Hi there! I'm Yoshie, and Fukuoka is my heartland. Born and raised in this incredible region, I've got a deep connection to every corner of this amazing prefecture. I absolutely love how Fukuoka perfectly balances urban energy with natural beauty – it's like having the best of both worlds right at my doorstep. As a true local, I'm passionate about uncovering the city's hidden gems. Whether it's a tucked-away café in a quiet alley or a breathtaking hiking trail in the surrounding countryside, I live to explore. My favorite days are spent discovering new spots in areas like Tenjin and Hakata, or escaping to the serene landscapes of Itoshima for some outdoor adventures like SUP or hiking. Growing up in the Chikugo area, specifically Asakura, gave me an intimate knowledge of the region that goes way beyond typical tourist routes. I know the local spots that most visitors never see – those special places where you can truly escape the hustle and feel the authentic pulse of Fukuoka. From incredible local restaurants serving the freshest seafood to secret relaxation spots, I'm your go-to guide for experiencing the real heart of this incredible city. Fukuoka isn't just a place for me – it's home, with all its warmth, delicious food, and laid-back charm. Can't wait to share it with you!
