Private Tour Guide In
Hakodate

I am a native to Hakodate,  having lived since 2003 after working in Tokyo for about 20 years.  Starting studying English before 30 years old, my English skills took me to be a translator, then a tutor of English and finally a tour guide.  I have worked as a tour guide since 2014.  The job is good opportunities to deepen the understanding of my hometown.  I like the night view of the town watching from the top of Mt.Hakodate.  The cherry blossoms blooming in Goryokaku Fort in early May are amaing.  There are Western-style buildings and churches built more than 100 years ago. I am really proud of my hometown and so glad to introduce the town to foreign visitors.  I look forward to meeting new people and share my hometown.

Ms Fumiko is a thoughtful and diligent guide who makes sure that your likes are met even with a limited time.  She takes time to offer trivia and historical information on the places that are visited. The restaurants she brought us to were places that offered the freshest sea food and were not tourist traps.  We enjoyed her services in our first trip to Japan so much that we specifically asked for her to guide our 2nd trip to Japan.   If you let her know ahead of time what you prefer to see or shop for, she will make sure to research on it.

I spent a super day with Fumiko-san in Hakodate - she is well informed, patient and shared with me many interesting nuggets about Hakodate - beyond what one would find in books or online. I would highly recommend her as a travel guide anytime!
