Hey there! I'm Shino, your go-to for all the wonders Fukuoka has to offer. There's something about this place, with its perfect blend of bustling city vibes and serene countryside, that just captivates me. And don't get me started on the food here—it's a culinary paradise that I swear by! My adventures often lead me to explore the latest exhibitions in museums, cozy up in quaint cafes, and indulge in the local dining scene that never ceases to amaze. I'm also your insider for the Kitakyushu area, where history meets modern charm, and the tranquil hot springs of Yufuin, a haven for relaxation. With a deep appreciation for Fukuoka's rich culture and history, I'm all about sharing the unique spots, from hidden coffee shops to vibrant bars and cafes, not to mention the incredible Japanese art scene. Let's dive into the heart of Fukuoka together, and I'll show you why this city's mix of tradition and modernity is truly unmatched.

My reviews

    Shino, our Fukuoka guide for the day was great! Even if short notice, she was able to make an itinerary that covered our interests. My son and I had an amazing time with her as she was very kind and friendly and had a vibrant personality. Plus she speaks English well! She also gladly made further recommendations on the rest of our Kyushu trip. Her passion and enthusiasm is highly commendable. Despite the rain, it was a wonderful tour with Shino. I highly recommend her as a guide.
