About Tour Guide Yoshiko K.

Hello, my name is Yoshiko Khan. I was born and brought up in Niigata. As we have high mountains, plains, clear rivers, the sea of Japan and islands, you can enjoy diversity of nature and its blessings in each season. Dubbed as a snow country, very patient people in this prefecture have produced many high quality specialties in agriculture, fishery, traditional arts and industry. Enjoy delicious, healthy food and sake here in Niigata. It's only two-hour bullet train ride from Tokyo. I am very much looking forward to seeing you!

Reviews

Fantastic Ride on the Dragondola and Visit to Kiyotsu Gorge

We had a wonderful time with Yoshiko who drove us to the sites and pre-purchased all of our tickets since it was the high season. The weather was nice and the fall colors beautiful. She took great care of us and we highly recommend using her for you next visit to the area.

Thank you, Jeffrey amd Gale. It was a lot of fun to guide and show you the rural Niigata. I am happy to hear that this was the first time for you to enjoy the fall foliage after so many times visit to Japan. You must come back here for the cherry blossom season next. I am looking forward to seeing you again!

Assistance on visit with Japan relatives

Yoshiko was a wonderful guide. I connected with many new Japan relatives in Niigata and was meeting them for the 1st time. She helped us with transportation, translation and communication for the entire day. She was a tremendous resource and made the visit easier and more meaningful. I strongly recommend her as a guide.

Thank you, Darren. It was such a happy day to meet your relatives who are all excited to see you. As you had prepared so well, the shy people of Niigata were eager and even tantalizing to talk to you. It was honorable for me to serve you and your relatives.

1/2 day Niigata City tour and Kiyotsu Gorge

Yoshiko was a wonderful guide for our city tour and day trip to Kiyotsu Gorge. She was very good in forming our plan and flexible to make changes. The places we visited and the information she provided were great. I would strongly recommend her as a guide.

Darren, Thank you for your message. I would be very happy if you could understand Niigata during this tour. I got my own car the day before yesterday, which is smaller than the car dealer's, but I think it's ok to show you around next time!
