Welcome

Hi there! I’m Kumi, your friendly and enthusiastic guide ready to make your trip unforgettable. 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:
(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

Shochu-mimai & Zansho-mimai (summer greetings)

Image
Do you send summer greetings in your country? Though not all Japanese people do this, we have a culture to send summer greeting cards. Until the end of July, it's called " Shochu-mimai " (the meaning is something like "I care you during these hot days") and from August 1, it's called " Zansho-mimai " (the meaning is something like "I care you while the heat is still remaining"). I don't like summer, but these summer cards have been making me very happy. :)

Seeing Mt. Fuji from Tokyo

Image
Hi Travelers, this is Kumi. 2-23 (February 23) could sound /fu-ji-san/ in Japanese, so this is the Mount Fuji Day as well as the Emperor's Birthday! (*This photo was taken from the airplane from Tokyo/Haneda to Hiroshima.) Let me tell you where you can see Mt. Fuji from Tokyo. This is the article from my Kindle book "Tokyo Photo Locations." In this book, a traveler/photographer, Cat, asks questions to a guide/photographer, Kumi. C: Cat - traveler/photographer K: Kumi - guide/photographer * * * * * * * * * C: So how does Mt. Fuji look from Tokyo? K: This is from the Tokyo Tower. K: And this is from the Tokyo Skytree . C: Is it possible to check the views before going up? K: Currently, they don't have live cam services but I check the live view from the Government Building . If you see Mt. Fuji in this video, you can usually see it from other towers or buildings, too. http://www.taiki.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/taikikankyo/fuji/index.html...
