About Tour Guide Noriko Y.

Hi. I was a tour guide for Japanese speak in Japanese in main-land Japan around Tokyo. Now, I live in Okinawa for over ten years with my family. I wanted to be a tour guide for foreigners because I appreciate people's helps when I traveled around world. I traveled over seventy countries. I like traveling because I learn a lot from people who I meet. Finally, I got a certificate for being an English tour guide. I would like you to spend meaningful time in Okinawa. Okinawa has unique culture, they mixed Japanese and Chinese way, then, built up a new own culture. With limited time, I hope you enjoy seeing a lot and knowing a lot.

“Noriko is the best at what she does!”

I am very glad I booked a tour with Noriko which taught me so much about wartime in Okinawa during WWII. Even during the drive she had a vast amount of insight into the places we were passing and modern life in Okinawa, which prepared me for going back in time to perhaps the Ryukuan's darkest period. It was heartbreaking to read the testimonies of survivors who had to experience such horrors that would haunt them forever. After the peace museum and walking the rows and rows of reported casualties, we went to a true treat of a restaurant that was a house built in 1891 that actually survived the war and had bullet holes still in some of the walls. You may sit at a table or a chabudai with tatami mats which is more traditional and a great combination to the eating experience. I'm quite glad I hired Noriko otherwise I would not have found such a great spot! Next, we went to Okinawa world at my request and saw live performances, many of Okinawa's plant and animal inhabitants, and even a 300,000 year old cave 890m long! It was pretty quick to see all of this so we even went to a WWII bunker and finished off the day learning a bit more about history. Anyone looking to learn a ton about Okinawa's history during this time would be wise to hire Noriko! Her english is excellent and she really fills the day out with a lot of great educational sights to see.

Thank you for your impression of the day. Your message is so nice. I appreciate it. It was a great day and I also learned a lot. Thank you, Arigato gozaimashita.

“The best experience of Okinawa”

Noriko was a superb driver. She shared very interesting information about the history of Okinawa and took me to fascinating places. She was fun and highly respectful. An added bonus was 2 snorkeling experiences that were both fantastic. She tailored the days to suit my interests perfectly. I highly recommend her and would certainly use her again.

Noriko was very Thoughtful, punctual, and friendly. She took us around the north area of Okinawa, visiting the places we wanted to see and telling us histories about Okinawa its culture, its people and its relations with the mainland and China. We are very happy with the tour she gave us.
