About Tour Guide Kumiko K.
Hello! I'm Kumiko, your dedicated local guide in Fukuoka.
I moved here 11 years ago from Tokyo and was instantly captivated by Fukuoka’s unique charm. My guiding journey began in Tokyo, providing government-related tourist information services, where I mastered professional Japanese hospitality.
What sets my tours apart is my background as a former nursery teacher right here in Fukuoka. This experience allows me to offer exceptionally patient, clear, and inclusive communication. Whether you are a solo traveler or a family with children, I am an attentive listener and an adaptable companion who ensures everyone feels comfortable and engaged.
Now, as a long-time local, I’m passionate about sharing the hidden gems of my adopted home—from bustling Yatai stalls to serene temples. Let’s explore the best of Fukuoka together!

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!

Chiyako H.
I am a licensed guide interpreter. I have seven years of working experience in a foreign company, where I enjoyed communicating with people with various backgrounds. So I love my job as a guide that can broaden my view through direct interaction with foreign visitors. I have been living in Fukuoka for 20 years. Among several cities I have lived or stayed in before, Fukuoka is the best place with rich nature, history, exciting urban areas and excellent cuisine! Let me help you fully enjoy your stay in Fukuoka through my tour.

Explore Fukuoka with a Friendly Local Guide! Hi, I’m Masa T. — a passionate and experienced local guide based in Fukuoka. Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding more than 1,100 travelers from the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia as a volunteer guide. My goal is simple: to help you discover the best of Fukuoka through fun, personalized, and flexible tours. I have created many tour courses based on my local knowledge and interests, and I’m also happy to offer customized tours tailored to your specific preferences and schedule. I studied in the U.S. for 1 year and 8 months, and later worked as a manager at a major Japanese company, where I collaborated with engineers from various countries. I then served as a director of a group company for 7 years. These experiences have helped me connect easily with people from all over the world. After exploring, I’d be happy to introduce you to some of the best local restaurants, where you can enjoy Sushi, Tempura, Sukiyaki, Ramen, Teppanyaki, and more. Let’s make unforgettable memories together in Fukuoka! Drawing on my background in international projects and leadership positions, I strive to provide tours that are both enjoyable and insightful for my guests." Professional Development I participated in a five-day international convention organized by the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations in Fukuoka, attended by approximately 600 tour guides from around 50 countries. I attended professional seminars and actively exchanged knowledge with guides from around the world.
