About Tour Guide 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!

Dear, Ms.Joan Thank you very much for your kind review. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that my explanations were easy to understand.

“A tour of Fukuoka and connecting with family”
If it were possible, we would award Kazue ten stars. We retained her services for a private Fukuoka tour, and she far exceeded our expectations. When we mentioned our search for relatives, Kazue made pre-arranged phone calls and coordinated meetings with two cousins and an uncle. She took us to the temple where our ancestors are buried, arranged a delicious lunch, and helped us navigate the language barrier. Without Kazue's assistance, we would not have been able to arrange any of this. We are grateful for Kazue's exceptional professionalism, kindness, and dedication to helping us connect with our roots. Thank you, Kazue, for this invaluable memory.

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

“Lovely time!”
Kazue was an absolutely wonderful guide, and we had a fantastic experience with her. From the very beginning, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our needs. She went out of her way to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable at all times. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach really stood out, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our experience enjoyable. Kazue is also a very effective communicator—clear, organized, and easy to coordinate with—which made the entire experience stress-free. Her knowledge was impressive, and she shared insights and context that made everything we saw even more meaningful. Overall, Kazue is professional, kind, and highly dedicated to what she does. We truly appreciated her effort and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and considerate guide.
Kazue I.
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.
