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.

Mike was a very knowledgeable and welcoming host for our tour, even giving us recommendations for further on in our trip. We weren’t hurried along and he took the time to answer our questions in detail. 10/10!!

We had a cruise port stop in Fukuoka and we hired Chris to show us around town for a few hours. He met us at the port and took us to Five different destinations we wanted to see. He will customize base on timeline and your desired wish list. We even got to pop into a 7-Eleven very quickly so we could try one of their Eggie sandwiches. :) Chris teaches English at the local university so it was nice to be able to communicate so clearly We were done on time and he assisted us with the directions back to the ship, definitely better than a ship tour!
