Hey there, I'm Mark, your local host in Fukuoka! What I adore most about Fukuoka? It's the beautiful balance of yin and yang. You can go from the bustling streets of Tenjin or Hakata to a serene 18th-century Buddhist temple in Gion in just minutes. And, of course, Fukuoka's eateries are a world unto themselves. From a secret Italian gem to that cozy Thai place, I'm your go-to guy. When I'm out and about, I'm a dedicated window shopper, and menu reader. Fukuoka's culinary scene is my playground, and I'm thrilled to share my favorite haunts. As for navigating the city, you could say I'm a bit of an expert. I know Akasaka, Tenjin, Kushida Shrine, and Canal City like the back of my hand. My goal is to ensure your Fukuoka experience is seamless, enjoyable, and stress-free. So, let's embark on this adventure together – you'll see Fukuoka through my eyes!
Our tour guide, is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He showed and brought us to places that you don’t usually find them in other guide books. Highly recommend his service.

After a successful tour in Nagasaki, I decided to try again in Fukuoka — a great decision! Mark is a long time resident and he walked me around Fukuoka with such enthusiasm and dedication that I am now in love with this beautiful and rich city. But there is more to this tour than getting to see a city, there’s spending the day exchanging ideas and stories about life and art and history with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thank you very much Mark for a wonderful day in Fukuoka!
