About Tour Guide Michiko N.
Hello, I am Michiko , the same name of Japanese ex-Empress. I am a government certified tour guide.
I have lived in Nagoya ( located between Tokyo and Osaka) for 35 years since I got married.
I worked for JAL as a flight attendant in my 20's. After retiring JAL, I have taught English and Mathematics to junior and senior high school students for 20 years.
I love traveling very much both domestically and abroad and enjoy walking around each city and talking with local people so that I can find out the way how to they live and think about their life. It's quite a fun for me. I also love hiking and mountain climbing in spring, summer and autumn, and skiing in winter.
In the countryside of Japan there still remain those farming and fishery villages where people have been rooted in their land and community, living the way handed down from generation to generation.
You can also enjoy the original Japanese landscape there.
Why don't you get out of the hustle and bustle of your busy life and have a rest rich in nature in the rural Japan enjoying beautiful scenery and local food.
I'm waiting for you!

We had an excellent two day tour. Michiko and Hiroshi were our wonderful guides. We stayed at a local resort that had an excellent view. Michiko provided us with a written itinerary of our tour and answered all our questions. We could not have done this without them. We are extremely grateful.

“Best day in Shirakawa & Takayama!!”
We had the pleasure of spending an entire day with our Guide, Michiko-san, and her wonderful husband, who served as our driver. From the very beginning, they impressed us with their punctuality and professionalism. We were greeted promptly at our hotel, and from there, the day was seamless. Michiko-san is an absolute gem. Her wealth of knowledge about the history, culture, and landmarks of the local area was remarkable. She made sure to tailor the tour to our interests, sharing fascinating stories and insights that really brought each stop to life. Her enthusiasm and passion for the places we visited were infectious, and her attention to detail made the experience both enjoyable and educational. Her husband, as our driver, was equally impressive. He navigated the roads with skill and care, ensuring that we were always comfortable and safe during our travels. Both of them were incredibly polite and friendly throughout the day, making us feel more like old friends rather than tourists. What stood out most was their positive attitude. Despite the long hours, they were always cheerful, patient, and accommodating, especially so with our 13 and 9 yo kids who took to them almost immediately. Their warmth and professionalism made the tour not only informative but truly enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to guide us on this adventure. I can highly recommend Michiko-san to anyone looking for an unforgettable, informative, and enjoyable tour experience!
