About Tour Guide Kumiko K.

Hello! I’m Kumiko, a Fukuoka-based guide and a former nursery teacher with 10 years of experience .In autumn 2026, I began my journey as a professional local guide, combining my experience in childcare with my passion for connecting with people.

After spending 10 years living in Tokyo, I moved to Fukuoka and have called this beautiful city home for 11 years. Over the years, I’ve shown many friends and their families around Fukuoka, discovering the places I truly love and the local spots I’m confident recommending. So I know not only the famous attractions, but also the hidden gems that make Fukuoka special.

What makes my tours special is that I truly listen to what you want. I take the time to understand your interests, your travel style, and what would make your day special, then create a thoughtful and flexible plan just for you. My 10 years as a nursery teacher also taught me to be patient, attentive, and considerate of each person’s needs. Whether you’re traveling with children, as a couple, with family, or on your own, I’ll make sure everyone feels comfortable and included.

Before becoming a local guide in Fukuoka, I provided government-related tourist information services in Tokyo, where I developed professional hospitality and communication skills.

I’d love to help you experience Fukuoka not just as a tourist, but as a place you can truly connect with and enjoy. Let’s discover the best of Fukuoka together!
