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.

“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

“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

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.

Hello, my name is Masa. I live in Fukuoka city. After entering the big company in Japan as an engineer, I went to America to study for 1 year and 8 months. I have experience working with many American and European engineers. I worked as design section manager and construction manager. After retirement I worked at the group company as a director for seven years. Then I started an English volunteer guide. I have guided so many people from all over the world for 5 and half years. It is very fun to meet many foreigners. I prepared many tour courses and many nice restaurants. You can select one of them. After visiting your favorite tourist spot, I take you to the nice delicious local restaurant at Fukuoka. You can tell what kind of food you want to eat. I recommend Tempura and Sashimi, Teppanyaki, Sushi, Sukiyaki, and so on. I want you enjoy eating meal and talking with Japanese. I teach you some manner of Japanese food. I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

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!
