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!

“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.
