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!

“Wonderful time in Fukuoka”
We had a wonderful time in Fukuoka. Ms Kazue was such a good guide. She gave us trivias of the different places and shared a bit of the Japanese cultures. Ms Kazue was nice and we had great conversations with her. She was also very helpful with anything else we needed like recos to restos and shopping areas.

“Interesting and flexible tour”
The tour with Kazue was really great! At the beginning, she discussed with us what we wanted to see and flexibly adapted the plan to our subsequent travel plans. She not only shows you the places you would see as a tourist, but also takes you to more hidden corners and has lots of interesting things to tell you. She is also very friendly and easy to talk to. We highly recommend Kazue as a guide!

Dear, Tony Thank you so much for your great comments on me. I am really happy if you enjoyed the tour with me. It was a pleasure meeting both of you and I enjoyed talking to you during the tour. Hope you will come back to Fukuoka again! Wishing you all the best! Warmest, Kazue

“Local tour is a great way to know the city!”
Kazue is enthusiastic about sharing what she knows about the city with us, whether the historical or anecdotal side of the stories. She was able to accommodate our request to make a stop at the snack shop and tea place, and that helped traveling with parents more easily. Thanks to her introduction, my family developed a more personal feeling toward the city and enjoyed our stay very much.

Dear, Ms. Rae Thank you very much for your kind comments on me. I am glad to know that you all enjoyed your stay in Fukuoka. It was a great afternoon for me as well and I really enjoyed talking with you and your parents and was happy to see you all enjoying Japanese sweets at the cafe. Thank you so much again. Wishing you all the best. Warmest,Kazue
