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!

Welcome to Fukuoka !! You can explore Fukuoka by a comfortable private car. Fukuoka is the largest city in southern Japan, known as one of Japan's major transport hubs. The city is also highly regarded for its food culture, which was awarded by Lonely Planet and The New York Times. In this 7-hour private tour, you will visit some must-see places with a cheerful and knowledgeable government licensed guide, such as historical landmarks, beautiful parks, castle ruins, and famous ancient shrines. Plus, you can enjoy local food, such as ramen noodle, grilled chicken, fresh seafood. I've spent nearly half of my life in Fukuoka, and know many spots and attractions where local people visit. With me, you will enjoy experiencing Fukuoka like locals. *I am happy to customize this tour according to your requests.
Miyoko was knowledgeable, warm, and attentive throughout our 4-day tour. There was smooth communication between us from the time of booking. She was also very accommodating to our last minute requests and changes. She even helped us with making necessary arrangement for the rest of our holiday in Japan. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Fukuoka and other places, with many experiences and memories.
We had another amazing day in Fukuoka and other cities, thanks to our guide Miyoko. She was also very flexible in accommodating our interests throughout the tour and suggested many things she thought we would enjoy. Highly recommend.
Miyoko was knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. She listened to our preferences and made sure that things went well during the tour. She took us to the best stores to buy items we needed and arranged for everyone in the group to sit close together whenever reserving seats.
We had a wonderful experience in Fukyoka with our guide Miyoko. She took us to the beautiful sights in Fukuoka at the perfect timing, such as Fukuoka Tower and nearby beach with an amazing sunset view. She also gave us useful suggestions on exploring the city and other placces. Thank you, Miyoko
