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!

“A wonderful day.”
Our tour starts at 9am, since then she has been provided her high standard of service, even I made a small changes of the places I wanted to visit. During the tour, she keeps telling us all the history and stories. Her service is second to none, and I have no problem recommending her to my friends and relatives in future.

“Do not miss Kazue’s food stall tour! Five stars!!”
Our family loved this experience. Kazue made perfect choices throughout, somehow finding six open stools at the delicious vendors. Do not miss this when in Fukuoka
