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!

“Kimono Tour”
We had such a wonderful experience with our Kazue! She did an excellent job customizing the tour to fit our family, especially since we were traveling with two kids. She was incredibly thoughtful and had drinks and little gifts ready for them, which was such a sweet touch and made them feel special. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and organized throughout the entire experience. Communication was also excellent—she was always quick to respond and made planning everything very easy. One of the highlights was the kimono experience she organized for us, which was absolutely wonderful and made our day even more memorable. We truly appreciated all the thought and effort she put into making the tour enjoyable for both the adults and the kids. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized and well-organized tour!
