About Tour Guide Ei-chan N.
My nickname is Ei-chan, and I’m a licensed English-speaking driver-guide in Japan. I live in Kobe. I love sharing Japanese culture, history, and everyday life with people from around the world.
I drive my own comfortable minivan, which is perfect for small groups and families. With it, we can travel safely and smoothly while exploring beautiful places off the beaten path.
Before becoming a guide, I worked as a teacher, so I enjoy explaining things clearly and making learning fun. During our tour, I’ll do my best to make your trip both informative and enjoyable, filled with local stories, humor, and warm hospitality.
Please feel free to ask me anything about Japan—its traditions, food, or daily life.
Let’s enjoy a wonderful journey together and create unforgettable memories!

Kobe Highlights with the Magnificent view
Kobe city is located in the south part of Hyogo prefecture, and is the biggest city in the prefecture. It is characterized by a long district which spans from the east to the west, the port which forms a fan-shaped inlet, and the modern and western cultures in Japan. The city is between mountains and the ocean. Kobe port played an important role being one of five ports which were opened after the long isolation system in Japan. Let's enjoy visiting those places by public transportation together.
