Himeji castle from Kobe port.

Greetings from Japan! My name is Chiyoko, Nice to see you on line. Thanks for reading my profile! Since my childhood, I have been very unique and proactive in a way that is unusual Japanese. I went to the dock in Kobe and shouted out "What's your name?" to a boat in English that I had just learned, and someone answered back to me. I still vividly remember how moved I was at that moment. That's why I have always been interested in people from other countries. I think it would be a waste time to come all the way to Japan and if you go back home after just doing some run-of-the-mill sightseeing with crowded tourists. That's why I try to introduce places that are difficult for overseas visitors to visit alone. I also hope to take you to places that not many other guides have introduced you to, so that you can take home a unforgettable image of Japan. I also love to travel, so I try to be helpful to travelers coming to Japan as much as possible. I provide private guiding services in Western Japan. I can guarantee you an unique and wonderful, special experience. I try to meet the needs of each customer in a personalized manner according to their needs travelers can count on my services for their private tours. Also I try to keep my tour's quality, comfort and security. I look forward to showing you the most interesting places. It wasn't that long ago that I registered on Tour By Locals and started guiding. This is because my main job is interpreting. However, in 2025 alone, I have guided many people from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Mexico, India, etc. I make it a point not to pressure the travelers I've guided into writing reviews. But each time I review something after my tour, I try to improve it for the next time, and I am always trying to do my best as a guide. Some people have also told me they would like me to guide them when they come to Japan, which is very encouraging. I inherently value meeting new people. In that sense, I truly enjoy my work as a guide and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to guide so many people. Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Japan.
