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 in Kobe !”
We had a -more than- wonderful day in Kobe. Natsuko took us to a lot of very nice places en told us about the history. She also presented us to a wonderful -real local- lunch, that we enjoyed very much. We did have a very pleasent time with Natsuko: if we ever come back to Kobe we will certainly look for her. Thank you very much for the wonderful day, Natsuko !

It was a pleasure to share our culture and cuisine with you. I would love to meet you again when you come back to Japan.

“Kobe Wonderful Tour ”
We had an absolutely wonderful day with our guide, Natsuko! Her kindness, humor, and warmth made our experience truly special. She took such great care of us, and we enjoyed every moment, from capturing beautiful photos to sharing a fun and delicious Kobe beef lunch together. When we return to Kobe, we won’t just be calling Natsuko as our guide, we’ll be reconnecting with her as a dear friend. Thank you, Natsuko, for an unforgettable day! Margo & Les

Margo and Les, Thank you for your wonderful message! I was so happy to be your tour guide. From the moment we met at the terminal, I felt like we could be friends. It was fun to joke around during the tour. I’m glad we could enjoy Kobe beef lunch at a local restaurant. When you come back to Japan, please visit my home too. Let’s share more laughs and jokes! Thank you for choosing me as your guide. See you again! Best, Natsuko
