Hi, thank you for reading my profile. I'm Hitomi. 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!

“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.

Thank you for a wonderful day in Fukuoka. I was happy to see beautiful Sakura with you. It was a nice and relaxing day. That's great that you liked the Ramen we had for lunch! Please come back again to explore more Kyushu area. Take care and good luck on stitching!

“Fun tour in Fukuoka”
Hitomi-san was very professional in arranging the tour, and guiding us through attractions. Her knowledge and recommendations during our short tour makes for an excellent start of the tour. We had a bit of a mishap with our scheduling, and Hitomi-san was graceful enough in accommodating our needs. We are very grateful! Would definitely recommend Hitomi-san for a tour in Fukuoka!
Hitomi T.
Thank you for your nice comments on my tour in Fukuoka. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. It was a great pleasure meeting you all. Please come back again to Kyushu, there are still so many places to explore. Hitomi

“Experience of a lifetime!”
Hitomi was so kind and easy to work with even in the initial planning stages. She was flexible with our itinerary since we wanted to stay overnight in Takachiho to experience the yokagura performance. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had before the tour, and there were no surprises regarding expenses. Hitomi is very knowledgeable and gave us context about everything we were seeing (even provided illustration which were exquisite and painted by herself!). We were able to see a lot without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a unique part of Japan.
Hitomi T.
Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the day! It was such a beatiful day in Takachiho. I was amazed by your knowledge about Japanese mythology and our culture. And I'm glad that you were able to visit all the places you wanted in Miyazaki. Hope you enjoyed the yokagura as well:) Please come back to Kyushu again to explore more. Arigatou!
