About Tour Guide Tac K.

“Fantastic Guide!”

We had an incredible experience with Tac as our guide in Kyushu. I wanted to do a really custom itinerary that I couldn’t find online, and after reaching out to several guides who said it wasn’t possible to do in a day, Tac was the only one who made it happen. Without me even asking, he created multiple route options based on my ideas, which made the itinerary even better. He went out of his way to meet us outside his usual area, was on time, thoughtful, and had everything printed and organized. He kept us perfectly on schedule so we could make it to our onsen in time for dinner, while still fitting everything in. What really stood out was how much he cared—he even secured hard-to-get boat tickets for us ahead of time, which would’ve been difficult for me to do from abroad. Thanks to his effort, we had one of the best days of our trip. I’d highly recommend Tac to anyone visiting Fukuoka or the Kyushu region.

Thank you so much for your review. I also had a truly enjoyable day. What made me happiest was the moment when, on our way from Takachiho to Aso, I started worrying that the clouds might ruin the beautiful panoramic view at Daikanbo — but as we got closer, the sky cleared up, and you were able to enjoy the beautiful 360-degree panorama under bright sunshine. As you mentioned, it was a long-distance drive on the first day of a three-day weekend, and I was a little nervous because any heavy traffic could have easily thrown off our schedule. But in the end, I was happy to see both of you enjoying Takachiho, including the boat ride, and we arrived at Kurokawa Onsen with time to spare — I felt such a sense of relief at that moment. Throughout the tour, I was truly touched by how calm, thoughtful, and kind both of you were, and I returned home feeling truly fulfilled and grateful for the day we spent together. It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I truly appreciate the wonderful time we shared.

“*Custom Tour* - Totally Satisfied!”

Tac was a very conscientious guide and host. I requested a custom tour to attend a Japan Series SoftBank Hawks game at the PayPay Dome. Being from the USA, I was unable to personally purchase tickets and they sold pretty quickly. I negotiated with Tac to purchase tickets as well has have him guide me for the game. He was always very prompt with his communications. He not only acquired tickets for the both of us, he took the initiative to attend the pregame practice session! On my request he built a schedule that included the Oh Sadaharu Baseball Museum at the adjacent E-ZO Boss facility. He even helped me buy some over-the-counter sleep aids to help my jet lag. As for the game, he made sure I was comfortable throughout the game. Because it was a baseball game, he prepared a Player Stats and seating guide package for me! After the game, he guided me to the right train station in the dark after 10 pm. Even if I started out hiring a ticket broker and guide, I ended up attending the game with a friend. On the general side, he gave thoughtful commentary and answered my questions with clarity and confidence. His command of English is very good. Tac is very willing to please and does so! I will hire him again the next time I visit Fukuoka.

Thank you for your heartfelt message. The time we spent together was truly enjoyable for me. Through Claude, I was able to sense the vastness of America—a blend of sincerity, strength, and kindness—that I have not yet had the chance to visit myself. Looking back, there were several moments where I wish I could have done more as a guide, but I feel that this experience will help me become an even better one. I would be delighted to accompany you again next time. Thank you once again.
