What Is a Private Art and Culture Walking Tour of Yanaka in Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests wished to arrive back at their hotel a little earlier, as they had an appointment after the tour. They were very interested in art, so I made sure to allow as much time as possible at the requested Asakura Museum of Sculpture and SCAI The Bathhouse. Afterward, we visited some popular sightseeing spots in the surrounding area. The guests enjoyed the atmosphere of the neighborhood, taking photographs, and strolling around. The Kawazu cherry blossoms were in beautiful bloom, which delighted them greatly. At the requested HAGISO, they enjoyed a cup of coffee. At the washi paper shop Iseya, they made a purchase and were very satisfied.

Hello, I am Yumiko Hoshida. I was born in Osaka and live in Tokyo now. I have been to UK (ESL) and The USA (Executive Secretary course) as a student.
After I came back to Japan, I worked at Osaka EXPO as an interpreter. And then I worked at foreign companies at Osaka and Tokyo. After resignation, I have got the national guiding license. I have been enjoying guiding sightseeing spots and showing Japanese history & culture etc. to the guests from overseas. It is really wonderful for me to spend time with foreign guests in Japan.
I am very looking forward to welcoming foreign guests.
I do hope to see YOU soon!

Yumiko was an excellent guide. Yumiko met us at our hotel and took us on the subway to
our agreed destinations. Yumiko was patient and caring of our needs and was very
knowledgeable. We would not hesitate to recommend Japan Guide Agency.
