“A wonderful introduction to Tokyo with Yumi”
We hired Yumi to guide us during our first two days in Tokyo and help us get oriented to the city, and we are so glad we did. She helped us understand and appreciate the places we visited. Her English was excellent and very easy to understand, and she was warm, attentive, and happy to answer our questions. By the end of our two days with her, we felt much more comfortable exploring Tokyo on our own. We highly recommend Yumi - if you have the chance to take a guided tour with her, you will have a wonderful day!

“Wonderful Introduction to Tokyo!”
Yumi was an excellent guide! She showed us all Tokyo’s must see sights and introduced us to a wonderful variety of snacks and foods along the way. She quickly picked up on our likes and dislikes and tailored our day accordingly. She taught us how to navigate the subway system and get around Tokyo with confidence . After two days with Yumi, we felt completely comfortable exploring on our own. Yumi was a pleasure to spend time with, and her excellent English made conversation easy and enjoyable throughout our two days together. We highly recommend her!

Hi Rhonda san Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending two days with you and Donald in Tokyo. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed discovering the city, trying a variety of Japanese foods and snacks, and learning how to navigate the subway system. It means a lot to me that you felt more confident exploring Tokyo on your own. I really enjoyed sharing these experiences with you and getting to know your preferences along the way. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. I hope you and Don have many more wonderful adventures in Japan, and I would be delighted to see you again on your next visit to Tokyo! Yumi

“A wonderful day exploring traditional Tokyo with Yumi, whose warmth and knowledge brought the city’s history and culture to life”
We had a wonderful tour of Tokyo with Yumi yesterday! She was warm, knowledgeable, and thoughtful, making the day enjoyable for all four of us. Her insights into Japanese history, culture, and everyday life added so much to the experience, and exploring with her felt like being shown around by a friend. Yumi made our time in Tokyo truly memorable, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent guide. Thank you, Yumi, for a fantastic day!

Sean san, thank you so much for such a wonderful review. Your kind words mean more to me than I can say! We were blessed with beautiful weather, and it was a perfect day for the tour. However, I was a little concerned that it might have been too hot and that you might have felt tired after walking for so long way. Since you had only a limited number of days, I wanted to show you as many places as possible, so reading your review was a real relief and made me feel much better. Everyone was so friendly, and the atmosphere was full of fun and laughter. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you all, too. Please take care of your health and say thank you to everyone. I hope you and your wife and your friends will enjoy traveling in Japan and have wonderful memories. Thank you again Yumi

Hello, I was born in 1956 in Hiroshima and have lived in Tokyo for over 40 years. I have a license of “National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter”. I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf. I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s. It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season. Especially in spring time, cherry blossoms in full bloom welcome you. Japan is a safe country, meals are very delicious, and you can explore Japanese great history at the spiritual places of shrines and temples. Please contact me. You are assured to have an enjoyable and memorial trip. I'm looking forward to having wonderful time with you. See you!

Masahiro N.
Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!

Kaori S.
Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. I myself love travel freely. That's how I love helping individual travelers like you. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love and sharing my seasonal favorites. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I often spend multiple days with the same group to accommodate itinerary for multi days by including my seasonal favorites. I often do Mt.Fuji or Hakone tour. In many cases, the locations are mixed up between Mt.Fuji Five Lakes area and Hakone area, which are not the same place. Please refer to the map I uploaded on gallery to check the sites you are interested in. Also my blogs will help your understanding both areas - "The location difference of Mt.Fuji (Fuji Five Lakes) and Hakone". As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. But more than that, I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!
