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!
