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!

“Great guide at Fukuoka ”
Kazue was amazing. First trip to Fukuoka and she made it a great experience. My wife especially enjoyed the private Onsen (hot springs) she arrabged. Kazue was a great guide.

“A Wonderful Day Discovering Fukuoka with Kazue”
We had a wonderful walking tour of Fukuoka with our guide Kazue, and it truly became one of the highlights of our visit. Kazue took us through the charming streets of Hakata Old Town, sharing stories and cultural insights that made the history of the area come alive. One of the most memorable moments was visiting Nanzoin Temple and seeing the magnificent Reclining Buddha of Nanzoin. Standing before such an impressive statue was truly breathtaking. We also explored the lively Tenjin Chikagai, where Kazue helped us navigate the area and recommended some fantastic places to eat in Fukuoka. What made the experience extra special was Kazue herself. She was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and her love for Fukuoka really shines through. Thanks to her, we didn’t just see the city—we truly experienced it. Thank you, Kazue, for such a memorable day. We will always remember Fukuoka fondly because of this tour.

“Yanagawa river cruise with twin 3 year olds”
Hi we had a group of 8 people which was five adults and three children. Kazue was on time we took the train to do the river cruise and trying to navigate with two strollers was challenging but we were allowed to pack the strollers on the boat. There's two cruises one from the train station to the town and another for the town. We had an eel lunch and learned about strawberries from the nearby stand. It was a great trip and she gave us advice on how to get around the mall that we lived nearby.
Kazue I.
Dear, Mr.Wilson Thank you very much for your detailed comments for the tour. This would surely help someone especially traveling with children and a stroller. It is a pity that we couldn't make it to Dazaifu Tenmagu shrine after the river cruise. Please come back to Fukuoka again to do more things here. It was great meeting you all and spending the time together. Thank you again! Warmest,Kazue

Traditionally sitting shoulder to shoulder at the counter, these mobile Yatai kitchens have usually 8 to 10 seats and provide you with a cozy unique atmosphere.
