About Tour Guide Yoko T.

I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. Born in Sasebo Nagasaki Prefecture, I live in Fukuoka city now.

I cultivated the spirit of hospitality during my career at hotels in Asian countries, including Malaysia, Maldives, and Thailand, and at a hotel in Australia. After returning to Japan, I engaged in inbound tourism introducing great sites, Japanese culture, and Japanese food.

I confidently show around historical sites and urbanized areas and introduce delicious food in Fukuoka and Kyushu. I guide you to beautiful places according to your plans. I like traveling at home and abroad, watching movies, sports, and comedies. I also love music and often go to live concerts. Therefore, I can share a wide range of topics.

I am looking forward to seeing you and will help you make memories.

Wonderful care beyond a tour guide

YOKO is a very helpful and friendly tour guide—always smiling, accommodating, and a joy to be with. She even went beyond the tour days, responding to my questions and helping us navigate through Fukuoka. Her dedication and genuine care truly stand out, and I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Fukuoka. - Marcus Del Rosario We have visited Japan 5X to date, and hired the services of 3 local tour guides in Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe, Sapporo and now in Fukuoka with YOKO. We were really happy with YOKO. She was professional, thorough, informative and was even quick to help find the lost handbag of our daughter-in-law at the Canal City mall. - Ma. Mercedes Tioseco and Ricardo Martin We are incredibly grateful to have had YOKO as our tour guide. I experienced a terrifying bag scare in Fukuoka after leaving my bag—with all our passports—inside a mall restroom. Panic completely set in, but Yoko stayed calm, compassionate, and reassuring, guiding me step by step through what to do. She contacted mall security, stayed with me at the information desk, and thanks to her dedication, my bag was safely returned. YOKO truly went above and beyond. She was an absolute angel that day, and we could not have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended. -Paulette Del Rosario

Everyone, I'm deeply touched by your kind comments. You showed such interest in Japanese culture and history, and listened to my stories with such sincerity. During lunch, I also enjoyed hearing about life in the Philippines and your families. It felt like spending time with friends. There was an unexpected incident, but luckily the lost item was found. I'm truly grateful to whoever brought it from the restroom to the information desk. Please continue to enjoy your travels in Fukuoka and Kyushu. Yoko

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. Even before the tour, you responded to my messages promptly, which made it easy to plan everything smoothly. Please come visit Kyushu and Fukuoka again. I look forward to guiding you once more. Sicerely, Yoko
