About Tour Guide Yumiko K.
Hello, I am Yumiko, a government licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Aichi prefecture. I have lived in Gotemba City at the foot of Mt. Fuji for over 35 years since I moved from Tokyo. Needless to say, Mt. Fuji is a symbol of Japan. It shows many faces depending on the seasons and time of the day. Many tourists visit here to see Mt. Fuji from home and abroad every year.
Gotemba is located halfway between Hakone and Fuji five lakes area. And it is easily accessible from Tokyo. You can come to Gotemba from Shinjuku in Tokyo by Odakyu highway bus or Odakyu limited express train without any transfers. Please visit attractive sightseeing spots in Gotemba, such as Chichibunomiya Memorial Park, Tokino Sumika and Gotemba Premium Outlets, the biggest outlet mall in Japan.
I love eating, chatting, traveling abroad and meeting people. And I enjoy tea ceremony and ballroom dancing.
I would be happy if I could show you around Gotemba and Hakone area. I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Fascinating and fun a zone dyeing and beautiful Mt Fuji onsen”
Yumiko is a wonderful guide. Her English is very good and we were able to ask many questions of the indigo master with her help. The onsen she selected was beautiful and we had an incredible view of Mt. Fuji. She was a pleasure to be with and took us to a delicious sushi restaurant as well. I highly recommend this tour.

“Great tour for Gotemba ”
We did a tour of the beautiful town Gotemba on April 15! Yumiko was able to show us some amazing cherry blossoms across a variety of parks and gardens. We also saw Mt. Fuji it was very beautiful. Thank you Yumiko for your friendly tour and hopefully we can visit Gotemba again one day!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting Gotemba. I am happy you enjoyed the cherry blossom viewing and Mount Fuji. We walked over 23,000 steps yesterday. It was a pleasure to show you around Gotemba. Please visit here again to see big Mount Fuji someday. I put up your photo on my profile page. Thank you again!

“An unforgettable trip to a breathtaking part of Japan”
Yumiko-San was an absolutely amazing tour guide! She helped us plan beforehand, and was very flexible with adjustments to the schedule. She was knowledgeable about the area, took us to some amazing places, and had everything prepared before that. Using the public transportation was a breeze with her help! But best of all, she was extremely kind and lovely to chat with. We had a great time talking about travel, family, everything! If you come to Hakone, absolutely consider going with Yumiko-San. Finally, if you see this Yumiko-San, then thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! My dad and I will never forget the adventure we had with you.

Your thoughtful message means a lot to me. It is I who should be sincerely thanking you. I feel very lucky to guide such kind, friendly and broad-minded guests. The weather was not perfect, but I hope you will bring back some happy memories of your time in Hakone to your countries. Please visit Hakone again and stay at that beautiful hotel someday. Wishing you very best of health and happiness. PS. Thank you for beautiful pictures! I put up your pictures I took on my tour page. Thank you again!

Hi! I am Macky. I am glad to accompany you on your tour to Japan and show you the beauty and experiences Japan has to offer. I am an English tour guide and I have guided many foreign visitors around Kamakura, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and Hakone. I love sightseeing myself and I enjoy food and wine… I have been interested in intercultural exchanges and have visited many places locally and overseas alike. I have strong passion in Japanese history, culture, and geography. More than just simply showing you the stunning beauty of the places, I love to impart the cultural and historical value of each sightseeing spot. The place I can guide tourists best is Kamakura which has major shrines and temples with historical and religious details. It can be fun not only to explore Kamakura from historical point of view but also experience various activities such as hiking, rental kimono-clad walking, and learning carving technique as well as soba noodle preparation. I am flexible. My guide is unique and comprehensive. If you want to make the most out of your trip, I can show you around and make you experience Japan to the fullest. I can accommodate the tour according to your needs and preferences giving you a hassle-free, enjoyable and memorable tour. I can also take you to non tourism places such as various factory tours in Yokohama and Kawasaki City.
