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!

“Family Tour Guide in Fukuoka”
We had a wonderful experience with Kazue as our tour guide during our recent visit to Fukuoka. She led us through Kushida Shrine and Canal City Hakata, and her warm personality, clear organization, and remarkable flexibility made the day truly enjoyable. What stood out most was her adaptability — when our plans suddenly changed due to our kids, Kazue adjusted seamlessly and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. It’s clear she genuinely cares about providing a great experience for families. I would 100% recommend Kazue to anyone looking for a family-friendly, professional, and thoughtful tour guide in Fukuoka.
