About Tour Guide Noriko Y.

“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!

Thank you for your nice words. I also learned a lot from you while I was answering of your questions. It was really nice and meaningful time. Thank you very much for taking my tour.

“For a perfect and happy trip, with a Noriko guide!”

저희는 오키나와 슈리성을 비롯한 옛 류큐국의 역사 유적, 명소, 문화를 느끼고 싶었습니다. 하지만 대부분의 패키지 단체 투어는 류큐국과 관련된 부분은 없고 아메리칸 빌리지, 츄라우미 수족관과 같은 현재의 오키나와 명소만을 투어하기에 프라이빗 투어를 신청하게 되었습니다. 결과적으론 저희의 목적은 성공했고 정말 좋은 선택을 하게 되었다고 생각합니다. 투어 당일 류큐문화를 보기위해 급하게 오키나와 월드를 가는 것으로 변경도 잘 대응해주셨고 가는길이나 목적지에서의 전문적인 설명 모두 기억에 남을 정도로 완벽했습니다. 특히 저희는 비영어권 국가에서 여행왔기에 노리코 가이드와는 일본어로 대화하고 제가 일행에게 통역을 했는데 중간중간 적절한 타이밍에 기다려줫고 저와 대화할때는더 쉽고빠르게 이해할 수 있도록 노력해주시는 부분이 정말 좋았습니다. 가능만 하다면 오키나와가 아닌 일본 지역의 투어도 노리코 가이드와 함께하고 싶은 생각입니다! We wanted to feel the historical sites, attractions, and culture of the old Ryukyu Kingdom, including Shuri Castle in Okinawa. However, most package group tours do not have anything to do with Ryukyu, but only tour current Okinawa attractions such as American Village and Churaumi Aquarium, so I applied for a private tour. As a result, I think our purpose was successful and we made a really good choice. On the day of the tour, they responded well to the change by rushing to Okinawa World to see Ryukyu culture, and both the way and the professional explanation at the destination were memorable and perfect. In particular, we traveled from a non-English speaking country, so we talked to the Noriko guide in Japanese and I interpreted it to the my group, and I really liked the part where she waited at the right time in between and tried to understand it more easily and quickly when talking to me. If possible, I would like to join the Noriko guide on different tours in Japan, not Okinawa!

Wow, thank you for a long heartful message with English and Korean. It was a great day and a precious time to talk to you and to your father. I felt I seem to be in Korean drama while I was listening Korean. It was really familiar language sound. I learned a lot on the day. Thank you.

“Excellent Tour”

Noriko was an excellent tour guide, picked a great place for lunch, and gave additional history.
