About Tour Guide Hitomi T.

Hello every one! Thank you for reading my profile. I'm Hitomi, a guide in Kyushu. I've lived and visited many countries such as US, Canada, France, Spain, Singapore, Australia etc. Because I'm interested in learning different cultures and languages and I love meeting people from all over the world.

When I visited Vietnam, I took a private tour with a local guide. Her private tour was very unique and fun, it made my trip very special and unforgettable. I had a really good time with her. That experience made me want to be a guide in Japan.

Visiting other countries and experiencing other cultures are very exciting and refreshing. There're lots of things to see and experience in Japan too. Let's enjoy and have a memorable time together! No travel no life!

“A delightful visit.”

On 16/9/2026, I visited the Takasakiyama monkey mountain. It was a delightful visit, seeing how the cute little monkeys move about in their environment and especially when the feeding time arrived, how they interacted with their caretaker. Hitomi expert explanations on the monkeys and their forested environment was very enlightening. But before we came here, along the way , we passed by a big aquarium centre. Though it was not on the scheduled tour place to visit, Hitomi kindly agreed to visit the aquarium first. It was wonderful to see the playful seals demonstrations, the many coloured fishes in the tanks within a wonderful environment. The day ended on a happy note thanks to Hitomi.

It was a beatiful day in Beppu. I'm glad that you enjoyed watching those cute monkeys. It was a nice stop at that aquarium, I enjoyed the seals performance! Please try and enjoy the hot spring next time you come back to Kyushu!

“A Wonderful Tour Guide”

I met Hitomi on 13/9/2026 at my hotel, Koko hotel at Hakata, after arriving from the Fukuoka International Airport. The first thing that struck me was her pleasantness and courteous mannerisms. This put me at ease as this is the first time I am in Fukuoka. We visited the Machiya Folk Museum, the famous Kushida Shrine, followed by a walk through Kawabata Shopping Mall and there had a fabulous and delicious meal of tonkatsu ramen at eatery recommended by Hitomi. Thereafter we walked over to Tenjin area with it's underground shopping mall filled with many restaurants. When she dropped me off at my hotel after all these visits, I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and history of the places we visited. I had a good first day in Hakata thanks to Hitomi.

Thank you so much for writting such a nice comment on my tour. I am happy to know that you enjoyed your holiday. It was really nice spending time with you for 4 days. I enjoyed your company! Please come back again soon, I'll be more than happy to assist you and to introduce you to more interesting places in Kyushu.

“A very enlightening and enjoyable tour”

Hitomi gave me a splendid history of the Daizaufu Temmangu Shrine when we visited the shrine on 15/9/2026. She is very knowledgeable and takes pain to explain further whenever I had questions. This is important to me because I came to Fukuoka primary to visit this shrine. Likewise when we went the old castle ruins. She is very kind , caring and patient person. I would definitely recommend her to visitors who come to Fukuoka. She is a first rate guide. And a nice person . For first time visitor to Fukuoka like myself, she put me at ease to all the tourist spots we visited. Even recommending good places to eat.

Maha san, I had such a great time with you and I'm glad that you enjoyed the tour in Dazaifu. It was so nice when we found that figurine of Michizane! I hope that you come back again to Kyushu and explore more interesting and relaxing places. Thank you so much for sharing your time with me.
