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.

“Great day on the Art Island”
We had a great day on Naoshima with Yoko. She is an enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable guide who tailored the day to our wishes and abilities. It would have been impossible for us to see as much as we did without her. I really recommend this tour !
