From a historic castle, beautiful temples and seaside parks, you’ll see Fukuoka's unmissable sites
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
To see each one of Fukuoka’s attractions, you’d need weeks! But with your local insider leading the way, you can go on a whirlwind experience of the city’s most iconic central districts in just eight hours. Travel through time, from ancient temples and shrines, like Tōchō-ji and Kushida, to ultra-modern streets around Naka River, where you’ll join stylish locals sipping flannel drip coffee (a Japanese specialty) at hipster Cafe Bimi. See pretty, plum tree-flanked Tenman-gū Shrine in Dazaifu, where university students pray for good results (or join students in celebrating their results at a no-frills tachinomiya standing bar). Hungry? You don’t want to miss out on Fukuoka’s rich tonkotsu ramen – and your host knows the best place to get it.

I'll keep it short and simple. This was a very good experience. The guide was helpful and knowledgable. He had good communication skills and I would book with this company again.

Show moreEli was awesome. She helped us understand Japanese culture and practices and let us enjoy the day at our pace and in the manner in which we wanted. She also helped us find good vegetarian food
Show moreEli 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 moreWe 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.
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.
