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.


Important

I can work for tours staying for a few days to consecutive days.

“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.

Dear Mr. Yuchen Shi Thank you for participating in the Fukuoka Historical Tour. I was impressed by your great interest in Fukuoka and Japanese culture and history. You knew all the historical events and people in Japan, and since I am also a love of history, I enjoyed your talk. I especially learned a lot from your interesting talk about “The King of Na gold seal “ , a historical and cultural heritage of Fukuoka. If you ever have a chance, please visit Fukuoka or Kyushu again. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Yoko Tateno

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!

Thanks for your reading this greeting! My name is Katsuhisa. Please call me Katsu:) And my catchphrase is "quick and flexible hospitality." My former job is salesperson. I sailed many beautiful furniture in various cities in Japan. I think sales is very similar to guide in expressing contents to the customer attractively and entertaining. I’ve made many customers entertained by my talk and experience. So I do want to entertain you with attractive of Nagasaki, Fukuoka and Japan, and with the respect to the country and the cities which gave birth and brought me up. Thank you;)

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.

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.
