Hi, I'm Kaori, a National government licensed tour guide. I got a license in 2015. I currently live in Kitakyushu City with my husband and two daughters, and am very familiar with the tourism industry because I used to be a tour escort taking Japanese tourists around the world and Japan for 10 years. Not only in Kitakyushu city, but I can also guide people in many places in Fukuoka and surrounding areas in Kyushu and the mainland. I love to guide and customize tours with hospitality. Plus, I have lived in Gold Coast, Australia, and in Vancouver, Canada, working as a tour guide for Japanese tourists. I love traveling with my family and meeting new people from different cultures, just like you! And I love food (too much). I look forward to seeing you soon! Thank you. Check my TBL blog about Fukuoka below: https://www.toursbylocals.com/blog/best-things-to-do-fukuoka-japan *National licensed tour guide (English) *Licensed General Travel Service Supervisor *Licensed Tour Conductor * I do NOT guide for rental car users. *The maximum number is 8 if you hire a van, or 6 with public transportation. *I am not a travel agent. I do NOT sell a tour including admission, vehicle etc due to Travel Agency Act of Japan.

Overview of your Fukuoka tour

Is this your first visit to Fukuoka? If yes, this tour is perfect for you. Hakata area had been a gate of Japan since ancient times and there are many old temples and shrines which founded more than 1000 years ago. Walk around old temple & Shrine areas to feel the history of Hakata. After lunch, we take a train to the historical shrine, Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine. It is dedicated to the god of education, Michizane who was a politician and scholar in the 9th century. After visiting the main hall, you can enjoy window shopping and local sweets 'Umegae mochi'. *Note: From March 2023, it will take about three years to renovate the main hall at Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine. In the meantime, we'll visit the temporary hall which was designed by a Japan's famous architect Fujimoto Sosuke. *You can pay Nishitetsu train ticket with a contactless credit card (Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club).
