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

    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...

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our tour with Kumi and cannot recommend her highly enough. The evening began with a walking tour through Shibuya and Shinbashi, which turned out to be the perfect introduction to Tokyo’s energy and personality. Kumi’s knowledge of the neighborhoods made every street feel meaningful—she blended history, culture, and fun local...

    This was a fantastic tour and our guide Kumi was 10/10. She was very enthusiastic and attentive to our preferences. She went above and beyond in all areas including sending us photos and recommendations and answering our followup question the next day. We recommend her without hesitation.
