I'm Kumi H., your private tour guide in Tokyo

Guide #26428

Hi there! I’m Kumi, your friendly guide. My big, happy smile will be the first thing you see when we meet, and I promise it will set the tone for a fun and relaxed adventure together. Here’s a quick riddle for you: Q. If you need a tour guide and a professional photographer, how many people do you need? A. Just one—Kumi! Not only will I guide you through the best spots, but I’ll also capture your journey with stunning photos that you can cherish forever. My photography has received rave reviews, and I’ll send you beautifully edited JPEGs after the tour. If you’re into photography, I’d love to share tips to help you capture amazing shots too! But it’s not just about the photos. My tours are all about creating joyful moments and making sure you feel cared for every step of the way. Whether you’re discovering hidden gems, enjoying a bowl of ramen, or simply taking in the sights, we’ll have a fantastic time together. Curious about what my tours are like? Check out this photo slideshow: https://shorturl.at/rhvnX (By the way, I speak faster in person than in this video!) A little about me: I’m a Tokyo local who loves cats, ramen, jogging, jazz, and the works of Haruki Murakami. I started guiding in 2017 and have combined my love for photography and guiding to offer a unique way to explore and capture the beauty of Japan. I can’t wait to meet you and create wonderful memories. Let’s make your trip to Japan truly special! See you soon, Kumi - National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (Cert. # EN00884) - Trained with the Japan Federation of Certified Guides (JFG) - Studied photography at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York

    Hi Robin, thank you for your kind review. It was such a beautiful day, wasn't it? Now I am looking through the tour photos and the ones with stones made me laugh. Also, those happy lunch photos at Mitsukoshi!! They make me so hungry!

    First let me say that Kumi is an amazing person; she agreed to meet us at a point near our AirB&B; she always has a big smile on her face. Besides learning the history and culture of Tokyo she showed us how to navigate the metro system, gave us a cheat-cheat of Japanese words and phrases, it was like having a great friend. On top of that the photos were amazing. Thank...
