What's a Family-Friendly Private Tour of Yokohama Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting Japan, and I brought a puppet along for the tour. I kept the guiding short and focused, sharing only the most important points, so the pace would suit the group. At the Stadium City, I feel we used our time well. The guests enjoyed coffee at a Starbucks and had some donuts. Since one of the guests liked noodles, I taught them the Japanese word for "delicious" (oishii). In Chinatown, we stopped by a Studio Ghibli shop, where the group purchased a plush toy. We had fun with the idea that it was now friends with the puppet I had brought. At the end, I gave them a Pikachu origami, which delighted them.

Hello, I’m Rikako, but please call me Coco. It would be my absolute pleasure to show you around my hometown of Nagasaki. Having performed in the Nagasaki Kunchi Festival in my childhood, I developed a deep interest in history and cultural exchange. This motivated me to become a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter during my university years. Since then, I have gained valuable experience—from assisting ambassadors at the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony to handling a wide variety of tours, including private and coach tours, site inspections, international conference support, and VIP hospitality.
Explaining about Nagasaki’s history and culture is the most important to me. It is not only about this. I would love to provide genuine care so that your time in Nagasaki remains in your heart forever.
I’m truly looking forward to guiding you in Nagasaki 🙂
