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!

“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!

“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!
