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.

Tour on the north

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.

Thank you indeed. It was great to see you and spend time with you. I was so grad to hear that you spent a nice time. My memorable day. Thank you.

Bespoke itinerary with a superb guide

Absolutely enjoyed our tour with Noriko who is punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. Being a tour guide is not just a job to Noriko. It is a passion as Noriko enjoys showing tourists the wonders and history of Okinawa ("Ikigai" to Noriko I feel). We felt very safe with Noriko's driving skill too. Thank you Noriko for the wonderful time! I enjoyed our conversation, the sanshin and singing very much. Thank you for your flexibility in accommodating our last minute itinerary changes. When we go back with our whole family we will contact you again to show us around!

Thank you for the great review. I was so glad to meet you and your daughter because I felt the time was so precious to talk to you and take you to where you want to visit in Okinawa. I always think what is the best for you, you told me what you expected to, that helps me a lot. Thank you the time with you that is my treasure. You've got my phone number already on the booking page. I will brush up my skill as a guide for future.

Wonderful day!

I had an amazing day with Noriko exploring the Naha area. Noriko was kind enough to pick me up and drop me off at my hotel in Chatan. I’m so thankful that I booked this tour as I don’t think I would be able to figure out how to get to all the various popular spots. It was so easy just to let Noriko drive and guide. I learned so much from Noriko - we talked about the history of Okinawa and also the present times. I learned a few Japanese words and a little about the local culture as well. Noriko was very flexible and accommodating when it came the itinerary and changing a scheduled lunch spot to something else. We visited a ramen place for lunch, which was delicious! My favorite part (and a must if you enjoy pottery) is to visit the pottery street near the markets in Naha. I will leave Okinawa with a wonderful and memorable experience because of the tour with Noriko. Thank you so much, Noriko, for the perfect day in Naha!
