About Tour Guide Kazue I.
Hi! I am Kazue. I am from Fukuoka and live in the central city.
I spent almost 20 years traveling around the world as a cabin attendant. Meeting different people, different cultures and eating local food were best things in my career.
This experience definitely widened my perspective and will help me in some way when I work as a guide.
Since I spent half my life outside of Japan, I noticed our culture and traditions are very unique and became more interested in historical sites in Japan.
For my personal life, I am a mom of twins. It is still a hard work but I am enjoying a lot with them. We take them around Kyushu whenever possible for their fun and experience.
We all love traveling after all.
I am looking forward to showing you around our hometown soon!

“Great experience”
We had an excellent time with Kazue! We changed the itinerary on her many times and she was always happy to accommodate us. She explained the history and the Buddhist ways so we could better understand what we were seeing. Kazue is a wonderful guide with great English skills. Don't hesitate to book her, you will be in great hands!

(22 reviews)Dear, Mrs.Julie Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for showing your interests in Japanese culture, traditions and history. It was really my pleasure to explain things to you. Pls. come back to Fukuoka to explore more! Warm regards, Kazue
“Memorable experience”
Great tour...unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating but that didn't deter Ms Kazue from taking us to hidden gems where locals go. The rain was actually a plus because we didn't have to wait long to get seated. One yatai we went to was known for their gyoza, delicious. Another has been in business for over 30 years. Thank you Kazue for a wonderful tour... aloha Michael and Jo Ann

(22 reviews)Dear, Mr.Michael Thank you very much for your kind review. I am glad to know that you liked the Yatai tour. I also enjoyed a lot spending the time with you that night. Like you said, the weather wasn't very good, so we did not see as many Yatai stalls as usual unfortunately, but thanks to you, we could still enjoy a lot. Hope to see you again next time you come back to Fukuoka. Warm regards,Kazue
“"Exceptional Guided Experience”
Our group of 6 had a great experience with Kazue as our guide. From the moment we engaged her, she went above and beyond to make our journey smooth and enjoyable. Kazue provided us with pre-arrival details, kept us informed about the weather, and tailored our itineraries to fit our preferences. Her recommendations for exploring the Hakata, old town, Daizafu and Yanagawa were spot on. Her vast knowledge and dedication quickly impressed us. She offered insights and details that we would have missed on our own, making the trip truly unforgettable. Thanks to her, we were able to explore Fukuoka with remarkable ease. I highly recommend Kazue to anyone seeking a local guide in Fukuoka. Her expertise and dedication to her clients are exceptional.
