Are you keen to experience something very unique and traditional in Fukuoka?
If yes, try delicious local food in Yatai stalls! Yatai, open air food stands are probably the city’s best known symbol and a “must try” during your stay! Traditionally sitting shoulder to shoulder at the counter, these mobile Yatai kitchens have usually 8 to 10 seats and provide you with a cozy unique atmosphere.
An experience you will never find anywhere else!

About Tour Guide Kazue I.
Hi! I am Kazue. I am from Fukuoka and live in the central city.
I spent almost 20 years traveling around the world as a cabin attendant. Meeting different people, different cultures and eating local food were best things in my career.
This experience definitely widened my perspective and will help me in some way when I work as a guide.
Since I spent half my life outside of Japan, I noticed our culture and traditions are very unique and became more interested in historical sites in Japan.
For my personal life, I am a mom of twins. It is still a hard work but I am enjoying a lot with them. We take them around Kyushu whenever possible for their fun and experience.
We all love traveling after all.
I am looking forward to showing you around our hometown soon!

“An Absolute Stand Out of a Tour Guide!”
Kazue is a wonderful Tour Guide who showed me the Yatai Stalls that are not readily known to regular tourists. The experience was one of a kind, and I am so happy to have gotten lucky and was able to book Kazue a day in advance of the tour! Must book early!!

“Wonderful time in Fukuoka”
We had a wonderful time in Fukuoka. Ms Kazue was such a good guide. She gave us trivias of the different places and shared a bit of the Japanese cultures. Ms Kazue was nice and we had great conversations with her. She was also very helpful with anything else we needed like recos to restos and shopping areas.
