About Tour Guide Rieko S.
Hello! I am Rieko, a licensed tour guide with a deep passion for sharing the wonders of Gunma.
Located in the center of the main island of Japan, Gunma has been a place where travelers from various parts of Japan, like Tokyo, Niigata, and Nagano, come and go. Some would relax in a hot spring, others would be encouraged by beautiful scenery. Gunma has helped them rejuvenate and keep traveling with energy.
Drawing from my experience as a local tour guide and knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and traditions, I offer you a seamless and immersive journey. Embark on an adventure with me and discover the untold stories, hidden treasures, and vibrant local communities that make Gunma a truly remarkable destination. I hope to see you soon!

“Subaru factory tour ”
Rieko did a wonderful job interpreting the Subaru factory tour for our group of 5. She was very friendly and helped us with any questions we had during the tour. Even before the tour communication was easy and she responded quickly. Thank you again Rieko!!

“Gunma - Shorinzan Daruma-ji Temple and Tomioka Silk Mill”
Rieko is a very kind and considerate guide. She prepared a customized tour for us and even picked us up from our remote hotel in Minakami. Our first visit location was Shorinzan Daruma-ji temple. We got to view some sites on the grounds, and Rieko guided us in making our own Daruma dolls to take home. She even helped us pick out temple charms, and we got to see the Daruma doll awakening ceremony on our way out. She made a good recommendation about lunch at a hometown favorite place called Shango. I really enjoyed the taste of pasta! The last place we went was Tomioka Silk Mill which is a UNESCO world heritage site. I have an interest in architecture so it was nice to see early style brick warehouse with integrated wooden frames. The structures themselves are impressive and even more impressive was the machines in which silk is processed. Rieko was a wonderful guide who really takes time to prepare for the tour she provides. If I am ever lucky to return back to Gunma, I hope I can participate on another tour with Rieko.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I’m truly grateful that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure to share cultural activities and enjoy Takasaki pasta with you two, as well as to explore the architectural significance of the Tomioka Silk Mill together. Thanks to you, I was also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the beautiful combination of snow-capped Mt. Tanigawa and cherry blossoms in Minakami. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide.
