About Tour Guide Hitomi T.
Hello every one! Thank you for reading my profile. I'm Hitomi, a guide in Kyushu. 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!

“Fantastic Day in Fukuoka with Hitomi”
We had a fantastic private full-day tour in Fukuoka with Hitomi as our guide. She organized the day perfectly, starting with a morning train to Dazaifu to visit the Tenmangu Shrine and its small museum, followed by a lovely lunch at a local soba restaurant. In the afternoon, we enjoyed Fukuoka Tower and a relaxing walk at the seaside park. Hitomi was warm, organized, and very knowledgeable, making the day flow smoothly and enjoyable for the whole family. She explained everything clearly and adjusted plans to make the experience even better. We truly had a great day with her and would highly recommend her as a guide in Fukuoka.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy to hear that you had a good time in Fukuoka and liked the soba place. Please come back again to Fukuoka and stay longer next time so that we can visit more places in Kyushu!

“Excellent walking tour around Fukuoka”
We started off by taking the train to Daizaifu shrine, which wasn't too busy at 10am. I bought a snack of warabi mochi which was yummy. We pased the famout Starbucks, and made our way over the 3 bridges to the shrine itself. If you see a long queue to touch the bull, don't g to that one as there are a few ones around with no queue. Pro tip: make your way to the stairs to Tenkai Inari Shrine as it's away from the crowds. We then made our way back into Fukuoka to Curry Honpo, a delicious speciality curry restaurant using a recipe going back decades. We then visited Kushida Shrine, Hakata Machiya Hometown Museum and finally Tochoji Temple. Hitomi was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended!
Hitomi T.
Thank you for your kind comments on my tour in Fukuoka. I'm happy to hear that you had fun! I hope you come back again to Kyushu and stay longer to explore more interesting places.

“Fukuoka from the cruise port”
Hitomi was an excellent guide. We gave her a List of everything wanted to see and do. We were very successful. Sakura Were beautiful. Eating the local Ramen was delicious. Hitomi hired a local taxi for eight hours and we were able to see and do whatever we wanted. All the guides and taxi services were excellent. We are grateful and feel so lucky to have met such wonderful people. Mata ne.
Hitomi T.
