The best Fukuoka private tours & experiences with locals

Japan’s high-octane “startup city” by the sea is one of the coolest places in the country. You could whip out your GPS and guidebook and move between must-see attractions like shrines and skyscrapers – or you could do something a little different. Our tours with locals in Fukuoka recreate the experience of seeing a new city with a friend who calls it home, giving you not only the top attractions but also the places only locals know and love. Discover the city’s creative coffee culture (ever heard of the “flannel drip” method?), colorful festivals, and a street food scene that’s out of this world. And you’ll do it all with a brand-new friend on our tours with locals in Fukuoka.

Our Fukuoka tours with locals don’t stick to the main sights.

We took a 4 hour tour with Jocelyn and we had a lovely time. There was lots of walking, but we saw many interesting things from shrines, a water show at the downtown shopping area and lovely gardens. Jocelyn was in contact with me a few times in advance of our trip to plan according to our interests. This tour was among the best we have had. Having it taylored to us makes all the difference. Jocelyn was always concerned about our well-being. She spoke English perfectly and helped us travel on the bus and get us safely into a cab at the end of the tour. We had lunch at a local Ramen restaurant that was a Fukuoaka specialty and it was delicious! We could not have asked for a better guide and tour. Thank you Jocelyn!

Great tour to uncover hidden gems of Fuokoka starting with a rooftop city view at Hankyu Dept Store with a garden and zen atmosphere . City shrines , Full Full mentai baguette where ppl que in . A definite must try experience and best ramen for dinner I’ve had . Jocelyn was a great guide . Not your run of the mill city tour showing highlights of the city you would not normally see . Perfect for us becoz that was the kind of experience we were looking for . Got to see a red light district, trendy vintage shops in Tenjin aside from the malls at Hakata . If you are into hidden gems, this a a must try experience. Ask for a younger guide like Jocelyn .

Paolina Jacobi was the best, friendly, thoughtful preparation, knowledgeable, thorough. We covered a lot of sites yet didn’t rush. We also got the behind scenes tour! Our conversation was wonderful. Also, as one stating to learn Italian, Paolina, was able to help me translate between English and Italian. Paolina è stata la migliore!
