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.

Our private Tokyo tour with Yumi was outstanding. Having a driver in addition to Yumi is the way to go. She accompanied us everywhere and gave important background information on each stop. She tailored each stop to our interests. A tea experience at Hamarikyu gardens, lunch at a restaurant with our choice of cuisine (we selected temura). Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Definitely worth the money.

Yumi was fantastic. She was right on time getting started and ending for the day. We needed a car for our tour due to my mother's limited mobility, and Yumi took care of all the transportation arrangements. We really appreciated the way Yumi listened to what we wanted to do and was able to be flexible with the day. She helped us navigate through Tokyo, taking us to a very nice soba lunch, and helping us locate hard-to-find items (she made several calls to various stores). I highly recommend Yumi, she was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Yumi was an excellent tour guide. She gave our party of 6 a great city tour of Tokyo. She is very flexible, and understanding. We learned so much about Tokyo and the culture from her explanations. Highly recommend!

Yumi greeted our group at the pier on time and with a smile. We opted for a car and driver to facilitate our sightseeing venue. We were able to visit seven places including the Shogun’s park, the exterior of the imperial palace, the fish market, a department store, the busiest crosswalk, and a temple. We were able to dine at a popular local sushi restaurant as well as enjoying a cup of hot green tea at a tea house. Yumi’s communication skill is comparable to native speaker. Her social skills is what differentiate her from other guides. I would recommend her highly.

We had a 22 hour layover in Tokyo. I booked an 8 hour tour with Yumi. The tour was amazing. Yumi is just as fantastic. She’s knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Our 5 person party enjoyed both the use of a private car and had the chance to ride the train as well. We ate sushi and took part in a tea ceremony. She comes up with an itinerary. If there is anything you don’t like, she can change it. My entire group loved the tour and can’t wait to go back. Whenever I go back I will be sure to contact Yumi. I highly recommend her. She is very professional. You won’t be disappointed.
