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!

Welcome to Nagoya! Not many people know it but Nagoya was the center of Japan in the 15th century. Our lord Tokugawa Ieyasu was born here and known as first shogun as in "Shogun", in a novel, movie and recent drama series "Shogun". Tokugawa shogunate lasted 270 years without civil conflicts. He laid foundation of Japan's political and educational system during the early modern period. Nagoya Castle was built as a symbol of his power. You will be amazed how luxurious the inner screen and walls of the palace are. In the 19th century, a very special person, Toyoda Sakichi, the founder of today's world-famous Toyota Motor Corporation, was born here. Toyota Commemorative Museum traces Toyota's origins as a textile machinery manufacturer, which turned into a global auto giant, Toyota. You will get to know his struggle and its evolution in the museum.
