Hello everyone, Thank you for finding my page. My name is Atsuko. I am a licensed tour guide living in Osaka. I am new to ToursByLocals but I have experienced private tours for more than 8 years. Becoming a tour guide was my long-term dream since I visited the US and New Zealand as a volunteer tour conductor in my 20s. I wanted to become an overseas tour guide and do guiding in other countries. Unfortunately due to personal matters, I was not able to follow this through. Fortunately, I could become a licensed tour guide through my experiences such as teaching English, raising children, and volunteer tour guiding. Now I am really happy with my job. I enjoy meeting people and embracing new opportunities Japan attracts many people in the world because of its long history, unique geography, beautiful nature, intriguing cuisine, ancient and modern cultures, mixed religions, food, fashion, and the people living here. I was born and raised in Osaka. I am proud of living here. Osaka has a mix of unique cultures which are traditional and modern. It is also the gastronomic capital of Japan. Nara and Kyoto, which are neighboring prefectures, were ancient capitals of Japan. They have many historical sites, artefacts, relics, and structures. There is proof that these capitals flourished in ancient times. Also, beautiful nature in those areas enhance their attraction. Kobe city in Hyogo prefecture, has a different taste from those three areas for geographical reasons. I am happy to show these attractive places to everyone!! Thank you for reading my information. I am looking forward to seeing you in Japan!! ・National Government Licensed Tour Guide (English) Cert. No. EN01457 ・Experienced as a tour guide for more than 8 years ・Experienced as an English teacher at junior high schools for 4 years and at home for over 20 years I am not a driver. I usually use public transportation but I can use a taxi or arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Kobe tour
Kobe city is located in the south part of Hyogo prefecture, and is the biggest city in the prefecture. It is characterized by a long district which spans from the east to the west, the port which forms a fan-shaped inlet, and the modern and western cultures in Japan. The city is between mountains and the ocean. Kobe port played an important role being one of five ports which were opened after the long isolation system in Japan. The city was influenced by western cultures and countries because of its location. On this tour, we will visit the beautiful Herb Garden which has herbs and many seasonal flowers. The view from the observatory is picturesque. Sorakuen is the beautiful Japanese garden where we can find the combination of the old history and the modern history in Kobe. Ikuta Shrine is an attractive Shinto shrine where we can enjoy remarkable orange gates and structures. The Port area called Meriken Park has a magnificent view of the ocean. Let's enjoy visiting those areas together.
