I’ve lived in Fukuoka for 3 years

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.
Mike chose sights off the beaten path and gave us a very interesting look into Fukuokan culture.
December 2024
Mike is pleasant and knows a lot about Hakata. He showed us around sites that are interesting and was able to cover also the historical and cultural aspects of the different places and traditions.
December 2024
Mike was very personable. Even though it rained Mike continued to make sure we had a wonderful experience.
October 2024
Mike was a sensational guide and did whatever we suggested taking us up the Tower for a view of the City then on to the old and new parts of the city, explaining and showing in detail how the Old Town is transformed during Yamakasa festival then showing the new Acros "green building" in modern town as well as the fascinating Engineer Cafe. It was easy to communicate with Mike as he had a USA and Japanese background. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide and more as he has such extensive knowledge of Japan
