Welcome to Japan! I am Miyoko, a Japanese National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter based in Fukuoka, and I love meeting people from all over the world. Born in Yamaguchi, I lived in Hong Kong for six years and now live in Fukuoka City. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a First-Class Purser on international flights and was once voted the airline’s best First-Class Purser of the year by passengers. I now bring the same level of care and attention I provided to First-Class passengers to my tours, anticipating my guests’ needs and making their time in Japan special. Today, I guide private tours, cruise guests, and multi-day tours in various parts of Japan. I especially enjoy bringing Japanese history and local culture to life through interesting stories, while keeping my tours relaxed, flexible, and comfortable. I mainly guide in Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Arita/Imari, Beppu, Yufuin, Takachiho, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi. I enjoy traveling, watching movies and sports — especially baseball, football, and sumo — taking photos of planes, night views, and flowers, and dining out. Because of this, I can introduce you not only to famous landmarks but also to local restaurants and hidden gems. Whether you'd like to explore history and culture, enjoy beautiful scenery and local food, or simply have a relaxing day discovering Japan, I'll do my best to make your tour comfortable, fun, and memorable. I look forward to meeting you and sharing some of my favorite places in Japan!

Overview of your Nagasaki tour

If you are interested in traditional Japan's artistry, this is an ideal tour. Let's explore Saga Prefecture's Arita (also known as Imari), the birthplace of Japanese porcelain with a knowledgeable guide. We will take a day trip from Nagasaki by a comfortable chartered car. The towns are located about 80 km (50 miles) northeast of Nagasaki Arita (Imari) is Asia's greatest porcelain town with a history of over 400 years. Arita/Imari ware were exported to Europe and fascinated European nobles. With a chartered car, you can effectively visit the towns with fewer transportation options. Having lived in neighboring prefecture, I'm familiar with Arita/Imari ware. Let me show you around picturesque spots and kilns to make your day memorable.
