My tours were born out of the idea of giving people the feeling of being connected with the destination in every facet of the tour. Whether it be from the on board commentary, insights into daily Japanese life, historical and important information of each attraction, cultural experiences, Japanese food and drink tastings as well as personal opinions and facts about what it is truly life to live as an expat in this weird and wonderful country we call Japan. It is my belief that only a private tour consisting of a small numbers of members can create this important connection that will stay with us for the rest of our lives! This tour can be customized and is available for pick ups at Airports, Hotels and Cruise Ship Terminals. Pick ups in Nagasaki will visit attractions within as well as neighboring Saga Prefecture. Likewise, pickups in Fukuoka will feature sites within and including neighboring Saga region. You will not be able to visit Fukuoka from Nagasaki and vice versa.

The city's comprehensive transportation network, including the Fukuoka City Subway, buses, and the Japan Rail Pass, makes getting around both convenient and efficient. For accommodations, options range from luxury hotels in the bustling Nakasu and Tenjin areas to traditional ryokans (Japanese inns) and budget-friendly hostels. Understanding and respecting local customs is key; remember to bow when greeting, remove your shoes before entering homes and certain traditional establishments, and manage your trash appropriately, as Fukuoka prides itself on cleanliness. Lastly, always carry cash as not all places accept credit cards, and take the time to savor the slow moments amidst the city's fast-paced rhythm.
