“Excellent! Truly amzing tour by Yoko!”
My family and I's experience was truly amazing! We wanted to experience a tour of the local Japan culture of the Fukuoka Prefecture and we got it! From experiencing the shrines and temples to the Japanese Garden waterfall was definitely worth our while! We will definitely book a tour with Yoko again if we can and next time we want to see the lying budda and more waterfalls. 10 out of 10!!!

Thank you very much for joining my Fukuoka Historical Tour the other day. I was overjoyed to receive such a wonderful review from you. It was an extremely hot day, but I was delighted to see you enjoying the tour with such energy and smiles. You listened so keenly to the historical stories—it was truly a pleasure to share them with you. I greatly enjoyed talking about the origins of Fukuoka and Hakata, as well as the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival. I was deeply moved by your kindness. I would be honored to guide you again—perhaps to see the great Buddha at Nanzoin or other places you find interesting. I’m already looking forward to the day we meet again.

“Wonderful Tour of Fukuoka”
I was very happy to end up experiencing Fukuoka with Yoko on her day tour. She speaks great English, was extremely knowledgeable about Fukuoka / Japan, and always answered my questions with optimism. Prior to meeting up with her, she responded very fast to online questions and was punctual on the day of our tour. She is a very friendly person and came well prepared. I can recommend her very highly! Thank you for a great day, Yoko. Until we meet again.

Thank you very much for participating in the Fukuoka City Historical Sites Tour. You showed great interest in many things, such as the history and culture of Japan and Fukuoka, the daily lives of people in Japan today, Japanese cuisine, and tourist spots in Kyushu. You listened to my explanations attentively and asked many thoughtful questions. I truly enjoyed guiding you.
