Yanagawa River Cruising and Dazaifu Tenmagu
Joined 2023
The river boat ride in Yanagawa is very enjoyable and relaxing! You never get tired of looking at unique view and beautiful waterways from the boat.
Unagi-Seiromushi (Eel) , the specialty in Yanagawa is a must try!
We can also visit Ohana, the former residence of feudal load who ruled this region during Edo periods, and the former house of Samurai.
Dazaifu Tenmangu is kind of on the way back to the city. We can stroll around the shrine and you can grab local sweets and some souvenirs there!

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!

“Fukuoka Yatai stall hopping tour”
We spent a wonderful couple of hours with Kazue-san learning about Fukuoka/Hakata and enjoying the yatai street food. She was very accommodating and friendly, and easily found vegetarian options for us. We met her on our first day in Japan, and Kazue-san helped negotiate public transport from our hotel lobby.

Dear, Mr. Dean Thank you so much for your nice words and I am glad to know that you enjoyed the Yatai tour. I also enjoyed spending the time and talking with you and your wife in the relaxing atmosphere. I do hope you will continue to have wonderful times in Kyushu and other areas in Japan. Thank you. Warmest,Kazue

“Best day yet in Fukuoka”
We had a great first day in Fukuoka with Kazue. She was right on time, very informative and flexible. We had a couple of us that have bad knees, hips etc and she went out of her way to make the tour as comfortable as possible with the least amount of stairs, and gave us great tips and suggestions for restaurants and sights in the area. She is very knowledgeable and sweet. Mahalo Kazue for the best first day ever in Fukuoka!
