I am eager to help enhance the experiences of those visiting Japan from abroad and make their time here as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. I am passionate about sharing the wonderful attractions of Japan and using my expertise in Tokyo and travel to assist in making your trip truly memorable!

“An incredible guide with amazing english and knowledge”
Fumie was an exceptional guide—warm, articulate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her English is excellent, and she had thoughtful, insightful answers to every question I asked. Although our time together was brief, it was memorable. I’d asked if she’d be part of a photo series I was working on, and not only was she happy to help, but the collaboration led to some truly special photographs. Along the way, we had rich conversations about different aspects of Japanese culture, and I left feeling like I’d just spent time with a brilliant tutor. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

“A fun day of culture and immersive Japanese dining”
We had a fantastic day with Fumie. Her communication was great and we agreed on changes to the tour to include sites and experiences that were important to us. Fumie met us at our hotel and she showed us around the temple, explaining what we were looking at and how to join in respectfully. We visited the cherry blossoms as well as shopping, café culture, drinks and sights - finishing with an authentic experience in a brilliant izakaya. Overall Fumie was knowledgeable, fun and a joy to travel Tokyo with.

“Wonderful Day in Tokyo”
5 Stars – An Unforgettable Tokyo Experience with Fumie! We had the absolute pleasure spending the day with Fumie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Her English is perfect, and her gentle, kind personality made us feel completely at ease from the moment we met her. She took us all over Tokyo, sharing her deep knowledge of the city and its culture in a way that was both informative and fun. It truly felt like exploring the city with a local friend. We saw so much more than we ever could have on our own. If you’re visiting Tokyo, we highly recommend booking a tour with Fumie – she made our trip extra special

Hello, potential tourists! I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license. I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015. Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan. It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well. However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan, without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities. Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan ! Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now! Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ? Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city. See you in Yokohama, Japan!

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
