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!

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. My goal is simple: to help you discover the best of Fukuoka through fun, personalized, and flexible tours. I have created many tour courses based on my local knowledge and interests, and I’m also happy to offer customized tours tailored to your specific preferences and schedule. I studied in the U.S. for 1 year and 8 months, and later worked as a manager at a major Japanese company, where I collaborated with engineers from various countries. I then served as a director of a group company for 7 years. These experiences have helped me connect easily with people from all over the world. After exploring, I’d be happy to introduce you to some of the best local restaurants, where you can enjoy Sushi, Tempura, Sukiyaki, Ramen, Teppanyaki, and more. Let’s make unforgettable memories together in Fukuoka! Drawing on my background in international projects and leadership positions, I strive to provide tours that are both enjoyable and insightful for my guests." Professional Development I participated in a five-day international convention organized by the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations in Fukuoka, attended by approximately 600 tour guides from around 50 countries. I attended professional seminars and actively exchanged knowledge with guides from around the world.

Hi, I’m glad you found my page! I’m a local guide based in Kyushu who loves sharing the region’s history, food, and landscapes in a relaxed and friendly way. Think of me as someone who can make your trip comfortable and memorable, while keeping things easygoing and fun. I began guiding to share the history, scenery, and food of my home with visitors from around the world. Before this, I worked in luxury retail, where I learned how important details and genuine hospitality are. Now I bring that same spirit to my tours, making sure every guest feels comfortable, cared for, and free to enjoy their journey. I specialize in private car tours around Kyushu, so you don’t have to worry about train schedules or carrying luggage. We can stop where you like, take things at your own pace, and enjoy the scenery along the way. Onboard you’ll have free Wi-Fi, music, and a comfortable ride—perfect for families, couples, or friends who want both convenience and a touch of luxury. Some of my favorite places to share are: Nagasaki: Peace Park, Atomic Bomb Museum, and the city’s cultural blend Fukuoka: Dazaifu Shrine, city highlights, and Yanagawa’s river cruise with eel dishes Kumamoto: Mt. Aso’s volcanic views, Kumamoto Castle, and Kurokawa Onsen Oita: Hita’s riverside town, plus Beppu and Yufuin hot springs Saga: Arita’s ceramics and the Yoshinogari ancient site Takachiho Gorge: A mystical canyon tied to Japanese legends What I enjoy most is helping guests discover both famous sights and hidden corners of Kyushu, while keeping the experience comfortable and stress-free. Whether you’re drawn to culture, food, history, or beautiful scenery, I can adjust the plan to match your style. I’d love to share my part of Japan with you and create memories that last long after your trip. If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to send me a message. I look forward to welcoming you to Kyushu and showing you what makes this region so special!

I had worked for the Japan's biggest travel agency JTB (Japan Travel Bureau) for 35 years as a tour escort for Japanese. I visited 68 countries and of course all over Japan as well. So I’m familiar with almost all of the tourist attractions in Japan. More over I’m also a professional magician now. I’m a member magician of The Magic Castle in Hollywood in US. That's why I made a decision to become an English tour guide. I acquired a tour guide license issued by the Japanese government with a lot of hard work in 2016 and I started from the following year. I work as an English guide approximately 130 days a year. My wife is physically disabled, and I usually care for her. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I receive home care and bathing services, so I am unable to go out during the day as I have to prepare for and clean up afterwards. I am available to guide on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I can take up to four people sightseeing in my private car. I am available at any time during evening tours, such as YATAI tours. I look forward to hearing from you. Please ask me first. If it is possible.

“Private 6 hour Taxi tour”

TR Taxi provided taxi for a 6 hour tour from the cruise port, Mr Hamachi was our driver. We had a great day, seamless pick up at the port terminal and arrival just over an hour later at Kawachi Wisteria Gardens. Next Kokura Castle & gardens and finally a stop that Mr Hamachi recommended at the largest bronze reclining buhda in the world. Mr Hamachi was an excellent driver, and I would highly recommend his services and TR Taxi through GoWithGuide

“Nice Overview Tour of Fukuoka!”

Kasue drove us up to the reclining Buddha and we did a walking tour, which was very impressive. There are a number of pilgrimage stops and scenic overlooks in the area. We also took a driving tour of major sights in Fukuoka, then she gave us a very nice list of places to visit, shopping, restaurants etc for the rest of our stay. Kasue is very friendly, and is also a former Cathay Pacific flight attendant, so she speaks very good English. Most appreciated!

Dear, Mr.Ian Thank you very much for your kind review. I’m so glad you enjoyed visiting the reclining Buddha and exploring Fukuoka with me. It was a pleasure showing you some of the beautiful spots around the area. Thank you also for showing your great interests in the history and food culture here. I enjoyed talking with you about them. I hope the list of places I shared helped you enjoy the rest of your stay in Fukuoka. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. Warm regards,Kazue

Fukuoka Yatai stall hopping tour

“Amazing Yatai Time with the locals!”

With a group of 6, not easy to get seats at any stalls, however with Kazue's guide, we were able to experience amazing food at couple different Yatai stalls in Tenjin. A blast @ this one stall that operated by an 84 year old grandma, got to mingle with the locals - they were so friendly & even with language barrier, after few drinks, we all "understood" each other and made such great memories... Highly recommend Kazue's guide for your Yatai experience in Fukuoka!

Dear, Olivia Thank you so much for your lovely message! I’m truly happy I could share the yatai experience with you and your group. Also, I’m so glad you got to enjoy not only the food but also the warm atmosphere and connection with the locals. It was such a fun night! Thank you again for sharing your experience here! Warmest, Kazue
