About Tour Guide Yoko M.
Hello. I'm Yoko Miyake. Please call me Yoko. I'm a licensed guide. I love travelling. I have visited all the prefectures in Japan. Though Japan has many good places to visit, I hope many foreign travellers will visit my hometown Kurashiki and enjoy their stay there. Because I was born in Kurashiki, and I have lived there since then, I know a lot about Kurashiki. Of course I can show you other good places in Okayama Prefecture and near Okayama Prefecture.

“A beautiful day on Teshima and Naoshima”
Yoko met me at Uno Port for the fast passenger ferry to Teshima. I love Teshima, such a beautiful quiet place, with small villages and terraced rice fields. There is not much in the way of public transport on Teshima, so we walked to all the sites we visited, including Les Archives Du Couer and Teshima Art Museum, taking the bus back to the port. The Teshima Art Museum is an amazing experience. It is hard to put it into words. You really need to experience it. Off the Naoshima after lunch, visiting the Noashima New Art Museum. We managed to fit in all the Art House Projects before finishing for the day. Yoko was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge about the Art Islands. I enjoyed her company and appreciated her efforts for such a wonderful day.
