“Excellent Experience with Yoko T.”
We contacted Yoko early in our planning process and she was quick to respond and help us plan our day in Fukuoka. She was so helpful and thorough in her responses that we were confident that we would have a wonderful day. She was waiting for us at disembarkation and shared so much about the city as well as what we were seeing and the history involved. She arranged an amazing lunch and, as a bonus, helped us find an item we really wanted. We highly recommend Yoko T.

(5 reviews)Dear Mr. Yuchen Shi Thank you for participating in the Fukuoka Historical Tour. I was impressed by your great interest in Fukuoka and Japanese culture and history. You knew all the historical events and people in Japan, and since I am also a love of history, I enjoyed your talk. I especially learned a lot from your interesting talk about “The King of Na gold seal “ , a historical and cultural heritage of Fukuoka. If you ever have a chance, please visit Fukuoka or Kyushu again. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Yoko Tateno
