Fukuoka Tour Reviews
“Hitomi was Excellent!”
Hitomi met us early. She was on time and very knowledgeable about the area. She was flexible with our day and made it very easy to sit back and follow her around. I highly recommend using a guide if you have never been to the area before. She was a life saver!

(49 reviews)Midori-san, thank you for your kind review. It was very nice meeting you all and I'm glad that I could be your help. Please come back to Kyushu again and we'll explore more of different area together!
“A very special 'Attack on Titan' tour to remember forever!”
My son and I got to experience a very unique tour with Hitomi. Her expertise with touring allowed us to create a special and focused tour of all things 'Attack on Titan' in the wonderful area of Hita. She ensured that we were able to see all the things we wanted or needed to see. We would have had a difficult time trying to put this experience together ourselves and we truly appreciate Hitomi's guidance and warm personality. We thank you so very much Hitomi!

“Wonderful day in Beppu! ”
We had an amazing day out with Hitomi! Despite the rainy weather, we had a fantastic time exploring the different Hells. Hitomi took us to some truly fascinating sights, and the unique lunch experience of steaming our own food was unforgettable. The sand bath was a one-of-a-kind experience, and the onsen was incredibly relaxing. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable day, thanks to Hitomi's guidance and expertise. Additionally, our driver was kind enough to make a stop at a beautiful location where we could capture some stunning pictures of the blooming cherry blossoms. It was a thoughtful gesture that added to the overall enjoyment of the day and allowed us to create lasting memories of our time spent exploring with Hitomi. Highly recommended!
