About Tour Guide Chiyako H.

I am a licensed guide interpreter. I have seven years of working experience in a foreign company, where I enjoyed communicating with people with various backgrounds. So I love my job as a guide that can broaden my view through direct interaction with foreign visitors.


I have been living in Fukuoka for 20 years. Among several cities I have lived or stayed in before, Fukuoka is the best place with rich nature, history, exciting urban areas and excellent cuisine!

Let me help you fully enjoy your stay in Fukuoka through my tour.

Thank you very much for your warm message! I am pleased that cultural and historical values of Fukuoka were conveyed to you through the tour. I hope you would have another chance to visit here during cherry blossom season.

Absolutely excellent!

Chiyako was a wonderful guide for a day in Fukuoka. I would recommend her to any visitor wanting to learn something new. She was so personable and calm and cheerful, but more importantly she took me to unique places. I saw classic temples as well as ordinary life. She had done her research in order to educate me about many things and was well prepared. It was a totally pleasant tour. Take her tour!

Ellen san, Thank you very much for choosing my tour. I am pleased to know that you have found all the destinations unique and new, which I think, is an important aspect of the journey. I also enjoyed conversation with you and learned a lot from your profound insight. I thank you again for visiting Fukuoka!

Excellent private customized tour

Chiyako san is a very passionate, Flexible and elegant lady. We had an wonderful tour with her. She was punctual and well-prepared. At the beginning, we're going to have an onsen experience, but two of our family members couldn't get into onsen due to some reasons. We asked Chiyako san if we can change our itinerary. She agreed immediately even it was two days before the tour. She took us to the Hakata clay doll painting experience. We were having a lot of fun. She also took us to but some imariyaki and edokiriko (as we requested). We bought some beautiful porcelains. We finally went to toujoji temple to see the spiritual buildings and Buddha. We highly recommend Chiyako san as your tour guide in Fukuoka! She is diligent and committed!
