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.

Hakata Port Tower, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan All in all, I rather enjoyed this experience.

Suginoya Brewery, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan Suginoya Brewery is one of the most popular stops on our Fukuoka Day Tours. Why? It's all about the tradition of the Sake Brewing process, exploring the old but esthetically pleasing building as well as the tasting experience that gets everyone fully involved in the process.
The Brewery is over 140 years old and it shows but in a traditional and authentic way. No one wants to go to a brand new building that lacks character and history, it is for this reason that a huge majority of our customers have rated this attraction as their favorite one on the day.

Fruits Bus Stop, Isahaya, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan In the sleepy town of Konagai, Nagasaki Prefecture right on the border of Saga Prefecture there are some unique Nagasaki Bus Stops that will stop you in your tracks and make you say to yourself, "Why haven't I ever seen this before?"
As you drive from one bus stop to the next, you will wonder what fruit or vegetable will come next. In some ways, when you don't see your favorite one you wonder why it hasn't been included and of course when you have passed the last one and headed into the next prefecture you will also have a slight feeling of disappointment that you won't see another one again in Japan, period!

We had a half day tour around Fukuoka with Shannon. Shannon does his best to ensure that we got to see everything we wanted and made sure that we felt very comfortable during the trip! Highly recommend if you would like to enjoy Fukuoka fully!

We had an amazing time with Shannon in Karatsu. Our ship was delayed in arriving to Karatsu and Shannon was able to make changes on the fly. We saw beautiful floats, shrines and he even got us a private sake tasting with the owner of a great sake producer. Wonderful day! Shannon is an excellent guide! We also took a second tour with Shannon in Nagasaki
