About Tour Guide Fumi U.

I have spent nearly 30 years working with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), 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.

Kyoto Tour

Fumi was just lovely. She was so knowledgeable about the area and the sites that we were visiting. She was a great leader and took us with ease throughout the city. She also took us to a wonderful restaurant that was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Fumi as your tour guide for Kyoto. We have nothing but wonderful memories of our time we spent with her. She would be a great guide for anyone for the Kyoto area. She went out of her way to take us all the way back from the city center to our cruise ship. This put her over an hour to 2 hours out of her way to help us get back safely to our ship. Wow!! She was wonderful.

Excellent guide for Kyoto

Fumi gave us useful information about the sites in Kyoto (temples, bamboo farms, shopping districts) and picked a delicious restaurant for lunch. She was also patient with us despite the 41C heatwave. We highly recommend her.

Amazing Foodie Experience w/ Fumi

Fumi was absolutely amazing! She showed me several restaurants then help me picked the perfect one! We had numbers delicious kobe beef cuts! While eating we had a great conversation about her life and our past experiences! Afterwards she showed me around Gion and give some good advice and several restaurants options that my wife and i should try! It was a pleasure Fumi, and thanks for making my first Kyoto food experience wonderful!
