About naoko

I'm Naoko, a nationally licensed English-speaking tour guide based in Beppu, now in my second year of guiding. I've had the joy of welcoming guests from many parts of the world, leading them through shrines and temples, local markets, and quiet evening alleyways. For me, travel is a moving piece of art. I love sharing Kyushu's hot spring culture, its volcanic landscapes, and the deep, mythic history that traces back to Japan's earliest stories — woven together to match the rhythm of each guest. My passions are photography and video, art appreciation, and seeking out hidden gems that lie just one step beyond the guidebook. I walk these places often, gathering the texture of the land itself. If you're hoping to find your own quiet scene, or to step into a deeper layer of Japan, I'll guide you to the views only locals know and the back streets where the town truly breathes. May your time here become a piece of art that stays with you long after you return home.
