About Tour Guide Noriko Y.
Hi. I was a tour guide for Japanese speak in Japanese in main-land Japan around Tokyo. Now, I live in Okinawa for over ten years with my family. I wanted to be a tour guide for foreigners because I appreciate people's helps when I traveled around world. I traveled over seventy countries. I like traveling because I learn a lot from people who I meet. Finally, I got a certificate for being an English tour guide. I would like you to spend meaningful time in Okinawa. Okinawa has unique culture, they mixed Japanese and Chinese way, then, built up a new own culture. With limited time, I hope you enjoy seeing a lot and knowing a lot.
Reviews
“Great informative day out”
Noriko was an informative and gracious host. She was able to guide us on a tour on the things we wanted to see. She was very responsive to my husbands requirements and made changes as required. She guided us through the history and while the subject matter was grim and sad, which we all acknowledged, our son valued having taken the trip - saying it was a great day out and worth while doing even though it had sad parts included - high praise from an 18 year old! Highly recommend Noriko as a guide. Thank you very much Noriko san.
