Fukuoka No. 1 guide

Morry San is an exceptional tour guide, knowledgeable, witty, and meticulous in every detail. His warm-hearted nature made the travel experience truly enjoyable, offering rich insights into Fukuoka's history and culture. Highly recommended without hesitation!!

Masatoshi M.

Sungwon San Thank you for choosing me to be your English guide this time. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Fukuoka. Now you already know the difference between Hakata and Fukuoka, the meaning of the samurai's topknot, the meaning of the tower on top of the five-story pagoda, the difference between portraits of warriors facing right and left, and the etiquette for visiting shrines. Please come to Fukuoka, Japan again. I look forward to seeing you again. And now Arigatou gozaimasu.

Professional, Friendly & Well presented! No worries when you go with Morry!!

One of a kind top class service by an experienced local tour guide! Very professional in taking care of us. Kids and adults were entertained by his wonderful magic tricks! Most importantly we had a "mission" to complete and Morry was able to transport us safely to our destination. We've learned a lot from this trip, well prepared and educational! I would not hesitate to book Morry! Definitely a national treasure of a tour guide! Hopefully we'll meet again! No worries when you go with Morry!

Jack-San I was very happy to go to Yamaguchi with you and guide you today. It was a miracle that it didn't rain even though the weather forecast said 100% rain. I felt something special at the Shrien. And thank you for your great feedback. I will contact you when I return to Gold Coast. I hope you have a safe and comfortable flight home. Morry
