How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
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.

The tour was exactly what I hoped for in terms of getting a true feel for the city. Mark was also very accommodating for an impromptu request that caused changes in the plan. He likewise provided tips on places that we could visit on our own after our time with him.

Incredibly chill and informative afternoon walking around Fukuoka with Eli. She was very knowledgeable and certainly made us feel like we were touring with a local. She made some great recommendations and showed us more of Fukuoka than we would have known existed. Thanks Eli!!

I enjoyed Ms. Ai’s tour. She personally caters to your needs and she suggest to us properly on how you get to different stations and got good pictures from her too. She has good communication skills (English) so we don’t have any difficulty communicating with her. She has good PR since she speaks well. It’s nice to have her around. The next time we will tour fukuoka, we will avail her services
