Tour guide in Fukuoka Miyoko T.

Welcome to Japan! I am Miyoko, a Japanese National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter based in Fukuoka, and I love meeting people from all over the world. Born in Yamaguchi, I lived in Hong Kong for six years and now live in Fukuoka City. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a First-Class Purser on international flights and was once voted the airline’s best First-Class Purser of the year by passengers. I now bring the same level of care and attention I provided to First-Class passengers to my tours, anticipating my guests’ needs and making their time in Japan special. Today, I guide private tours, cruise guests, and multi-day tours in various parts of Japan. I especially enjoy bringing Japanese history and local culture to life through interesting stories, while keeping my tours relaxed, flexible, and comfortable. I mainly guide in Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Arita/Imari, Beppu, Yufuin, Takachiho, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi. I enjoy traveling, watching movies and sports — especially baseball, football, and sumo — taking photos of planes, night views, and flowers, and dining out. Because of this, I can introduce you not only to famous landmarks but also to local restaurants and hidden gems. Whether you'd like to explore history and culture, enjoy beautiful scenery and local food, or simply have a relaxing day discovering Japan, I'll do my best to make your tour comfortable, fun, and memorable. I look forward to meeting you and sharing some of my favorite places in Japan!
