Explore Fukuoka with a Friendly Local Guide!
Hi, I’m Masa T. — a passionate and experienced local guide based in Fukuoka.
Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding more than 1,100 travelers from the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia as a volunteer guide. My goal is simple: to help you discover the best of Fukuoka through fun, personalized, and flexible tours.
I have created many tour courses based on my local knowledge and interests, and I’m also happy to offer customized tours tailored to your specific preferences and schedule.
I studied in the U.S. for 1 year and 8 months, and later worked as a manager at a major Japanese company, where I collaborated with engineers from various countries. I then served as a director of a group company for 7 years. These experiences have helped me connect easily with people from all over the world.
After exploring, I’d be happy to introduce you to some of the best local restaurants, where you can enjoy Sushi, Tempura, Sukiyaki, Ramen, Teppanyaki, and more.
Let’s make unforgettable memories together in Fukuoka!

“Fantastic Tour Guide! ”
I had an unusual tour request for Masazumi and he went above and beyond to help organise it for me. He knows some interesting local spots, the tour was well paced, and he was very friendly. He's an impressive tour guide and was really helpful with my niche tour requests. 10/10 would recommend and book again.
Masazumi T.
I had a very good time with very nice couple. I am very glad you liked Okonomiyaki very much. Thank you so much for your kind words and generous tip. It was a pleasure guiding you both!

“Patience, attention to detail and highly organised”
Masazumi prepared a very short-notice tour for me and included destinations and activities important to me. His time management was excellent. He was informative and answered all my questions. I really appreciated his generosity in going to the post office and the large cake market with me... neither probably his idea of a good time! Masa has a good sense of humor and a dog called 'Pudding! I heavily recommend his services.
Masazumi T.
Thank you so much for your nice review. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed my tour. I'm happy I could help you send souvenirs to your friends in New Zealand. I hope you have a wonderful time during your one and half month stay in Japan.
