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!

“Kazue - a creative and hospitable guide and language skills.”
Kazue was creative in accommodating our requests and special needs on our tour of Fukuoka. She is a great driver and has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Her background as a flight attendant has made her skilled in hospitality and language. We would not have been able to navigate the various sites without her guidance. When a museum on our wish list was closed, she suggested a wonderful substitute. Thanks, Kazue.

“Fukuoka surrounds with Kazue”
By the time we met up with Kazue, we had changed our plans from a city tour to exploring the areas surrounding Fukuoka. She was incredibly flexible and quickly suggested some fantastic alternatives that complemented the places we had already visited in Japan. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with her and would highly recommend her warm hospitality and expertise as a guide.
