About Tour Guide Yoshiko K.
Hello, my name is Yoshiko Khan. I was born and brought up in Niigata. As we have high mountains, plains, clear rivers, the sea of Japan and islands, you can enjoy diversity of nature and its blessings in each season. Dubbed as a snow country, very patient people in this prefecture have produced many high quality specialties in agriculture, fishery, traditional arts and industry. Enjoy delicious, healthy food and sake here in Niigata. It's only two-hour bullet train ride from Tokyo. I am very much looking forward to seeing you!

“Fantastic Ride on the Dragondola and Visit to Kiyotsu Gorge”
We had a wonderful time with Yoshiko who drove us to the sites and pre-purchased all of our tickets since it was the high season. The weather was nice and the fall colors beautiful. She took great care of us and we highly recommend using her for you next visit to the area.

Thank you, Jeffrey amd Gale. It was a lot of fun to guide and show you the rural Niigata. I am happy to hear that this was the first time for you to enjoy the fall foliage after so many times visit to Japan. You must come back here for the cherry blossom season next. I am looking forward to seeing you again!

“Assistance on visit with Japan relatives ”
Yoshiko was a wonderful guide. I connected with many new Japan relatives in Niigata and was meeting them for the 1st time. She helped us with transportation, translation and communication for the entire day. She was a tremendous resource and made the visit easier and more meaningful. I strongly recommend her as a guide.

Thank you, Darren. It was such a happy day to meet your relatives who are all excited to see you. As you had prepared so well, the shy people of Niigata were eager and even tantalizing to talk to you. It was honorable for me to serve you and your relatives.

“1/2 day Niigata City tour and Kiyotsu Gorge”
Yoshiko was a wonderful guide for our city tour and day trip to Kiyotsu Gorge. She was very good in forming our plan and flexible to make changes. The places we visited and the information she provided were great. I would strongly recommend her as a guide.

Darren, Thank you for your message. I would be very happy if you could understand Niigata during this tour. I got my own car the day before yesterday, which is smaller than the car dealer's, but I think it's ok to show you around next time!

Mutsuko W.
Yokoso! Welcome! Hi, I'm Mutsuko, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. A true Niigatite, I was born and raised in Niigata City with roots dating back generations. I would be pleased to show you another side of Japan in my beautiful and unique prefecture. The Warm Hospitality: Niigata Prefecture is located on the west coast of the Japanese Archipelago, facing the Sea of Japan and provides a true insider look into the Japanese spirit. Only two hours away from Tokyo by Shinkansen, it has been perfecting the art of casual hospitality through centuries as a culinary hotspot and nature getaway for the those escaping the rat-race. History at your own Pace: Appreciate history and culture at your own pace in Niigata. Yahiko, National Shrine has been soothing souls, and inspiring locals, poets, and travellers for over 2500 years. Historically significant buildings greet seafarers at Niigata Port and the old town area, Furumachi. Cross the symbolic Bandai Bridge to the other side of the Shinano River where we can move from the ancient to the modern in the Bandai area to shop and gather with young and old for entertainment such as movies, music, manga, and anime. Over the Sea, Over the Mountain, Over the Fields: Nature is good to Niigata Prefecture, giving us four clear-cut seasons. People from all over the country, and travellers wanting to experience Japan with the Japanese join us to soak in the sun on our beaches, relax at spa resorts, challenge themselves on world class ski hills, and dance together at festivals that draw world class performers. Travel with Me: With direct trains to and from Tokyo and an international airport, Niigata is just a stone's throw away to have a unique taste of Japan. Whether you're planning a day trip or a longer stay, I invite you to visit Niigata City and other parts of the prefecture, and while here, it would be my pleasure to help you create unique memories during your stay.

Keiichi S.
Hello! My name is Keiichi. Please call me Kei. I was born and raised in Joetsu City, located in the southern part of Niigata prefecture. Joetsu was the former capital city of Echigo Province until the mid 19th century. It has a lot of historic sites and scenic spots, and most of all good people. I love my city very much. I worked for the Joetsu City office for over thirty years. During my time there, I was in charge of international relations for about ten years. After retiring from the office, I began working as a licensed tour guide. I am very excited to introduce my city to people all over the world.
