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

    Had a lot of fun walking around. Saw the park and some good food. And then we went to an island which was super not a tourist destination and it was great. I’d never have known to go there on my own. We got Bikes and rode around this really small town there. Wouldn’t have gotten to do that any other way

    I would consider myself fairly well traveled. When I visit places, I often find it much more interesting when I venture off the mainline but still not missing out the main attractions. With Bruce, I feltIi just met up with a good old friend who wants to take me around to his local favorite eats, walking thru narrow alleyways where get to see some interesting tiny local neighborhood. Randomly picking up refreshments and just converse while feeling the vibe around you. He’s not a guide but is like a friend who is eager to show you around his turf.

    Spontaneity and off the main line. Secluded tiny restaurant that had excellent local food. Remote alleyways and narrow neighborhood streets thru parking structures. This is what we love about it. Just wandering and experiencing it as if we were locals and we get to see the lovely main attraction in the process.

    Fantastic tour by Bruce! I enjoyed walking around Fukuoka and taking in the sites. He took me to an amazing Tonkatsu Restaurant and I’m already drooling for more! The Fukuoka tower was another highlight of the tour with great views of the city. Highly recommend!
