Hello! I’m Yuko, a proud Fukuoka local born and raised in Chuo-ku. I’ve spent my life exploring this vibrant city, and I’m excited to share its charm with you. What I love most about Fukuoka is how it effortlessly blends urban convenience with natural beauty. From the bustling center with its fantastic shops, restaurants, and entertainment to the nearby beaches and mountains, everything is within easy reach. And let’s not forget the food—Fukuoka’s local dishes are not only delicious but also reasonably priced! In my free time, you’ll find me running through Ohori Park, enjoying its serene beauty right in the heart of the city, or gathering with friends at a cozy restaurant to eat, drink, and laugh. I’m also a big fan of art and culture, so I love visiting museums and discovering new spots around town. Whether it’s a hidden gem or a popular hotspot, I’m always eager to explore and share my discoveries. Let me show you the Fukuoka I know and love—it’ll be an adventure!
Unfortunately, just prior to our tour, we went to pick up our train tickets since our train was shortly after our walking tour was to end. We were unable to get them, even though I had my card and PIN number. Yuko spoke to the agent at the window AND an agent on the phone. She was so helpful. We got a late start, but ended up seeing a good bit of the area. Yuko was a great guide OUT of the train station also.
