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.

Overview of your Fukuoka tour
Is this your first visit to Fukuoka? If yes, this tour is perfect for you. We take a train to 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'. 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. Why don't we visit one of these old temples, Kushida shrine? *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 is 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).
