Hey there! I'm Mike, your friendly neighborhood host here in Fukuoka. Whether it's wandering through the compact city or venturing out to the countryside for some unforgettable adventures, I'm always up for the journey. From Hakata to Tenjin, Dazaifu to Kurume, I know these neighborhoods like the back of my hand. You'll often find me exploring historical museums, ancient temples, and samurai residences, eager to uncover the secrets of Japan's past. And if you're curious about sumo wrestling, well, I've got you covered. I'm well-versed in the sport's history and culture. Need tips for the best spots to hike? I know all the best routes, whether it's a casual 5-kilometer walk or a more adventurous trek through Dazaifu and Sasaguri. So, if you're ready to explore Fukuoka's wonders, I've got you covered! Let's make some memories together.

My personalized tour with Mike was filled with exciting stories about Fukuoka’s history and culture. Halfway through the tour, I felt like I was exploring a new town with an old friend. I was comfortable with Mike from the moment I met him. I’ll never forget that day. Thank you!

A true cultural zeitgeist! Mike is a natural storyteller. He taps into his deep understanding of linguistics, history and sociology to convey an authentic understanding of Fukuoka and Hakata from 150 years ago to today where it currently stands. On top of his knowledge and engagement, Mike knows the best local places to eat and can point you the right place at his fingertips. Surely the best English-speaking local guide you can find in the prefecture!
