VIDEO CALL Bruce

Hey there! I'm Bruce, your warm-hearted local host here in the vibrant city of Fukuoka. What I absolutely love about Fukuoka is the incredible food scene. It's a paradise for foodies like me, with affordable and beautifully presented dishes that never compromise on flavor and quality. When I'm not busy exploring new places to eat and hang out, you'll find me pedaling my bicycle, fully immersing myself in the stunning natural landscapes that Fukuoka and its surrounding region have to offer. From hidden parks to nearby islands, I know the ins and outs of many neighborhoods, and I know the west side of Fukuoka City like the back of my hand. Get ready for unforgettable culinary experiences, epic nature escapades, and a whole lot of fun. Trust me; we're in for an incredible journey together!

My reviews

    We made a last-minute request for a food tour in Fukuoka in the evening and it was our good fortune that Bruce was available to take us for a tour the next afternoon. The tour was a great introduction to the food culture of the city. While the yatai tour is an evening experience, he was able to send us to one of his favourite yatai stalls where Mariko-san took care of us, introducing us to local seafood tempura.

    We had a wonderful day exploring Fukuoka. Bruce showed us places nearby to our hotel. We could ask questions and learn about history, culture. Bruce showed us good places to eat. After an authentic Japanese lunch we got on the train n visited a park. Walking through the hundreds of cherry blossom trees was like being in a fairytale…just magical. I will never forget my first day in Japan. A truely amazing experience.

    This was an excellent experience. I had the great honor of being guided by Bruce who has been living in Fukuoka for more than 20 years and has made a significant impact on the modern Yatai food scene. He was very professional and fun. He explained and showed me the true essence of Fukuoka which helped me further understand its local culture. I am a big history and culture person, so I had an absolutely stellar time. Highly recommend this tour and please ask for Bruce if you are interested in the Yatai!

    Bruce knows Fukuoka very well. We took a walk in Ohori Park and the ruins of a hilltop castle with a beautiful view. We had a lunch of mentaiko pasta together. I recommend that Bruce can be your guide in Fukuoka.
