About Tour Guide Kao A.
Hi, I'm Kao, a National goverment licensed tour guide. I got a license in 2015.
I currently live in Kitakyushu city with my husband and two daughters,
and am very familiar with the tourism industry because I used to be a tour escort taking Japanese tourists around the world and Japan for 10 years.
Not only in Kitakyushu city, but I can also guide people in many places in Fukuoka and surrounding areas in Kyushu and the mainland.
I love to guide and customize tours with hospitality.
Plus, I have lived in Gold Coast, Australia and in Vancouver, Canada, working as a tour guide for Japanese tourists.
I love travelling with my family and meeting new people from different cultures, just like you! And I love food (too much).
I am happy to customize tours upon your request! Please inquire for a quote.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Thank you.

They are so kind and I really enjoyed talking about many things during the tour. Once again, thanks for booking my tour and I hope to see you and your parents in the future. Please tell them my appreciation! Thank you!

“Kokura Castle”
We had a short tour of Kokura castle and its adjacent shrine. Kao suggested an itinerary that works best for our family. She was very detailed in providing historical information as well. Would definitely recommend her as a guide.

Hi Shirley, Thank you so much for your good comment on the tour. Although it was crowded at the bullet train station due to holiday rush, everything went well thanks to you and your family's corporation! Hope to see you again someday!

“Nagasaki Japan”
Kao was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and caring. Nothing was any trouble, my husband has a bad back and Kao took particular care to make sure he didn’t have to walk too far. She took us to the Spectacle Bridge which was fun. All in all I would highly recommend Kao as an excellent guide Sue Barty
