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!

“ An Unforgettable Yame Tea Experience”
Kazue-san was a wonderful guide during this one-day trip to Yame. We visited several matcha and green tea shops, and I was even able to purchase the famous Hoshino matcha, which is known for being very difficult to find. In addition, Kazue-san took the time to ask the shop owners about the background of their matcha, the history of their businesses, and other interesting details, then translated everything for me. I learned so much throughout the tour. I highly recommend Kazue-san to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated guide.

Dear, Ms. Li leen Thank you so much for your kind review and it made me really happy!! I had a wonderful time exploring Yame with you. It was really great that we were able to find some Hoshino matcha for you as it is not always easy to come by. It was also a pleasure learning more about the tea shops together and chatting with the owners. Yame has such a rich tea culture, and I’m glad I could help share some of the stories and history behind it. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope you enjoy your matcha back home, and I wish you many more memorable adventures in Japan in the future! Warmest, Kazue
