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.

“Private Half day Fukuoka Historical and Cultural Tour and Full day Yanagawa River Cruise + Dazaifu Tenmangu”
A very pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable guide, Ms Yoko prepared each day's itinerary very well and in detail, highlighting special points of interest to our private group of four. She was punctual on arrival and made all arrangements, including transport and bookings meticulously. She also made good recommendations of restaurants for lunch. Despite our tour finishing about 2 hours late, she was extremely patient and accommodative. We thoroughly enjoyed our tours with Ms Yoko T as our guide. CH Koh, Singapore

“Excellent Experience with Yoko T.”
We contacted Yoko early in our planning process and she was quick to respond and help us plan our day in Fukuoka. She was so helpful and thorough in her responses that we were confident that we would have a wonderful day. She was waiting for us at disembarkation and shared so much about the city as well as what we were seeing and the history involved. She arranged an amazing lunch and, as a bonus, helped us find an item we really wanted. We highly recommend Yoko T.

Thank you very much for participating in the Fukuoka History and Nature Tour. You were very interested in the history and culture of Fukuoka and Dazaifu, as well as Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and Sugawara no Michizane. I really enjoyed showing them around. I was really happy to see you happy to find your favorite products on the approach to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and at commercial facilities. I also enjoyed our various small talks very much. It was a valuable experience for me. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Yoko T.

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!

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 16 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.

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.
