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!

Kazue was great and very knowledgeable on the area. She made sure we were comfortable and showed us a stall with some of the most fresh and delicious food we had during our time in Japan.

“Excellent and accommodating guide!”
Kazue was a fantastic guide, who above and beyond to accommodate our schedule since we only had one day in Fukuoka. She reached out to my wife with an offer to drive her own car for a reasonable fee to accelerate our sightseeing. We took her up on her offer, and she showed up promptly at our Airbnb and was very thoughtful including having bottled water waiting for us in her car. With her help, we were able to see most of the major sites on our list and she included a lot of great advice about the surrounding region, cuisine and how to enjoy our evening after we wrapped up the tour. As a native, her advice was excellent. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Kazue-san and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting the area.

Dear, Mr. Dave Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking your time to make a great review on me after the long day for you. I am so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour with me. You are such kind and friendly people that I enjoyed a lot spending time with you and also our conversation. Actually I was worried about the traffic and crowds due to the long weekend, but your kind understanding made me comfortable throughout the tour. Thank you!! Hope you will have a wonderful time for the rest of your trip and hope to see you again somewhere in the future. Warmest, Kazue
