About Tour Guide Katsu N.
Thank you for taking the time to read my greeting! My name is Katsuhisa, but please feel free to call me Katsu. :)
My philosophy is rooted in my catchphrase: "Quick and flexible hospitality."
Before becoming a guide, I worked as a salesperson, introducing customers to beautiful furniture across various Japanese cities. That experience taught me how to present products and ideas in a way that is both engaging and memorable—a skill I now bring to my role as a guide.
However, I am more than just a guide; I am your concierge. Whether it's tailoring an itinerary to your specific interests or preparing seamless experiences with meticulous attention to detail, my goal is to provide you with a journey that exceeds expectations.
I am deeply passionate about sharing the unique charm of Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Japan as a whole, while honoring the culture and places that shaped who I am today.
Let me craft an experience that is both enlightening and truly unforgettable.
Thank you, and I look forward to welcoming you! :)

“Nice day outside of Fukuoka”
We had a nice day with Katsu. He was very detail oriented. We told him we wanted to see the pokemon manhole covers and he took us to all three right at the beginning. Then we enjoyed the shrine and historical sights. He arranged for us a very good lunch where we enjoyed steak and eel. Katsu created a new itinerary for us which exceeded our expectations!

Dear Julie, Rodney, and Lily, -Thank you for leaving me a review even though you were tired after a long trip. I'm glad that you were satisfied. After doing some research, I found that there are still more Pokemon manholes in the area where I can make a tour, so I look forward to seeing you again. -Katsuhisa

“Excellent Service By Mr Katsu N.”
My mother and I are very happy with the service that Mr Katsu has provided. It was a very pleasant journey in Nagasaki. He is attentive, patient and helpful. He has even asked what songs that we would like to listen so he can download before the trip for us. Though certain places are not accessable for seniors, he will still bring us there to take a picture. We would like to have him if we were to visit Nagasaki again. Thank you.

“A wonderful day in Nagasaki ”
Katsu gave us a wonderful and personal day in Nagasaki. He planned everything as I had asked and was always looking out for our comfort. We saw so much and had an amazing lunch in a tiny restaurant we would never have found on our own. Katsu is very caring and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend touring with him.
Katsu N.
Thank you for your review! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I'm glad you were able to finish the tour with a nice purchase. I also work as a guide in Fukuoka, so I hope we can meet again in Fukuoka. I look forward to seeing you again. Katsuhisa

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!
Chiyako H.
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.
Masatoshi M.
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.
