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

This tour is designed for enthusiastic photographers who use DSLR cameras and tripods to enjoy taking long-exposure shots in Tokyo. However, I also welcome compact camera users or phone users. We'll be visiting some places to enjoy night photography. For your convenience, I can arrange a private car upon request. The cost of the car is not included in the tour price and will be charged separately. Alternatively, we can travel by subway or taxi, depending on your preferences and itinerary. I will be happy to help you choose the most comfortable and efficient way to get around Tokyo.
If I could give 6 stars I would. Kumi was great! She communicated with us many times to arrange our tour and help us choose what sites to visit. She brought a tripod for us since I hadn’t carried mine on the trip. Kumi took lots of photos of us taking photos and they are great! She’s so friendly and gave us tips for how to shoot the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Awesome!
A fabulous tour and Kumi is the best.
Our first evening in Tokyo with Kumi as our guide was simply magical! She took us on a night tour to see the best of Tokyo after dark, including the iconic Shibuya Crossing (Tokyo’s “Times Square”). Kumi’s warm and accommodating nature made us feel instantly cared for, and she ensured the entire evening was perfectly tailored to our interests. She brought us to all the places we requested, including a fantastic stationery store, which was such a treat. At the end of the night, Kumi made sure we returned safely to our hotel and even took the time to brief us on what to expect for our next full day of exploring Tokyo with her. Kumi’s kindness and attention to detail made the night unforgettable, and we can’t wait to share more adventures with her. Highly recommend her for anyone visiting Tokyo!
Tour start time may vary depending on the season. Assuming that enthusiastic landscape photographers wish to aim "civil twilight" and "nautical twilight, " I'll calculate the best time for each tour. https://www. timeanddate. com/astronomy/different-types-twilight. html Unless otherwise requested, I'll take you to the following spots. - Eitai-bashi (bridge) - Tokyo Station - Shibuya Crossing However, I could take you to some other places according to your request. The following spots are my favorite, too. - Roppongi Hills Mori Tower - Odaiba - Tokyo Government Building - Sensoji Temple - Tokyo Skytree /// Sunset Time /// 16:38 --- January 1 17:08 --- February 1 17:36 --- March 1 18:03 --- April 1 18:28 --- May 1 18:52 --- June 1 19:01 --- July 1 18:45 --- August 1 18:08 --- September 1 17:25 --- October 1 16:46 --- November 1 16:28 --- December 1
