Self-introduction :

With over 10 years of experience (as of June 2025) as a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Japan, and more than 30 years as a professional art installer specializing in contemporary visual art—particularly installations—I bring a unique perspective to your journey. For example, I assisted a German technician in installing Mona Hatoum’s artwork + and – at the Fukuoka Art Museum in the year of 2024, autumn.
Holding a Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture from Kumamoto University, I guide and support visitors in discovering impressive sites ranging from public art and contemporary architecture to traditional and historical wooden buildings. Naturally, I can also guide you through Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, and introduce you to the rich local cuisine of any region you wish to explore.

Additionally, I offer private tours for small groups using my own car. Please note that I am not a taxi driver, but a certified professional guide who provides both transportation and in-depth commentary during your journey.
Come visit Fukuoka, located on Kyushu—the southwestern-most of Japan’s four main islands.
I promise you an experience you won’t forget.
