.Welcome to Japan ! I am Miyoko, a Japanese National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter, and I love meeting people from all over the world. Born in Yamaguchi, I used to live in Hong Kong for 6 years, and now live in Fukuoka city. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a purser in First-Class cabins on international flights. Thanks to that experience, I learned how to take care of guests and make their time special — something I now bring to my tours as well. I enjoy traveling, watching movies and sports (baseball, football, and sumo are my favorites!), 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. I mainly guide in Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Arita/Imari, Beppu, Yufuin, Takachiho, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, and Yamaguchi. Whether you'd like to explore history, enjoy nature, or simply relax with delicious food, I'll make sure your trip is comfortable, fun, and memorable. I look forward to meeting you and sharing wonderful experiences together!

Discover Japan's production center of porcelain with a Licensed Guide
Overview of your Fukuoka tour
If you are interested in traditional Japan's artistry, this is an ideal tour. Let's discover Saga Prefecture's Okawachiyama Village (Imari) and Arita Town, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain with a knowledgeable guide. We will take a day trip from Fukuoka by a comfortable chartered car. The towns are located about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Fukuoka. 1. Okawachiyama: Known as the "Village of Secret Kilns" in a valley surrounded by mountains. During the Edo period, it was an official kiln of the Saga Domain, producing high quality pottery for the Imperial Court, the Shogunate and various lords. 2. Arita: Asia's greatest porcelain town with a history of over 400 years. Arita/Imari ware were exported to Europe and fascinated European nobles. With a chartered car, you can effectively visit the towns with fewer transportation options. Having lived in neighboring Fukuoka, I'm familiar with Arita ware. Let me show you around picturesque spots and kilns to make your day memorable.
