Yokoso! Welcome! Hi, I'm Mutsuko, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. A true Niigatite, I was born and raised in Niigata City with roots dating back generations. I would be pleased to show you another side of Japan in my beautiful and unique prefecture. The Warm Hospitality: Niigata Prefecture is located on the west coast of the Japanese Archipelago, facing the Sea of Japan and provides a true insider look into the Japanese spirit. Only two hours away from Tokyo by Shinkansen, it has been perfecting the art of casual hospitality through centuries as a culinary hotspot and nature getaway for the those escaping the rat-race. History at your own Pace: Appreciate history and culture at your own pace in Niigata. Yahiko, National Shrine has been soothing souls, and inspiring locals, poets, and travellers for over 2500 years. Historically significant buildings greet seafarers at Niigata Port and the old town area, Furumachi. Cross the symbolic Bandai Bridge to the other side of the Shinano River where we can move from the ancient to the modern in the Bandai area to shop and gather with young and old for entertainment such as movies, music, manga, and anime. Over the Sea, Over the Mountain, Over the Fields: Nature is good to Niigata Prefecture, giving us four clear-cut seasons. People from all over the country, and travellers wanting to experience Japan with the Japanese join us to soak in the sun on our beaches, relax at spa resorts, challenge themselves on world class ski hills, and dance together at festivals that draw world class performers. Travel with Me: With direct trains to and from Tokyo and an international airport, Niigata is just a stone's throw away to have a unique taste of Japan. Whether you're planning a day trip or a longer stay, I invite you to visit Niigata City and other parts of the prefecture, and while here, it would be my pleasure to help you create unique memories during your stay.

“Excellent guide and respect towards his dedication! ”
Kei-san is an experienced and excellent guide that led us to beautiful places in Sado Island. His strong command of English led us to a deeper appreciation of the Tokis on the island, which I would have completely missed if I had gone to the conservatory on my own. He also strongly recommended us to witness a local festival at a shrine which was such a treat! Lastly, at his old age, he continues to attend English lessons on a weekly basis to enjoy what he does best - to show to the world what Sado has to offer! Highly recommend!

“Above and Beyond”
Cannot begin to recommend Keiichi-san highly enough! I came to the island with the a fairly narrow range of interests and he went out of the way, not only to meet all of my needs, but also to enlist others on the island who had direct knowledge of my field. We spent two amazing days together, exploring some rarely looked at aspects of Sado Island culture. He was prompt, friendly, organized, enthusiastic, and a general delight to be with the entire time! I am hoping to come back to the island in a year or so, and will certainly request his services again. Arigatou gozaimashitta, Keiichi-san!

“Informative and friendly guided tour ”
Kei is a very kind man born and raised in Sado island and very happy to share his information about the island with visitors. He took us to the proposed places for the half day tour and shared a lot of interesting information about the sites, beyond what you could get from the available information displays. Sado is a very special place and I would recommend Kei as a guide.
