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!

Overview of your Nagoya tour

You might not have heard of the city of Okazaki. So let me briefly fill you in. Ieyasu Tokugawa is the first shogun and arguably the biggest hero in Japanese history. He fought his way to the top and unified Japan after the long civil war. We owe him the foundation of educational and commerce systems of Japan, as well as culture and cuisine. He was born in Okazaki ! You will see the origin of his life in Okazaki Castle and its museum. Around 30 min. Express train ride from Nagoya Station will take you to the center of Okazaki, and the tour includes Okazaki Castle, old traditional shops along the way, and Miso factory. When you get hungry after the walk, you can enjoy authentic Japanese lunch at a restaurant with Matcha green tea. Private Kimono-dressing is also available on request.
