What you’ll do

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.

    We went to Asakusa to take in the culture, buy souvenirs etc, then headed to Shibuya for the crossing, hedgehog cafe and shopping. My 9yo son had the best time ever! Our tour guide Mami Oki was excellent!

    Deep insight & understanding of a smaller but still vibrant town. Our guide, Silva was extremely knowledgeable of the area & will take you behind the scenes of many interesting places with an explanation that is effectively understood & allows you an appreciation from a local perspective.
