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!

“A Wonderful Day Discovering Fukuoka with Kazue”
We had a wonderful walking tour of Fukuoka with our guide Kazue, and it truly became one of the highlights of our visit. Kazue took us through the charming streets of Hakata Old Town, sharing stories and cultural insights that made the history of the area come alive. One of the most memorable moments was visiting Nanzoin Temple and seeing the magnificent Reclining Buddha of Nanzoin. Standing before such an impressive statue was truly breathtaking. We also explored the lively Tenjin Chikagai, where Kazue helped us navigate the area and recommended some fantastic places to eat in Fukuoka. What made the experience extra special was Kazue herself. She was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and her love for Fukuoka really shines through. Thanks to her, we didn’t just see the city—we truly experienced it. Thank you, Kazue, for such a memorable day. We will always remember Fukuoka fondly because of this tour.
