About Tour Guide Natsuko I.

Hello!

My name is Natsuko.

Thank you for visiting my page.

I used to work for a trading company, which gave me the opportunity to use English with overseas business partners.

After leaving the company, I became an English teacher for children and I discovered that I really enjoy spending time with kids.

I also had the experience of being a host family for international students, and it was so fulfilling to show them around various tourist spots and see them happy.

I hope you can have a wonderful experience in Japan too!

Would you like to join one of my fun tours?

I look forward to seeing you again!

Reviews

Our Kobe beef tour

My husband and I had a wonderful day with Natsuko. She was very caring and accommodating. She made sure we saw everything that we wished to see. From Chinatown, the Kobe shrine and the beautiful Herb gardens. She then took us to a real certified Kobe beef restaurant where we had the most amazing lunch. She found us a Saki museum that was open because we really wanted to visit one and most were closed and guided us through the trains there and directly back to our ship. She was lovely and friendly throughout the day and made us feel very welcomed to her city.

Thank you so much for writing a review of today's tour so quickly! I'm really happy to read your nice message, and it makes me a little embarrassed because you praised me so much. I also had a great time spending the day with you. Many sake breweries were closed on Wednesday, but I'm glad I could take you to one of the famous ones. I'm also happy to hear that you enjoyed the Kobe beef restaurant, especially your "wow!" It was great to smile all day because you warmly welcomed me. Thank you again! Natsuko

What a great day

Natsuko met us at the ship and was so friendly and experienced. We used public transportation and with the suica card it was seamless. We went to the harbor, had pudding and coffee in a little shop. Took the tram to the herb garden. The highlight of the day was having Kobe beef in a top notch restaurant with a renowned chef. The beef was cooked on a stove in front of us . SO DELICIOUS! Natsuko is a wonderful guide who we would recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. When I met you at the cruise terminal, I could really tell how close you all were. I'm glad to hear that using public transportation was a good experience for you. The quiet and calming atmosphere of Kobe's bay area made for a relaxing stroll. The upscale experience at the Kobe beef restaurant is something unique to Kobe, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. Please do come back to Japan again! Natsuko
