Message
- Tomoko Kitaoka
- Translator / Interpreter / Tour Guide
Hello, I'm Tomoko Kitaoka, the founder of Misasa English Services.
I love traveling in and out of Japan and I am very interested in different cultures.
I have studied in the US for eighteen months, taught English at a language school for 5 years and worked as an in-house interpreter, translator and secretary at a foreign firm for 6 years in Hiroshima.
In 2013, I moved to Misasa Town in Tottori Prefecture with my husband and two sons because we were fascinated by the beauty of this area. I am now engaged in various jobs using English while enjoying the inaka (countryside) life here in San'in Region.
