Hello!
My name is Natsuko.
Thank you for visiting my page.
I used to work for a trading company, which gave me the opportunity to use English with overseas business partners.
After leaving the company, I became an English teacher for children and I discovered that I really enjoy spending time with kids.
I also had the experience of being a host family for international students, and it was so fulfilling to show them around various tourist spots and see them happy.
I hope you can have a wonderful experience in Japan too!
Would you like to join one of my fun tours?
I look forward to seeing you again!

“Wonderful day with Natsuko”
Natsuko arrived early to meet us in our hotel lobby. She has the type of personality that makes you feel at ease straight away. We went to the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living and enjoyed our kimono attire whilst we wandered around a model of a town in the Edo period. Then we had the BEST teppanyaki lunch. Chefs kiss. Afterwards we headed to the picturesque Osaka Castle. Natsuko had prepared historical information and took many pictures to capture the memories. Thank you to our new friend, Natsuko!

Natsuko I.
Hi Jacqui! Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m glad you enjoyed the kimono experience at the recreated old Osaka town. The teppanyaki was really delicious, wasn’t it? Thank you for liking the message cake too. In Osaka castle I’m happy we could walk to Heaven Bridge. My English isn’t perfect, so I may not have explained everything well, but I’m relieved you enjoyed the tour. Thank you again. Please come to Japan again — next time let’s meet as friends.

“Kobe, Rokko Heights. And Wagyu meal”
Fantastic! Both for Natsuko’s helpfulness and for the Wagyu Beef meal in Kobe. We might try to kidnap her and bring her to the United States.

Hi Ronald, thank you for choosing me as your tour guide. I was very happy to spend half a day with your kind, warm family. The Wagyu restaurant in Rokko is a local hidden gem. It was very delicious. I really want to visit you in the United States! Please let me come with my family someday. Thank you for listening to stories about my son. I wish we had more time to talk. Let’s keep in touch. — Natsuko

“A very considerate guide! ”
Natsuko was very kind and did her best to be very accommodating. She helped change some activities in our itinerary the day before the tour because of fatigue. So we had a relaxing time in the herb garden and the Kobe beef was amazing! I wish we had more time and energy to explore more of Kobe.

Natsuko I.
Thanks for the quick review! Thank you for your kindness. Your feet were sore from the long trip, so I’m glad we changed shopping to a relaxing time in the herb garden. The Kobe beef was really tasty — it melted in your mouth. Please come back to Kobe. Next time I’ll take you to Kobe Port Tower and Harborland.
