About Tour Guide Yoko T.
I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. Born in Sasebo Nagasaki Prefecture, I live in Fukuoka city now.
I cultivated the spirit of hospitality during my career at hotels in Asian countries, including Malaysia, Maldives, and Thailand, and at a hotel in Australia. After returning to Japan, I engaged in inbound tourism introducing great sites, Japanese culture, and Japanese food.
I confidently show around historical sites and urbanized areas and introduce delicious food in Fukuoka and Kyushu. I guide you to beautiful places according to your plans. I like traveling at home and abroad, watching movies, sports, and comedies. I also love music and often go to live concerts. Therefore, I can share a wide range of topics.
I am looking forward to seeing you and will help you make memories.

“Excellent! Truly amzing tour by Yoko!”
My family and I's experience was truly amazing! We wanted to experience a tour of the local Japan culture of the Fukuoka Prefecture and we got it! From experiencing the shrines and temples to the Japanese Garden waterfall was definitely worth our while! We will definitely book a tour with Yoko again if we can and next time we want to see the lying budda and more waterfalls. 10 out of 10!!!

Thank you very much for joining my Fukuoka Historical Tour the other day. I was overjoyed to receive such a wonderful review from you. It was an extremely hot day, but I was delighted to see you enjoying the tour with such energy and smiles. You listened so keenly to the historical stories—it was truly a pleasure to share them with you. I greatly enjoyed talking about the origins of Fukuoka and Hakata, as well as the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival. I was deeply moved by your kindness. I would be honored to guide you again—perhaps to see the great Buddha at Nanzoin or other places you find interesting. I’m already looking forward to the day we meet again.

“Wonderful Tour of Fukuoka”
I was very happy to end up experiencing Fukuoka with Yoko on her day tour. She speaks great English, was extremely knowledgeable about Fukuoka / Japan, and always answered my questions with optimism. Prior to meeting up with her, she responded very fast to online questions and was punctual on the day of our tour. She is a very friendly person and came well prepared. I can recommend her very highly! Thank you for a great day, Yoko. Until we meet again.

Thank you very much for participating in the Fukuoka City Historical Sites Tour. You showed great interest in many things, such as the history and culture of Japan and Fukuoka, the daily lives of people in Japan today, Japanese cuisine, and tourist spots in Kyushu. You listened to my explanations attentively and asked many thoughtful questions. I truly enjoyed guiding you. Even before the tour, you responded to my messages promptly, which made it easy to plan everything smoothly. Please come visit Kyushu and Fukuoka again. I look forward to guiding you once more. Sicerely, Yoko

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!

Yukihiro (Hero)行博
Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro(行博), call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018. 大家好！ 我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊（日本陸軍）。 I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places. 我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內，但是它有很多兵種和工作，所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方，例如北海道１０年，千葉縣１５年，沖繩16年還有別的有些地方。 I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide. 我一邊在沖繩當旅遊服務員大概半個月，一邊在九州長崎當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。 I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it. 我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊（英／中文），可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格，我正在繼續學外語。 I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though. 我會說英語和中文(簡／繁)，作為您的導游沒問題，沒有母語的人那麼好。

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."
