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 take you my neighborhood where there are many off the beaten paths, so as to see Tokyo people's daily life in their neighborhoods. Shimokitazawa is the Tokyo suburb you need to get to know. This once farming suburb has gone through a number of reinventions in the past few decades and shows no sign of slowing down. Located only a few stops from the heart of Tokyo, this pocket of Setagaya Ward is a local favourite. You can be traced back to the 1970's and 80's. The Kichijoji area often tops Tokyo's most-desirable-place-to-live list, primarily because vast and lovely Inokashira Park is just minutes away from Kichijoji Station, and Shibuya and Shinjuku are both relatively close. Head out here for a day of relaxing recreation on boats and under trees, followed by an evening of authentic Japanese food and drink as you tour the standing bars of Harmonica Yokocho Alley.
