I was born and raised in Itoshima, the local seaside area of Fukuoka which is well-known for its beautiful nature. I have lived in Fukuoka city for 20 years, so I am familiar with both the city and the surrounding rural areas. My first job experience was in a restaurant and bar, which made me interested in foods and drinks. Since Fukuoka is a gastronomic city, I'd be happy to take you to my favourite local restaurants and bars. I have some travel industry experience and fun fact: I studied Chinese in Shanghai for 1 and a half years. I have traveled to more than 50 countries, so I have learnt to understand different cultures and I know how it feels to be a visitor in an unusual place. Fukuoka is my favourite city in Japan and I am really happy that many locals feel the way I do. I can't wait to show you why I love this incredible city.
