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!

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!

“Fukuoka Yatai stall hopping tour”
We spent a wonderful couple of hours with Kazue-san learning about Fukuoka/Hakata and enjoying the yatai street food. She was very accommodating and friendly, and easily found vegetarian options for us. We met her on our first day in Japan, and Kazue-san helped negotiate public transport from our hotel lobby.

Warmest,Kazue

“Lexus factory visit”
Kazue accompanied us as interpreter to the Lexus factory vist. She was very well prepared, punctual and professional in her translation. It was a pleasure to have her with us.

“Best day yet in Fukuoka”
We had a great first day in Fukuoka with Kazue. She was right on time, very informative and flexible. We had a couple of us that have bad knees, hips etc and she went out of her way to make the tour as comfortable as possible with the least amount of stairs, and gave us great tips and suggestions for restaurants and sights in the area. She is very knowledgeable and sweet. Mahalo Kazue for the best first day ever in Fukuoka!
