Hi, I’m Fumie — please feel free to call me Fumi.
I'm a Japanese Language & Culture Guide based in Tokyo.
I was born and raised in Osaka and now live in Tokyo.
I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and have been teaching private Japanese lessons since 2022.
I also work as an English-speaking guide in Tokyo.
Every lesson and every walk remind me that language is more than words.
It's one of the best ways to understand people.
When we learn a language, we begin to notice how people see the world, express themselves, and connect with one another.
My hope isn't simply to teach Japanese or guide you around Tokyo.
It's to help you feel more connected to Japan—through language, culture, and the everyday moments that often go unnoticed.
I'd love to hear your story with Japan.
