Chizuko was a wonderful tour guide. She spent hours to customize our experience in Fukuoka. We had a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I 'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I hope you will visit Nanzo-in Temple, where you were unable to see the Reclining Buddha this year due to restoration. Chizuko

Response from Host, Sep 2024
Wow! I can't find the words to express my gratitude to you.
You two were always so gentle and smiling even though you weren't feeling well because of the heat wave.
Your talk was so interesting, and I really enjoyed it.
It was an honor to be with you, such celebrities.
Please come back to Fukuoka for fresh fish next time.
I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much.

What a wonderful experience we had with Chizuko, our excellent guide. From the beginning when she contacted me, she planned out an itinerary according to our wishes. She advised us to get the transit card for convenience and faster travel. She even helped us with booking dinner reservations and suggestions of a good omakase sushi restaurant.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed Fukuoka sightseeing tour planned for you. Yes, the traffic card app. is awsome!! I didn't realize it could be used even when the battry in your phone runs out.
I look forward to seeing you again in Fukuoka. Chizuko

Got to spend the day with Sasuke, who was very friendly, and gave us a great taste of the Fukuoka area. We loved getting to see several temples/shrines, and getting to explore around town. Thank you Sasuke for making our trip to Fukuoka a memorable one!
Response from Host, May 2024

Guide Shannon is very entertaining and good knowledge of the places we visited. Timing and arrangements of the whole trip is very well plan. We visited places we requested and timing is perfect. We don't feel rush. We are able to have time taking photo relax and shop.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very glad to hear that. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the market at the end of the itinerary. As it was a weekend, the destination was more crowded than expected.
Please come to Fukuoka again. Next time, I will introduce you to some .other delicious local food.

Our guide Peko met us at the port right off our ship. She was fabulous. We took a taxi to the main railway station and headed out to Nanzoin to see the reclining Buddha. Breathtaking. She was so knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. Next we headed back into town and we had lunch in the rooftop garden of the station which had fabulous views over the city. Next we took matcha tea and sweets at a small tea house in a beautiful garden. Then 2 temples one of which we went inside the Buddha and a short stop at the heritage museum. Then back to the ship on plenty of time. We would never have been able to see so much on our own and Peko’s knowledge and personality was the icing on the cake. Definitely recommend a tour with Peko. She was fabulous. Taxi fares and transport costs were not expensive.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Wow! I feel like I am in heaven.
Thank you for your heartwarming comments.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your kindness, generosity, the blessing of the Nirvana statue, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom that made our tour so enjoyable.
Oh yes, the motionless turtles too!
Summer festivals, fall foliage and winter hot springs are still waiting for you.
I look forward to seeing you and sharing a happy day with you again.
