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!

“Amazing Yatai Food Stall Experience!”
Kazue was an outstanding tour guide! She provided us the opportunity to try many unique Fukuoka specialties at the stalls where the locals still eat and to experience the charming personalities of the owners who have been running the stalls for many years. The food was so good and tasty! Kazue made sure to keep us away from the touristy and crowded stalls around canal city, but did take us around the area to allow us to experience it. What a great local food experience we had! Thanks Kazue

“Lovely introduction to Fukuoka! ”
Kazue was an amazing guide on our morning tour of Fukuoka. She was flexible with our schedule and even dropped us off at the restaurant where we had lunch reservations! She was very insightful of the different shrines and temples we visited and we even had some matcha tea and learned the correct way to enjoy it. We had a young toddler with us which isn't always easy. Kazue was very kind and patient with us. We appreciate her local insight in the questions we asked about the city and the recommendations she provided. Overall would definitely recommend!

Thank you again! Wishing for the healthy growth and happiness of Lana and hope to see you all again someday. Have a great time for the rest of your trip! Warmest, Kazue

“Interesting Yatai hopping experience ”
We totally enjoyed our time with Kazue. She would have taken us to more local Yatais except many of them closed on Sundays. We appreciate her knowledge of her hometown and she also freely shared her information on the onsen we will be visiting. Thank you Kazue!

Dear, Mrs. Phoebe Thank you so much for your positive feedbacks and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the Yatai tour despite the weather. Yes, It was a pity that many stalls were closed on Sundays and also due to the weather. Maybe you can come back again? ^ ^ Hope you are enjoying at next destination! Thank you again. Warmest, Kazue
