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!

One day trip to Shirakawago and Takayama
Customized
“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!

The exploration tour to the site of the Battle of Sekigahara
“Awesome Tour to Sekikahara ”
Michiko was awesome and arranged to change the date of the tour due to weather. The tour route was great and allowed for me to explore all the important sites. Although not prearranged, the reenactors being at the site made it that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Dear Jordan, Thank you so much for choosing me as your tour guide in Sekigahara and great review and high rating. I appreciate that. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. I also had a great time myself with such a wonderful guy like you in Sekigahara Battle Fields. We are lucky to have a chance to see some important Samurai parades!! Hopefully you will have a greater time in staying in Japan for next three months. Thanks again. Best regards, Michiko Nagasaki

An exciting Offshore Excursion in Nagoya

“Michiko is lively and so much fun”
We visited Nagoya by cruise ship and only had a few hours to see some of the sites this great city has to offer. Michiko met us at the port and took us around to some of the beautiful castles and shrines. She was very professional and accommodating to every thing we wanted to see. She made sure we hit the top spots we requested and got us back to the port with plenty of time spare. Michiko is so friendly and was genuinely interested in learning about us and where we’re from. We had the best time chatting and walking around the city with Michiko. When you visit Nagoya, book time Michiko!

Thank you so much for choosing me as your tour guide in Nagoya this time and fine review as well as high rating. I really appreciate it. I really had a great time with such a wonderful couple like you. I learned a lot from you about your country and English phrases. I am so sorry that you couldn’t buy souvenirs from Nagoya. It’s my apologies. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your tour in Japan. Thanks again. Michiko Nagasaki
