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 9:00 to 16:00.

“What an amazing time!”
夏子さん、思い出深いツアー体験をありがとうございました。 ガイドは必要なかったが、妻とガイドがいてよかった。 妻と私は、私たちが訪れた場所についてのあなたの時間、努力、そして詳細な説明に感謝します。 私のお気に入りは大阪城でした。 必ずまたその美しい場所を訪れて、次回はもっと時間を過ごします。 大阪の美術館も印象的で、期待以上でした。 もう一度、すべてに感謝し、成功を祈ります。 - In summary, we are grateful for Natusko. An amazaing guy that was generous with her time and detail. Highly recommend her Osaka Castle tour but you'll definitely need more than a day to really take in the history. Reach out to her for a great osaka experience even if you are hesitant of guides.

I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. You speak Japanese very well, so I appreciate you choosing me as your guide even though you didn't necessarily need one. You were so friendly, and it felt more like traveling with friends than just a guide. I'll always remember the delicious uni at the sushi restaurant; it's still lingering on my taste buds! Thank you once again, and I look forward to seeing you in Japan again! Natsuko
“Food tour with Natsuko”
We had a great day tour with Natsuko. She was very flexible with the schedule to accommodate our food preferences and even asked a restaurant owner to open his shop early to accommodate our schedule. Highly recommend for food lovers.

Knowing how much you love Japanese food and have tried so many varieties, I wanted to prepare a special restaurant experience for you. It made me very happy when you shared that it was a first-time experience for you. When you come back to Kobe, I would love to guide you again for another special experience! Natsuko
