A tour not forgotten - We were a little unsure at first when booking this private tour but the communication line certainly opened up. We were met at our pickup point by a very well spoken young man whose narrative gave a wonderful overview on what we were seeing. Yutaro took us on an adventure which fascinated both mind and spirit delving on his own personal journeys in Japan. This was walking tour but included local bus and trains which added to the experience. We would definitely recommend Yutaro and his tours . Yes we would book again .

He shared his deep knowledge of history, culture, and even modern trends with such enthusiasm that made the experience both educational and fun. Plus, he took many great photos of all of us with his camera! I would highly recommend his tour to everyone!

Amazing tour with knowledgeable guide - We had an incredible tour in Fukuoka with Yu as my guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, history, and culture. He answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and patience. Yu also had a great eye for photography and took some fantastic pictures of us. The edited photos we received later were even better, capturing the beauty of Fukuoka perfectly. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and friendly guide for your Fukuoka tour, I highly recommend Yu.

Awesome! - Yu was awesome! The tour was booked at very short notice. He was very flexible, very pleasant and very knowledgeable. Even offered to plan future visits in other Japanese cities whenever we come back. We had an awesome time learning about the Japanese culture and exploring Fukuoka.

Fantastic Fukuoka tour - The tour was quite nice and informative. The Japanese garden in Ohori Park is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Tochoji temple has the impressive largest seated wooden Buddha in Japan. Visiting inside the temple was quite memorable. My tour guide, Yu, was very down to earth and knowledgeable about the locations we visited. His English was pretty good. He also gave me many recommendations for restaurants in the neighborhood and also in the places that I potentially will visit. Overall, I recommend the tour to anyone who is new to Fukuoka city.

Interesting morning with Yu in Fukuoka - Yu was a delightful tour guide and as a local who has lived overseas and has interests in other tourism and business ventures, is an excellent communicator. We learned a lot and experienced a good cross-section of life & culture in Fukuoka. My only issue is the use of photos without seeking permission from us as paying customers. It was lovely that Yu took photos for us that he provided after the tour and they were predominantly very nice however, a couple that he took were less than flattering & have been used across promotional material on social media without any advice received re this. Therefore, I rated 4 and not 5 stars.
