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!

“Kobe tour ”
Natsuko was excellent. She was accommodating and very patient practicing Japanese with my daughter. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly remember her especially if you have children or teenagers.

“Very kids-friendly tour”
I booked Natsuko's services because we wanted a kids-friendly guide for our 9-year-old daughter. Natsuko did not disappoint and our daughter enjoyed the time with her in Osaka, visiting the castle, the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, and a Wagyu Teppanyaki restaurant. Happy to recommend her for a family-friendly tour.

Thank you so much for joining my family-friendly tour in Osaka today! I was so impressed by your daughter—she was curious about everything, eager to learn about Japanese history, and had such a great understanding of it all. It was a pleasure spending the day with your lovely family. Thank you!

Kobe : Hyogo Golden Route (one of five tours)
Hyogo prefecture is about 150km long in north-south direction. There are many sight seeing spots, not only Kobe, Himeji but also Izush-Toyooka, Tanba-Sasayama Awaji island. So Hyogo government decleared "Hyogo Golden Route" as recommended tours. I would like to guide those areas where tourists do not know well. Each area is one day tour. You can have a different experience from Kyoto or Osaka.

Himeji Castle, The Set of The Last Samurai or Engyoji Temple
In 1993, Himeji Castle was designated as the first World Cultural Heritage site in Japan. Because of its striking beauty and elegance, it is popularly known as the "White Egret castle", but in fact it was an impregnable fortress. Next, I would like to introduce you Engyoji Temple, where the movie "Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe was shot. The temple is located about 6 kilometers northwest from the Castle. We can take a bus and a ropeway from Himeji station to the Temple.
