About Tour Guide Manabu M.
Hi there! I'm Manabu , your personal guide ready to unveil the enchanting wonders of Japan through thoughtfully crafted tours suitable for travelers of all ages.
I am a 57 year old friendly guy living in Fukuoka city.
I grew up in Saitama prefecture, next to Tokyo and worked in Tokyo almost over 20 years and
Also worked in Osaka for 6 years, other than that I lived in Nagoya for 5 years and I have been around many major cities in Japan. But I assure you Hakata is the best place in Japan to visit and live, since you can visit Kyushu everywhere with stay in Fukuoka as hub and visit Nagasaki, Miyazaki, Oita , or Kagoshima , all of them are wonderful attractive places.
Kyushu is actually the origin of Japan in Japanese mythology, which generated the Japanese Shintoism in Takachiho Gorge. There are so many attractive places to see and so many fabulous foods to eat , fresh fish, beef, Motsunabe, Udon, and so many foods were generated from this region. I can introduce and explain a lots of stuff about here to you .
To talk about my career, I started to work at company Panasonic and after that , I walked on the career for Automotive component as sales working for American companies.
I had education at Meiji University majoring Business Administration and was exchanged to
University of Alberta in Canada. Though I walked in the field different from tourism, I was always aspired to talk about and promote Japan to foreign countries and people and wanted to be civil Ambassador for long time and became guide 2 years ago. I have guided Americans and so many foreigners globally and all of them have given me 5 star ratings, fortunately!
I can offer you the customized tour for you . I can listen to your hobby, things you want to do in Japan and accommodate your desire. Please come and see me. I can make your bucket list
