What you’ll do

Set your trip up for success with a three-hour crash course in Fukuoka, from navigating the transport systems to learning the distinct character of each district. You’ll be guided between crowded hubs and laid-back local haunts (with a quick pitstop for a flannel drip coffee at one of the many hipster cafes). See the ultra-modern, LED-lit stomping grounds of the city’s trendy twenty-something crowd, and get a taste of traditional Japan while jostling through Nagahamasengyo Market. Learn the inner workings of the subway system as you head to historical shopping district, Nishijin – and, if the time is right, grab a bite from one of Fukuoka’s famous yatai street food carts, or slurp down tonkotsu ramen in the city that invented it.

We had a three hour tour with family (children included) around Fukuoka. Our guide Luis was amazing - so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Luis enriched our experience and helped us plan the rest of our trip, we definitely had a much better understanding of the city and what it had to offer because of his expertise. A huge thanks Luis for an unforgettable Fukuoka adventure!
