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.

Reviews

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.

Thank you very much for your kind and wonderful review. It was a great pleasure meeting you at Hakata Wharf and I truly enjoyed spending the day with you. I’m very glad to hear that you appreciated the relaxed pace of the tour and the places. I’m also happy that you enjoyed the meal at the Japanese restaurant—it’s always a special part of the experience. Thank you again for your recommendation.

Great Day!

We had a really good day in Fukuoka with Masa. He was very professional and personable. We asked if we could make an extra stop to buy Raman for our grandkids at home and he made a special effort to take us to a restaurant that was very well known to buy it.

Dear Marilyn C. Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you in Fukuoka. I’m glad we could find the ramen for your grandchildren – I hope they enjoy it! Wishing you many more wonderful travels. Best regards, Masazumi Tsukano

Hell of Beppu: Jigoku Meguri Cultural Tour - November 15

We truly enjoyed our “Hell of Beppu: Jigoku Meguri Cultural Tour.” Our guide made the experience memorable with fascinating explanations and a very pleasant attitude. The weather was perfect, the itinerary well-planned, and every stop was engaging. The lunch was also a highlight; the omelette rice was one of the best dishes we had on our trip. We would definitely recommend this tour to other travelers.
