help ensure the best experience.
