Fukuoka Private Tour Guides

Dear, Ms.Elayne Thank you very much for your kind comments. It means a lot to me! It was a great honour for me to spend the days with you and to help you reconnect with your family history here in Fukuoka. Being able to visit your ancestors' temple together and meeting your relatives was a very special experience for me as well. I am very happy that I could assist with the arrangements and help make the day meaningful for you. Thank you again for trusting me with such an important journey. I do hope you would be back here for them again. Warmest regards,Kazue

It was truly a wonderful and enjoyable trip. I was able to share one of my favorite routes with you, and at the same time, it helped me discover many new things that I might never have noticed on a private trip by myself. At the Tsunoshima Nature Museum, when Sanjay showed interest in the large number of stuffed birds on display, one of the staff members noticed and kindly explained that the sky above Tsunoshima lies along a major migratory route. Because of this, a wide variety of birds gather in this area. We also learned, through the impressive shell collection, that many of the shells unique to Tsunoshima are white. As they break down, they turn the seabed white, which is why the sea appears cobalt blue even on cloudy days. After hearing this, the three of us took a walk to the beach. As we stood there, looking out at the vast sea and sky stretching before us, with the lighthouse to our left, right in the middle of rich and beautiful nature, and feeling the refreshing breeze while watching the clear waves gently stirring up the white sand, I felt a deep sense of happiness. I was also very happy that both of you kindly complimented my English. Since you are both interested in Japanese culture and occasionally spoke Japanese during our conversation, it made me even happier. Many thoughts came to my mind — what exactly a shrine is, why foxes are associated with it, how the thousands of torii gates came to be, what the differences are between Shakyamuni Buddha, Fudō Myōō, and why Japanese people pray for their family's happiness at shrines while reflecting on their ancestors at temples. I did my best to find the right words to express these ideas. I’m also glad that you enjoyed the music I had prepared, and to be honest, the entire experience was so enjoyable that I almost felt guilty receiving a fee. I sincerely wish you both all the best on your future travels. And if you come back to Japan, I would be more than happy if you could reach out to me again.

Dear, Ms. Cory Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It means a lot to me! I am so glad you enjoyed the experience and it was a great pleasure spending the time with you. Thank you also for your generous recommendation. I hope to see you someday again! Wishing you all the best. Warmest regards, Kazue
