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.

“Fumi you are a star. ”
We had a one day tour with Fumi. She was on time, kind, knowledgeable and very patient. We had a great laugh with her and were told about the history of Japan and in particular Kyoto. I have invited her to London so I can repay her kindness. Once again big thanks Fumi.

Thank you so much for writing a wonderful review. Unfortunately it rained all day today. But I'm very happy that you and your sister enjoyed the tour. Enjoy the rest of your trip. I hope to see you again.

“Excellent introduction to Kyoto sights”
Fumi was an excellent tour guide very familiar with all the famous temples and shrines in Kyoto - helps she is local and from Kyoto. She was also very flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to see - for example my daughter wanted to visit the Monkey Park and she managed to fit that in our tour. Good English speaker. I would highly recommend Fumi for first time visitors to Kyoto to be able to see some of the famous places within one day as introduction to it.
