About Tour Guide Katsu N.
I am not a tour guide, but a tour concierge. I can provide OMOTENASI-Japan's refined hospitality tours, departing from Fukuoka and arriving at various locations in Kyushu.
I specialize in crafting custom tours that go beyond the typical sightseeing experience. By understanding your unique preferences and interests through pre-tour consultations, I create an itinerary that resonates with you. Whether you're eager to explore the rich history of Nagasaki, delve into the artistry of Kyushu’s ceramics, or discover Fukuoka's modern vibrancy, every aspect of your journey is tailored just for you.
What sets my tours apart is my attention to detail and high level of service. I use a Subaru JUSTY, a comfortable 5-passenger van, to ensure a private, smooth, and efficient travel experience. No more crowded buses or public transport hassles—just you and your group enjoying the journey in comfort.
I provide a personalized travel guidebook, which includes all the details you need to make your trip seamless and stress-free. This guidebook is designed to offer more than just an itinerary; it gives you context, insider tips, and local recommendations so you can get the most out of every moment.
In addition to this, I offer a range of amenities, such as free Wi-Fi during the tour, to keep you connected and comfortable. Your safety and enjoyment are my top priorities, so I’m always flexible, adapting your plans to your preferences as we go along.
If you're ready for a more intimate and insightful tour of Japan, starting from Fukuoka and exploring cities like Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Oita, I’d love to guide you on a journey that’s as unique as you are. Let’s create an unforgettable experience together!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Annya. I’m very happy you enjoyed the day and felt welcome in Nagasaki. I’m also glad you liked the lunch spot—sharing local places is one of my favorite parts of guiding. And thank you as well—I was also impressed by the delicious Chateaubriand you kindly treated me to! Wishing you both a wonderful rest of your cruise, and I’d be honored to guide you again someday!

“Perfect day in Nagasaki”
Katsu was the perfect guide for this group. He was efficient and knowledgeable and gave them a very thorough tour. He was easy to communicate with prior to the tour. I will definitely keep his information on file, should I have future clients traveling to Nagasaki. Kathy Price, President of Old World Travel.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Kathy. I’m honored that the tour left a positive impression. I did my best to make the experience as meaningful and comfortable as possible for Vivian’s group. I also offer tours in places like Fukuoka (especially during the sumo tournament), Mount Aso (volcanic landscapes), and Takachiho Gorge (mystical nature), among others. If your clients visit again, I’d be happy to assist. Thank you again for your trust.

“Tour of Nagasaki ”
Although I missed the tour , my wife , brother in law & sister in law all said they had a great tour with Katsu. I was very impressed with his pre tour communication as we docked at a smaller pier. He scouted it out and sent a video of where to meet. He also followed up after the tour to see how I was feeling! Thank you for the tour and for the tasty treat you sent for me! Kevin and gang from Canada
Katsu N.
Dear Kevin, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m truly glad to hear that your family enjoyed the tour, and I was happy to support in any way I could - even from a distance. I hope you’re feeling much better now. It was a pleasure preparing everything for your group, and I look forward to the chance to welcome you in person next time. Warm regards to you and your wonderful family! Best wishes, Katsu

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.

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.
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!
