About Tour Guide Hiromi Y.

Hi, I am Hiromi, a National licensed guide in English. I studied in England and U.S. during my 20s and 30s. I graduated college in NY. While I lived in overseas and experiencing different culture, I had chances to look at Japanese culture from the outside. And I realized its richness and uniqueness. Experiencing different culture was like discovering my own culture.

I live west part of Tokyo with my husband. Whenever we have time we like traveling. Also I have been practicing tea gathering (tea ceremony) about 10 years.

In Tokyo, there exist traditional culture as well as pop culture. There are so many places I would like to show you.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you exquisite part of Tokyo. Let’ enjoy exploring TOKYO with me! I’m looking forward to sharing memorable experience with you.

“Beautiful Garden Tour”

We had a wonderful time walking two beautiful Japanese gardens with Hiromi. She is very professional, communicating before and after the tour, which was appreciated. There was an agenda of our time presented before heading out, so we would know what to expect. Hiromi explained the meaning and history of each garden and walked us through while pointing out highlights and plants. She additionally shared information about other important gardens that we might want to see while in Tokyo. We would recommend this tour and Hiromi!

Hiromi Y.

Thank you very much for submitting very nice review. It was a great pleasure to share those peaceful moments with you both while walking through the beautiful Japanese gardens. Next time, if you have the chance, try venturing out to the western part of Tokyo, too :)

“Amazing Tea Ceremony ”

Hiromi brought some tranquility to a bustling city. After 3 days of exciting sightseeing, we were ready for this event. After a relaxing walk in the park we travelled to an authentic Japanese tea house where we learned the process from a tea master. Very Zen and learned how important this is to their way of life.
