“Exceptional, Professional and Friendly. Will Book Again”

As a German, I was a little worried about communication because I have a noticeable accent and English is not my native language. However, I was pleasantly surprised that Chiyako understood me perfectly from the very beginning. Her English is excellent, clear, and easy to understand, which made communication effortless throughout the entire tour. Chiyako was extremely friendly, professional, and very well organized. We booked a custom tour through another agency, and she acted as our translator. Before the tour, she coordinated with the other agency involved, which made everything much easier for us and saved us a lot of time and effort. What impressed me most was how thoroughly prepared she was. She had already studied the routes between all the locations on our tour, so we could simply follow her instead of constantly checking Google Maps. This made the experience much more enjoyable and relaxed. I especially appreciated this because it was far beyond what I expected from a translator service. During the walks between destinations, Chiyako was always happy to answer our questions about Japanese culture and everyday life. She was not only knowledgeable l but also very approachable and genuinely pleasant to spend time with. We participated in several workshops with local artisans, and Chiyako translated everything flawlessly. She conveyed the artisans explanations clearly and completely, and we never felt that any information was lost or that she lacked the necessary vocabulary. Her involvement significantly enhanced our experience and enriched every tour. I would highly recommend Chiyako to anyone looking for a Guide or Translator. When I return to Fukuoka, I will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Chiyako, for your dedication, professionalism, and kindness. You made our experience in Japan even more memorable.

Thank you very much for your warm message. It was my great pleasure to accompany you on your trip as your interpreter. Your great enthusiasm and curiosity about the traditional Japanese cultures allowed me to explore the new experience and deepen my knowledge as a guide. Artisans in each workshop were also amazed that you were attentive to details and quick learners. I truly enjoyed conversation with you on the way. Thanks to the fun conversation, the tens of minutes of travel time flew by. I hope I could meet you again in the future!

“ An Unforgettable Yame Tea Experience”

Kazue-san was a wonderful guide during this one-day trip to Yame. We visited several matcha and green tea shops, and I was even able to purchase the famous Hoshino matcha, which is known for being very difficult to find. In addition, Kazue-san took the time to ask the shop owners about the background of their matcha, the history of their businesses, and other interesting details, then translated everything for me. I learned so much throughout the tour. I highly recommend Kazue-san to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated guide.

Dear, Ms. Li leen Thank you so much for your kind review and it made me really happy!! I had a wonderful time exploring Yame with you. It was really great that we were able to find some Hoshino matcha for you as it is not always easy to come by. It was also a pleasure learning more about the tea shops together and chatting with the owners. Yame has such a rich tea culture, and I’m glad I could help share some of the stories and history behind it. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope you enjoy your matcha back home, and I wish you many more memorable adventures in Japan in the future! Warmest, Kazue
