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.

Sado Tour Reviews
Diana L.
“Fujiko is a lovely guide who gave me a great tour of Sado Island!”
Fujiko is not only knowledgeable about Sado but also very kind and warm-hearted. After joining a tour with Fujiko, I feel as though I have a much better understanding of Sado from the perspective of someone born and raised on the island. Through my tour, I could see how the community of locals on the island is very close, as we came across many people who shared a friendly exchange with Fujiko and offered me a warm welcome. Fujiko also introduced me to a delicious restaurant where I could enjoy seasonal fish and meet her cousin. She also went out of her way to give me a chance to taste other treats made by others on the island trying to revitalize the local community. I hope to visit Sado again in the near future to see and experience more of the community!

“Lovely guide!!”
Fujiko was so helpful and knowledgeable in the area. She brought us around Sado island according to the places that we mentioned that we would love to visit. She spoke English so fluently and went out of the way to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. Extremely happy to have met her and gotten her as our guide!

Hi Heidi san, Thank you very much for writing such a good review of the tour. We didn't have enough time and visited only 3 places in 5 hours. But we saw snow left in Iwakubi rice terraces, enjoyed tub boat ride and strolled in Shukunegi village. Sado Island is completely different from Singapore and I hope you enjoyed beautiful nature even a short period. Wish you a happy new year 2026!! Fujiko

“Wonderful Sado Island Tour”
Our day tour of Sado Island with Kei was the highlight of our trip to Japan. First of all, communication prior to our tour was easy and Kei responded quickly. We set up the itinerary beforehand taking in his helpful suggestions. Kei's English is very good and he is a nice, humble person who obviously loves Sado Island. We were impressed with his knowledge of each area we visited, especially the Gold Mines. Any question we asked, he answered. He was so comfortable to be with. At day's end, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. We highly recommend Kei as a tour guide of Sado Island!
