Hello and bonjour! (Le français suit l'anglais. ) My name is Yumi, and I'm a nationally licensed tour guide and interpreter based in Tokyo, Japan. I've guided tourists from overseas since 2009 throughout Japan, especially in the Kanto region, including trips around the Greater Tokyo Area (such as Kamakura), Mt. Fuji, Hakone National Park and the Nikko UNESCO World Heritage Site. I was born and raised on Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's four main islands, and I lived in the Kansai area (Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe) for five years. I came to Tokyo in 1999 and have been here ever since. I love Japan and have lots of information about my country's history and culture to share with you. I'm friendly, knowledgeable and open-minded, and love interacting with people from abroad. I'm sure that my tours will satisfy you and even persuade you to visit Japan again! I look forward to traveling with you! ************************************ Bonjour à tous ! Je m'appelle Yumi. Je suis guide-interprète, certifiée par le gouvernement japonais.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

I chose the most exciting & interesting spots for non-Japanese travellers visiting Tokyo. (The tour doesn't include Toyosu market because the access is not good and the fishes can't be seen closely. ) Tsukiji market: No. 1 fish-market in the world An experience of tea ceremony in the Shogun created as his second house and garden named Hamarikyu garden Asakusa-Sensoji Kannon-oldest temple of Tokyo established in the 7th century, old historical area of Asakusa having delicious local Japanese food! Sophisticated shopping district of Ginza, 5th Avenue-like a district, the flagship shop of UNIQLO is there. Remain of historic Edo-period (1600-1867) used to be a castle of Tokugawa shogun, now a day Imperial Palace At the last, visit Shibuya where is the famous town for the busiest crossing in the world, a bit like Times Square.
