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
Eight hours in a city as lively as Fukuoka doesn’t seem like much, but with a local insider (and the caffeine buzz from your extra-smooth flannel drip coffee), you’ll pack in more than you ever thought possible. From cheering on the float-races at the annual Yamakasa Festival – and praying for eternal youth at the Kushida Shrine well – to marveling at stately Tōchō-ji and its great Buddha statue, see the temples and shrines that put the city on the map. Maybe you’ll take the railway less traveled 30 minutes out to the sleepy seaside of Itoshima, or explore the city’s up-and-coming otaku scene in the backstreets of Tenjin. And when hunger strikes? You’re just a vending machine ticket away from a bowl of Fukuoka’s famous tonkotsu ramen.

Ai was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond in making a plan for our tour! I had hope this would be a personal heritage tour of my family history in Japan. Ai surprised us with contacting my mother's elementary school for a visit and searching the old files at City Hall to find my mother's childhood home! Incredible!! Then she took photos and sent us a link to the photo album she made of our day together!! When we return to Japan, I will definitely contact Ai and City Unscripted for a tour!
