Let a local lead the way

On walking tours in Fukuoka, there’s almost too much to see. Between the street food stands snaking along Naka River, central Ōhori park, and the bustling downtown district lined by bars, restaurants, and Tonkotsu ramen joints, you could spend a week on Fukuoka walking tours and not even scratch the surface. But if there’s one thing our local insiders know, it’s their hometown, and they’ll lead you on walking tours of Fukuoka that give you the perfect mix of must-sees, local haunts, and the landmarks your guidebook doesn’t even know about. Are you ready to experience the real Fukuoka?

Get off the beaten track

Everyone knows that central Fukuoka’s streets are abuzz with attractions and activity, but taking the road a little less traveled on your private walking tours in Fukuoka creates an entirely unique perspective on the city. After all, only a local can reveal secrets like flannel drip coffee (a local specialty) and traditional shop-lined streets on Fukuoka walking tours. Walking tours in Fukuoka with us show you places you never dreamed you’d see, from a shop dedicated to impossibly intricate dollhouse furniture to a tranquil Japanese garden far away from the downtown crowds.

Fukuoka food tours

One of Japan’s most iconic dishes is “umami” personified – rich, silky Tonkotsu ramen – and Fukuoka happens to be its birthplace. Walking ramen tours in Fukuoka reveal this famous meal in all its forms, from bottomless noodles at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant to ramen tickets from a vending machine! But that’s not the only food worth trying on walking food tours in Fukuoka. This food-obsessed city is famous for its yatai street food stands on Nakasu Island, where you can fuel your Fukuoka walking tours with chargrilled chicken Yakitori skewers and sesame-marinated mackerel.

Yu was great and showed me restaurants that I never would've known about without him. I'm going back to two of them everyday for the rest of the holiday now. Yu was great to talk to and hang out with. Had a fantastic time

It was really nice getting to know her as an individual & we had good conversation over the course of the 3 hours we spent together. She was really genuine & sincere in getting to know me & sharing her recommendations around the city.
