About Tour Guide Fumi U.

I have spent nearly 30 years working in a Government organization, contributing to development projects in Latin America and African countries. During this time, I cultivated strong cross-cultural understanding and effective communication skills.

For the past 10 years, I have lived in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Guanajuato, Mexico, where I managed a guesthouse, operated a jewelry workshop, and provided guided tours. Through these experiences, I have developed a deep sense of hospitality and attentiveness, ensuring that visitors have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Leveraging these skills, I am dedicated to sharing the beauty of Japan with international guests and creating unforgettable travel experiences.

A great time seeing Kyoto's timeless treasures!

Fumi knows Kyoto like the back of her hand. She met me at my hotel; from there I relaxed into following her as we walked to each train and bus and taxi stop. Was a pleasure to have such easy communication between the two of us, like we were old friends from the past. I enjoyed her company and her desire to help me find the places and things I was looking for. Fumi is understanding and flexible. I am in total appreciation of skills as a guide and human being. Thank you Fumi. So glad to have met you.

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. I'm so glad that we were able to share such a pleasant time together. You are very gentle and inteligent person, I learnt a lot from you too. I hope we can meet again someday when you visit Kyoto.

Amazing tour for both English and Spanish speakers

I joined my wife’s Spanish speaking family and had a great time with Fumi. She would switch back and forth from Spanish to English so all of us could enjoy it! She was amazing! Thank you!

Thank you so much for writing a nice review. I am very happy that you enjoyed the tour. Next time please come and visit Kyoto again with your wife and your baby. I hope you, your nephew and niece return home safely with lots of happy memories.

One day Tour of Kyoto

Fumi was the best guide we had during our Japan tour. We booked a one-day Kyoto tour with her, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From promptly answering all our questions before we met to arriving on time at the designated meeting point, Fumi was professional, organized, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. She patiently explained the history and cultural significance of every place we visited and even accompanied us on several long walks to ensure we had the best possible experience. One incident that truly highlighted her dedication occurred when we accidentally left our mobile phone in a taxi. Fumi immediately took charge, contacted the right people, and successfully helped us recover it—something we would have struggled to do on our own. My wife, son, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the thoughtfully planned itinerary. We only wished we had more time to spend exploring Kyoto with her. The next time I visit Kyoto, I will definitely reach out to Fumi again through this website to discover even more of the city's rich culture and history. I highly recommend Fumi to anyone interested in learning about Kyoto's heritage and traditions. Her knowledge is exceptional, and her passion for sharing it makes the experience truly memorable. Thank you, Fumi, for making our visit so special. We wish you continued success in your work!

Thank you so much for writing a wonderful review. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the tour. The day I spent with you and your family was an unforgettable one for me as well. It was a wonderful day with beautiful weather. I learned a lot from you about India, and it brought back fond memories of my own trip to India when I was younger. I'm also glad that your wife's cell phone was found without any problems thanks to the taxi company's quick response. Hope you come back to Kyoto and see you again.
