Hello.
I am working in a chemical company living in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. I will do my best to prepare in advance, and I hope to be a friendly guide that everyone will enjoy.

Although I am originally from Osaka, I am fascinated by Fukushima's abundant nature such as mountains, rivers, and lakes, its history and culture unique to Tohoku, and its warm-hearted people. I would be very happy if I could share the charm of Fukushima with you all.
I look forward to traveling with you!

Hello there! I’m Mariko. I’m a licensed Tour Guide. I was born in Fukushima and that’s where I live now, but I also lived in Tokyo for more than 30 years. Before that, I lived in Germany for three years. I have worked for an American company, a French company and a Japanese company and I have made a lot of business and personal trips to the US, Europe and Asia. Now I teach English to Japanese people and Japanese to foreigners, as well as being a tour guide. So, I think I’m quite international at this point.
My hobbies are mountain climbing, walking through the streets of the cities and towns, and Aikido, which is one of the martial arts. I also like eating local foods and drinking sake and meeting people.
　What would you like to do during your trip to Japan? By understanding what you’d like to do and see, I will be able to plan the best trip for you anyplace in Fukushima, Tohoku, Tokyo and many other areas.
I’d like to help you discover the charm of Japan! See you soon!
