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 8-hour Tour - May 2025”
We had a wonderful 8-hour tour of Kyoto with Fumi as our guide. She was warm, chatty, and fun to talk to. Her unique background and free-spirited personality added something special to the experience. Our group of five adults, including two seniors and a couple with dietary restrictions, felt well taken care of throughout the day. Fumi was flexible, attentive, and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. One of our members wished to buy authentic wasabi, and Fumi went out of her way to help us find it, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a personalized Kyoto experience.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, it was raining all the day, and also it was quite cold which is inusual in this time of the year. I was worried about Carol, if she caught a called. I hope two of you are fine and continue having a good time in Japan.
