I'm Eiko S., your private tour guide in Nagoya

Guide #12451

My name is Eiko. When I was in my twenties, I worked as a cabin attendant for an international airline. I've traveled around the world and visited more than 30 countries. It's been a while since then, and most things are vague at the back of my mind, but I still clearly remember small talks exchanged with locals, and interesting stories I heard from guides. Some personal touch goes the extra mile and makes your trip special. I would like to be a guide to be remembered and make you smile whenever you cast your mind back to the trip to Japan. While raising two daughters, I studied English hard to be a teacher and an interpreter. I enjoy being a teacher and I realized that I like talking and get to know people. I worked as an interpreter in business world as well. I certainly enjoyed the job, but now I want to do something different. Guiding a tour has been my dream job, but I was always too busy, then COVID 19 pandemic came. A lot of my work is gone, and I am not as busy as I used to. Now that I think the COVID 19 was a blessing in disguise. It has given me a chance to be a tour guide. Also, I've turned 60. Sixty is an important age in Japan and many leave their job and start to have more relaxing life, as we believe that we are reborn at the age of 60. Look at my birthday picture. Wearing a red vest and a cap to show that you are a baby again! Red-chan means "baby" in Japanese. I would like to start my new life being a guide and get to know more people from abroad. Welcome to Nagoya, and my place in Okazaki!

    Eiko is a High School English teacher with terrific English. Very knowledgeable. Really nice and interesting person. We had a terrific day with her that we customized to exactly what we wanted. If you like Samuri check out the Touken Museum. It's amazing. We hired a car and it was top notch with an excellent driver.

    Eiko was amazing. She was local with great English and we didn't want to do the touristy spots in Nagoya, so she tailored our day to local highlights of her hometown. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot. It was a really personalised cultural experience. Her communication and coordination pre us starting were incredible. It meant we had plenty of time to decide...

    Eiko was so welcoming and kind. The itinerary was perfect. We had a wonderful visit at the shrines. She found a lunch site that would accommodate our preferences. We highly recommend her as a guide.
