Explore Fukuoka with a Friendly Local Guide!
Hi, I’m Masa T. — a passionate and experienced local guide based in Fukuoka.
Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding more than 1,100 travelers from the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia as a volunteer guide. My goal is simple: to help you discover the best of Fukuoka through fun, personalized, and flexible tours.
I have created many tour courses based on my local knowledge and interests, and I’m also happy to offer customized tours tailored to your specific preferences and schedule.
I studied in the U.S. for 1 year and 8 months, and later worked as a manager at a major Japanese company, where I collaborated with engineers from various countries. I then served as a director of a group company for 7 years. These experiences have helped me connect easily with people from all over the world.
After exploring, I’d be happy to introduce you to some of the best local restaurants, where you can enjoy Sushi, Tempura, Sukiyaki, Ramen, Teppanyaki, and more.
Let’s make unforgettable memories together in Fukuoka!
Drawing on my background in international projects and leadership positions, I strive to provide tours that are both enjoyable and insightful for my guests."

“comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to Fukuoka”
My husband and I had a delightful full day tour of Fukuoka with Masa-San. Masa-San was knowledgeable and fluent in English. The pace of the tour was just right for us, there were plenty of photo opportunities and the choice of lunch venue was excellent. A special thank you to Masa-San for assisting us to purchase a specific food item to bring back to Singapore. We highly recommend this tour.

“An excellent way to see Fukuoka's highlights”
Masazumi (Masa) arrived on time at Hakata Wharf. His nature was gentle and friendly and we both enjoyed our tour. We visited a shrine, a history museum, a temple and the large park with its Japanese garden. We finished the tour with a meal at a typical Japanese restaurant. The tour was unrushed and we would highly recommend Masa as a tour guide.
