Kazue I.

Hi! I am Kazue. I am from Fukuoka and live in the central city. I spent almost 20 years traveling around the world as a cabin attendant. Meeting different people, different cultures and eating local food were best things in my career. This experience definitely widened my perspective and will help me in some way when I work as a guide. Since I spent half my life outside of Japan, I noticed our culture and traditions are very unique and became more interested in historical sites in Japan. For my personal life, I am a mom of twins. It is still a hard work but I am enjoying a lot with them. We take them around Kyushu whenever possible for their fun and experience. We all love traveling after all. I am looking forward to showing you around our hometown soon!

Yukihiro (Hero)行博

Yukihiro (Hero)行博

Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro(行博), call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018. 大家好！我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊（日本陸軍）。 I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places. 我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內，但是它有很多兵種和工作，所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方，例如北海道１０年，千葉縣１５年，沖繩16年還有別的有些地方。 I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide. 我一邊在沖繩當旅遊服務員大概半個月，一邊在九州長崎當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。 I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it. 我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊（英／中文），可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格，我正在繼續學外語。 I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though. 我會說英語和中文(簡／繁)，作為您的導游沒問題，沒有母語的人那麼好。

Explore Fukuoka with a Friendly Local Guide! Hi, I’m Masa T. — a passionate and experienced local guide based in Fukuoka. Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding more than 1,100 travelers from the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia as a volunteer guide.

Yanagawa River Cruising and Dazaifu Tenmagu

“A wonderful day.”

Our tour starts at 9am, since then she has been provided her high standard of service, even I made a small changes of the places I wanted to visit. During the tour, she keeps telling us all the history and stories. Her service is second to none, and I have no problem recommending her to my friends and relatives in future.

Fukuoka Yatai stall hopping tour

“Do not miss Kazue’s food stall tour! Five stars!!”

Our family loved this experience. Kazue made perfect choices throughout, somehow finding six open stools at the delicious vendors. Do not miss this when in Fukuoka

Fukuoka private full day tour Day 2

“Fantastic Day in Fukuoka with Hitomi”

We had a fantastic private full-day tour in Fukuoka with Hitomi as our guide. She organized the day perfectly, starting with a morning train to Dazaifu to visit the Tenmangu Shrine and its small museum, followed by a lovely lunch at a local soba restaurant. In the afternoon, we enjoyed Fukuoka Tower and a relaxing walk at the seaside park. Hitomi was warm, organized, and very knowledgeable, making the day flow smoothly and enjoyable for the whole family. She explained everything clearly and adjusted plans to make the experience even better. We truly had a great day with her and would highly recommend her as a guide in Fukuoka.

Hitomi T.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy to hear that you had a good time in Fukuoka and liked the soba place. Please come back again to Fukuoka and stay longer next time so that we can visit more places in Kyushu!
