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.

“Keiichi-san is a wonderful tour guide”
Kei-san was a wonderful and delightful tour guide for our Sado island visit. He has a wealth of knowledge that he shared with us since he grew up on the island. He has excellent English speaking abilities and we did try some of our minimal Japanese language talking to him as well. We enjoyed going to the gold mine and learning the history of Sado as well as riding in the tugboats. He was fun to talk to and answered all our questions. He also went out of his way to take us to our hotel and back to the ferry the next day which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Kei- San as a guide to any travelers who want a detailed history of Sado Island. Cheers John and Carmina( from California)

Kei was a fantastic guide all day. We had some bad weather and he easily pivoted into some alternatives and we still had a great time.

“Fantastic Sado guide”
We thoroughly enjoyed our day on Sado with Kei. He drove us around to most of the key Sado tourist destinations and was a pleasure to be with. His English is quite good (and improving all the time as he takes conversational classes weekly). Thanks, Kei, for a wonderful day!
