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!

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.
