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!

Important

I will be happy to guide you neighboring prefectures if you pay me transportation fee.

Amazing Yatai Food Stall Experience!

Kazue was an outstanding tour guide! She provided us the opportunity to try many unique Fukuoka specialties at the stalls where the locals still eat and to experience the charming personalities of the owners who have been running the stalls for many years. The food was so good and tasty! Kazue made sure to keep us away from the touristy and crowded stalls around canal city, but did take us around the area to allow us to experience it. What a great local food experience we had! Thanks Kazue

Dear, Mr.Mark Thank you so much for your great comments for me and i am so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. In fact I enjoyed a lot talking to you and thank you for treating me as part of your team. It was great meeting you all. Warm regards, Kazue

Lovely introduction to Fukuoka!

Kazue was an amazing guide on our morning tour of Fukuoka. She was flexible with our schedule and even dropped us off at the restaurant where we had lunch reservations! She was very insightful of the different shrines and temples we visited and we even had some matcha tea and learned the correct way to enjoy it. We had a young toddler with us which isn't always easy. Kazue was very kind and patient with us. We appreciate her local insight in the questions we asked about the city and the recommendations she provided. Overall would definitely recommend!

Thank you again! Wishing for the healthy growth and happiness of Lana and hope to see you all again someday. Have a great time for the rest of your trip! Warmest, Kazue

Interesting Yatai hopping experience

We totally enjoyed our time with Kazue. She would have taken us to more local Yatais except many of them closed on Sundays. We appreciate her knowledge of her hometown and she also freely shared her information on the onsen we will be visiting. Thank you Kazue!

Dear, Mrs. Phoebe Thank you so much for your positive feedbacks and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the Yatai tour despite the weather. Yes, It was a pity that many stalls were closed on Sundays and also due to the weather. Maybe you can come back again? ^ ^ Hope you are enjoying at next destination! Thank you again. Warmest, Kazue

I had worked for the Japan's biggest travel agency JTB (Japan Travel Bureau) for 35 years as a tour escort for Japanese. I visited 68 countries and of course all over Japan as well. So I’m familiar with almost all of the tourist attractions in Japan. More over I’m also a professional magician now. I’m a member magician of The Magic Castle in Hollywood in US. That's why I made a decision to become an English tour guide. I acquired a tour guide license issued by the Japanese government with a lot of hard work in 2016 and I started from the following year. I guided 1,420 people with 17 groups totaly in 2017and 1,600 people in 1018. Through long work for travel business, I was assigned to excursions of all over Japan, such as Sapporo, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Okinawa and others, which gave me intimate knowledge about most places in the country. In addition, I am adept in business fields and knowledgeable about historical sites, traditional culture and modern subcultures in Japan. My wife is a disabled person with an intractable disease who needs 24-hour nursing care. Our daughter takes care of my wife while I am guiding. Even if my schedule is free, I may not be able to take the tour on days when my daughter cannot cooperate. Please ask me first. If it is possible.

Hello! My name is Tadashi. I was born and raised in Fukuoka and I've lived here all my life. I used to work for a local bank where I was mainly involved in export, import, and foreign exchange, etc. Afterwards I joined a university where I taught international economics and foreign trade for five years. I'm happy to arrange your tour plans according to your requests and help you to write your own unique story with me. If you're coming to Fukuoka for the first time, I recommend Tochoji Temple, Kushida Shrine and Fukuoka Castle Ruins where you can get feel for Japanese culture and history. Thirty minutes away from the center by train is Dazaifu. There you can enjoy a very famous shrine, Dazaifu Tenmangu, known as the home of " the god of literature or calligraphy." and Kyushu National Museum. Fukuoka is also a mecca for shopping and food. If you're coming to Fukuoka again, I recommend that you try local food, for example, Hakata Ramen-noodles in pork broth and locally caught fish. I can also take you to a traditional Japanese shopping arcade, Kawabata Shotengai. If you would like to get out of the city, we could go to Yanagawa, a town of canals, which is a one hour ride from the city center. You can try boat tours enjoying the leisurely view of the historic buildings and try Steamed Eel. Fukuoka travel tip: if you arrive in Fukuoka by JR, make sure to get off at "Hakata Station." Sorry, there's no "Fukuoka Station." on JR lines. Hakata is an old name for Fukuoka and your destination. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
