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!
Important
I can only work from 10:00 to 15:00.

Natsuko I. Japan Tour Reviews
“Private Tour to Hello Kitty Smile Awaji Island”
Had a great day with Natsuko whom is very good with kids. Traveled with a party of 4 adults and two toddlers and Natsuko was amazing singing nursery songs and helping us find formula. Had an amazing time at Hello Kitty Smile allowing us to go back to shop more at Hello Kitty Smile and Apple. Kept us on schedule, held one of my infants to sleep on the bus. Also reached out to bus company as I lost my diaper bag on the bus. Really a fantastic time especially since we took public transportation where as Natsuko normally drives to Awaji island

(4 reviews)Thank you very much for your kind review. It was a pleasure to have your lovely family join the Awaji Island tour. I had a great time singing songs and taking care of your adorable twin children. It was delightful to see your wife enjoy interacting with Hello Kitty, shopping, and participating in the stamp rally. You truly value your family, and I appreciate how kindly you treated me as your guide. Please come visit Japan again. I am grateful for choosing me as your tour guide. Thank you so much.
“Impressive temple tour”
Natsuko was very friendly and professional tour guide, she was very knowledgeable about temples as well as Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism and I learned a lot. Nakayama-ji is a less visited, quiet and memorable ancient temple with impressive blue five-storied pagodas and cherry blossoms in spring. If you like Japanese temples and want to avoid the crowds of tourists, choose Natsuko's temple tour!

(4 reviews)Thank you for joining my tour today. I was very happy during the tour because you were so kind. Even though you were a customer, you felt like a friend. It was a great time to be able to visit while seeing beautiful cherry blossoms in the good weather. Thank you for showing interest in Japanese culture and history. Despite it being cherry blossom viewing season, being able to visit a temple with few people and feeling warm and calm with you was a great experience. I look forward to guiding you on another tour. Thank you.
“Amazing tour with Natsuko!! ”
Natsuko is so wonderful! She created an amazing itinerary for my family and it was such a fantastic experience. My daughter absolutely adored Natsuko. She brought a some fun side activities for my daughter to keep her entertained between things, which we really felt was extremely thoughtful. We will definitely book a tour with Natsuko next time we are in Japan and we will recommend her to anyone we know traveling to the Osaka area.
