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, Ilan Thank you so much for your kind review! It was truly a pleasure guiding you and sharing the history and culture of Fukuoka with you. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it memorable. I also really enjoyed our time together and your wife and your interest in the local culture made the experience even more special for me.

“Wonderful Yatay stalls tour with Kazue”
Kazue is a lovely and very communicative guide, and her knowledge of Fukuoka’s famous yatai stalls was outstanding. She introduced us to different types of stalls with great confidence and took us to the local food stalls where residents actually go, rather than the usual tourist spots that visitors like us often end up at, which made the experience feel much more authentic. Having her with us made communication with the stall owners much easier, and the whole experience was wonderful. Without her, we would never have found these places on our own.

Dear, Ilan Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Fukuoka’s Yatai culture with me. One of my favourite things is introducing guests to the more local and authentic side of Fukuoka, so it means a lot that you appreciated those hidden spots and the atmosphere there. I really enjoyed spending the evening together sharing good food, drinks, and conversation. Hope to see you again someday! Warmest, Kazue

“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!
Kazue I.
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
