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 Y. Japan Tour Reviews
“Okinawa World ”
Noriko was fantastic. So knowledgeable and flexible. It was very hot, so after visiting Shuri Castle, she on the spot designed an itinerary that would help beat the heat. We saw the cave and the cultural exhibits at Okinawa World which was an excellent experience then had a fun sushi lunch. I highly recommend her services! Thanks for a great day!

“I learned so much, socially, culturally and historically!”
Noriko is very professional, well educated and socialable. Great conversations from the beginning of the tour, to the end! My first time coming to Okinawa, and only thought it was tropical Japan. Noriko explained and showed me how special and unique Okinawan history can be. From 1429 to WW2 battles and occupation era. Very happy to have her guide me. It was a great day!

“Naha tour with Kumiko”
Noriko wasn't available on the day of our tour so she arranged her friend Kumiko to guide us, and she arranged a great tour of Naha in the limited time we had. Highly recommend a local to guide you through their city rather then a big group in a bus.
