About Tour Guide Hitomi T.
Hi, thank you for reading my profile. I'm Hitomi. I've lived and visited many countries such as US, Canada, France, Spain, Singapore, Australia etc. Because I'm interested in learning different cultures and languages and I love meeting people from all over the world.
When I visited Vietnam, I took a private tour with a local guide. Her private tour was very unique and fun, it made my trip very special and unforgettable. I had a really good time with her. That experience made me want to be a guide in Japan.
Visiting other countries and experiencing other cultures are very exciting and refreshing. There're lots of things to see and experience in Japan too. Let's enjoy and have a memorable time together! No travel no life!

Visit Takachiho from Fukuoka -Homeland of the Japanese myth-
“Experience of a lifetime!”
Hitomi was so kind and easy to work with even in the initial planning stages. She was flexible with our itinerary since we wanted to stay overnight in Takachiho to experience the yokagura performance. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had before the tour, and there were no surprises regarding expenses. Hitomi is very knowledgeable and gave us context about everything we were seeing (even provided illustration which were exquisite and painted by herself!). We were able to see a lot without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a unique part of Japan.
Hitomi T.
Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the day! It was such a beatiful day in Takachiho. I was amazed by your knowledge about Japanese mythology and our culture. And I'm glad that you were able to visit all the places you wanted in Miyazaki. Hope you enjoyed the yokagura as well:) Please come back to Kyushu again to explore more. Arigatou!
“An enjoyable snapshot of parts of Fukuoka”
We needed a less hectic day between two packed day trips and Hitomi's flexible agenda was ideal. Hitomi is an excellent guide and pieced together our selected destinations, including an Ikebana lesson, seamlessly. Just what we hoped for and much appreciated. Thank you
Hitomi T.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed the Ikebana lesson. I think it was a very interesting experience to do. And yes, it was a very relaxing day for all of us. Thank you
“A lot to learn in Nagasaki, and very enjoyable”
Hitomi is an excellent guide and in the day was able to introduce us to Nagasaki, its beautiful harbour and history from time before foreign arrivals, growing international trade, and then the devastation of the atomic bomb. We used a range of public transport and very much enjoyed the suggested meal at lunch. It was a very enjoyable day with a considerate and highly informed guide. Thank you.
Hitomi T.
It was a pleasure to introduce you to Nagasaki. Nagasaki is one of my favorite cities because of its history, so I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and the food! Thank you for a wonderful time together.

Visit Takachiho from Fukuoka -Homeland of the Japanese myth-
Good getaway from city! Takachiho is located in the northwest of Miyazaki. Although it takes more than 3.5 hours to get there from Fukuoka, it is worth visiting to see those beautiful sceneries. Takachiho has been known since ancient times as a sacred ground where the gods descended to earth. Let's visit some spiritual spots and feel the energy!

Fun Boat Ride in Yanagawa, enjoy a day trip to countryside
There are some places that you can enjoy boat ride throughout Japan, but I definitely say Yanagawa boat ride is the most famous and popular one. You can enjoy the unique view and atmosphere from the boat and it must be one of the good memories during your stay in Japan. In addition to the boat ride, we will visit 2 different Japanese houses. One was a big architecture for the feudal load and another was a small house for a samurai retainer. Enjoy local tour and have fun.
