Fukuoka Private & Personalized Introductory Tour with a Local
Unfortunately, just prior to our tour, we went to pick up our train tickets since our train was shortly after our walking tour was to end. We were unable to get them, even though I had my card and PIN number. Yuko spoke to the agent at the window AND an agent on the phone. She was so helpful. We got a late start, but ended up seeing a good bit of the area. Yuko was a great guide OUT of the train station also.

Had a WONDERFUL time with Ryota doing a private tour! So easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Started the day at the port. Highly recommend going up the Kōbe port tower for amazing views. Then on to china town for some shopping and food and to wrap it up, he took us to a BEAUTIFUL Japanese zen garden which was especially amazing since the leaves were changing. Thanks Ryota!
