About Tour Guide Natsuko I.
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!
Reviews
“A Wonderful Day in Osaka & Kobe”
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with Natsuko. She was so kind and took such good care of us from start to finish. She was always checking in with us to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the day. While Osaka was so busy with tourists, Natsuko was able to guide us smoothly to Osaka Castle and made reservations for lunch which was incredible. She modified the tour according to our interests and needs for the day. She planned the day ahead of time thereby saving us so much time to enjoy other areas such as beautiful Kobe! The best part is spending the day getting to connect and learn from such a kind and wonderful person that is Natsuko. We hope to always keep in touch with our new friend.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your day in Osaka and Kobe. I also had a great time being with you both! It was a pleasure to spend time with such a lovely and beautiful couple like you. Although Osaka Castle was quite crowded, I'm glad I could guide you to the main keep without much delay. It was also enjoyable to shop together in Kobe, where we could move around smoothly since it wasn’t as crowded as Osaka. I truly appreciate your kind words, and I hope we can keep in touch for a long time to come! Safe travels and take care! Natsuko
“Customized Tour”
Natsuko is the reason we LOVE Kobe! She communicated frequently before our booking. She suggested the best subway route to get to Kobe which was helpful to first time travelers visiting Japan. She met us at the subway station which was a relief. She showed us the beauty of Kobe and Kobe & Herb Garden. It is difficult to accommodate 9 people but she made it look easy. She was flexible and catered to what we wanted to explore. We visited a shopping street where we bought souvenirs and enjoyed local treats. She booked a reservation at Wagyu Yakiniku 369 which was the best meal we had in Japan! It was a pleasure to dine with Natsuko. She has a bright, kind and happy personality that was infectious to our group! She was knowledgeable about Kobe and taught us about the city. Natsuko exceeded our expectations and were delighted to be with her company! We LOVE Natsuko! We will definitely be booking again!

Dear Jimaine, Thank you so much for the amazing review! I had a great time exploring Kobe with all of you. You were such kind guests, and I really want to stay friends with you! Taking photos at the Herb Garden with all of you looking like models was so much fun! I’m also glad you enjoyed the Kobe beef. It was great to have the restaurant all to ourselves, and seeing you all say "delicious" made me really happy. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed your time with Natsuko. I can't wait to see you again! Thank you, and let’s keep in touch! Natsuko
“Great Food Tour of Kobe with Natsuko!!!”
Natsuko put together an outstanding agenda for our Kobe Beef Tour! Highly recommend!!!! We ate at two different restaurants, visited a delicious Japanese bakery, the Sorakuen Garden and the Nunobiki Herb Gardens, and she even helped my wife with some shopping to bring back to the states. Natsuko speaks English very well and is a fun and communicative person. We shared stories about our families and about her experiences in the U.S. We highly recommend her as a tour guide. I have some mobility issues and Natsuko was very helpful to move us to each location while requiring as little energy as possible.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and a great photo. I really enjoyed spending time with you at the Japanese garden, the kushikatsu restaurant, the herb garden, and while shopping! I thought we might have a tight schedule with two restaurants, but we were able to relax and enjoy everything. We shared many stories and had lots of laughs together. It was truly a fun time for me too! Natsuko Please come back to Japan again!
