Whether you’re into gadgets, temples or ramen, discover the essence of Fukuoka in just half a day on a private tour tailored to you by a local insider
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Feel the rush from Fukuoka’s unbridled energy (or maybe it’s from the caffeine in your flannel drip coffee at Cafe Bimi). From stately Tōchō-ji and its impressive great Buddha statue to 1200-year-old Kushida, see the temples and shrines that put the city on the map – and the sights you couldn’t even find on a map. Stroll serenely through a traditional Japanese garden, or explore the city’s up-and-coming otaku scene at Marble Choco, a store dedicated to impossibly intricate dollhouse furniture. At dusk, as reflected city lights turn Naka River a thousand shades of neon, you might sample street food from the yatai (mobile stalls) popping up along Nakasu Island, or grab a vending machine ticket and cash it in for “umami” personified: Fukuoka’s famous tonkotsu ramen.

Eli made the tour fun and personal giving multiple suggestions of her favorite places and showing us both the bright lights and hidden gems of Fukuoka. She made an in depth schedule and was able to change it on the fly depending on our interests. My wife and I laughed constantly throughout the tour with Eli which made the experience completely worth it. Felt like hanging with a friend.
Show moreEli was friendly and genuine. She showed us great spots so we got the flavor of Fukuoka. She tailored the itinerary very well to our tastes and abilities. She showed flexibility to make revisions as needed. We ate at a local fish market restaurant, ate delicious pastries, saw shrines and learned their history, learned about local customs and ceremonies and wandered through all sorts of shopping areas. Highly recommend this tour especially if your time is limited in Fukuoka.
