Hi, I’m Nozomi, and I’m excited to show you the best of Fukuoka! What I love most about this city is how close everything is—whether it’s the mountains, beaches, cultural spots, or vibrant bars and restaurants, it’s all so easy to explore in one go. Fukuoka has a rich history, and while the city has a lively, modern vibe, you can still feel its authentic roots. I’m always on the hunt for great food, and I know all the best local spots. I also love visiting the suburbs like Itoshima and Dazaifu, where there’s a variety of activities, from relaxing in an onsen to hiking or beach trips. Having grown up here, I know both the city and rural areas inside out, and I can’t wait to share Fukuoka’s hidden gems with you!
