About Tour Guide Yumi I.
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.
I’m looking forward to seeing you the tour.

“Yumi was just like family”
We had such a great day. Totally up to us on what we wanted to see in Tokyo, but Yumi had plenty of suggestions as well. Yumi helped us navigate the train system for the following few days in Tokyo, even helped us sort out bullet train tickets to Kyoto. Thoroughly recommend Yumi as a personal guide. Ross & Annie

Hi, Ross & annie san Thank you for the lovely review. The tour with the two of you—with all the walking, eating, and chatting—was so much fun. It was a bit of a shame that the weather was a mix of rain , but at least it didn’t pour, and it was nice and cool. I was really impressed by how fast the two of you walked. I sincerely hope that your upcoming stay in Japan will be blessed with good weather and that you’ll make wonderful memories and have wonderful experiences. Thank you so much for being with you on the tour, I really enjoyed. Yumi

“Fantastic First Day in Tokyo with Yumi!”
Booking Yumi for the morning of my first full day in Tokyo was the best decision I could have made! She gave me a wonderful introduction to the Shinjuku area, showing me key highlights and helping me get comfortable with navigating the city—including helping me set up my Suica transportation card. As someone who doesn't have the best sense of direction, I truly appreciated her guidance and navigation skills. Yumi’s communication leading up to the tour was fantastic, and she arrived right on time. Knowing my dietary restrictions in advance, she even thoughtfully brought along information on local restaurants that could accommodate me. To top it off, she was kind enough to make sure I easily found the restaurant where I had a lunch reservation after our tour wrapped up. She was so fun to talk with and a complete joy to spend the morning with. I recommend Yumi without hesitation to anyone visiting Tokyo! Thank you for everything, Yumi!

Dear Mr. Tony Thank you so much for the incredibly generous review. It’s a huge encouragement for my future work. It was a shame that we had to limit the places we visited since we started so early in the morning, but you are so knowledgeable and gentlemanly that I learned a lot during the tour and had a very meaningful experience. I’m truly grateful. How did you enjoy the matcha experience in a kimono? I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in Tokyo and made many wonderful memories. Please do come back to visit us in the spring or fall. Thank you so much. Best regards Yumi

“Tokyo with Yumi ”
Yumi was GREAT!! This was our first time in Japan and I did not know how to really plan a trip like this with a family of 7. Yumi wanted to show us even more but we were a little too slow. I know She felt like she did not show us enough but we were very thankful for her and it was more than enough. She even went over the time and refused addional payment. We were very comfortable with her and highly recommend her. Thank you Yumi. Hope to see you again someday. : )

Robert san Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I also had a wonderful time on the tour. I imagine traveling with three generations can be challenging at times, given everyone’s different preferences and energy levels, but I was truly impressed by what a wonderful family you are—you all respected one another and enjoyed the trip together. I learned so much from you all. I wish we could have visited a few more sightseeing spots, but please do come back to Japan again—I look forward to seeing you. Yumi

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!

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
