Hi there! I'm Sumire, your friendly local host in the amazing city of Fukuoka. I'm so grateful to call this city my home, and I love sharing its unique charm with visitors. Fukuoka is truly special, being the entrance of Asia and with its convenient location near the international airport, it's easy to access from the downtown area. Plus, the city is a perfect blend of historical buildings and modern city life, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. In my free time, I enjoy watching local theatre plays, exploring the delicious food scene, and discovering hidden gems around the city. I'm an expert when it comes to the streets and historic places in both Hakata and Tenjin, and I love showing visitors around these areas to showcase the charm of this fantastic city. I would love to take you on a tour and show you why I'm so passionate about Fukuoka. With its unique blend of history, modernity, and nature, you're sure to fall in love with this city just like I have. Let's go explore!
