About Tour Guide Masazumi T.

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."

I participated in a five-day international convention organized by the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations in Fukuoka, attended by approximately 600 tour guides from around 50 countries, where I attended professional seminars and exchanged knowledge with guides from around the world.
