Hello! My name is Mayumi, your national licensed tour guide, passionate about sharing the best of Japan.
With nine years of experience living in area between Shibuya and the Imperial Palace, I know both the famous landmarks and hidden local gems that most tourists never see. Whether you’re interested in iconic sites like Asakusa and Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, or want to explore charming backstreets, and unique neighborhoods, buildings designed by famous architects, I can create a tour tailored to your interests.
I also love photography I’d be happy to help you capture stunning memories of your trip.
As a food enthusiast, I can introduce you to amazing local restaurants, from traditional eateries to hidden gems. I have a deep passion for soba and even hold a first-degree soba-making certificate, so I can recommend excellent soba spots, too. (I love ramen, too! So I can recommend some Ramen place in Tokyo)
Additionally, I lived in Kagoshima for five years and can assist those interested in exploring this beautiful region in southern Japan, known for its samurai history, stunning landscapes of Sakurajima, active volcano rising from Kinko Bay, offering breathtaking views and unique geological experiences and hot springs.
Whether you’re interested in history, food, culture, I will create a personalized tour just for you. I look forward to welcoming you to Japan and making your visit unforgettable. Hoping to see you soon!

Had a great tour around Tokyo. Mayumi knew a lot of places to go, whether you like the super touristy stuff or wanted to see more of the regular city without the crowds. She also had a lot of info about each spot we stopped and also Japanese history in general. I would use her again.
