What you’ll do

Make the most of the time you have in Fukuoka when your ship docks with a local insider to show you a full snapshot of their city - no matter how flying your visit. From exploring the city’s up-and-coming otaku scene at Marble Choco – a store dedicated to impossibly intricate dollhouse furniture – to sipping an extra-smooth flannel drip coffee in the Daimyo neighborhood, a caffeinated hub of trendy twentysomethings, urban culture, and hipster cafes. You could stave off your hunger pangs in restaurant-lined Ropponmatsu, where you’ll have your pick of intimate izakaya and famous tonkotsu ramen joints – slurp a sit-down meal, or grab a vending machine ticket to cash in for a quick noodle fix. At dusk, cross neon-reflected Naka River onto Nakasu Island, where yatai mobile food stalls come out with the stars, and locals feast on yakitori skewers and draft beer.
