A day your way

On private day tours in Fukuoka, there’s no doubt that every traveler’s ideal itinerary will look a little different. After all, the city has an effortless blend of Kyoto’s culture and Tokyo’s big-city energy, so there’s something for everyone. Perhaps in your opinion, the best private tours in Fukuoka should be an exploration of opulent temples, preserved tradition, and tiny tonkotsu ramen restaurants. Or, maybe you want an experience of neon-lit nightlife and quirky coffee culture. Whatever your style, walking tours in Fukuoka with City Unscripted are 100% personalized to suit you.

Live it up like a local

With too many iconic attractions to possibly keep track of, from scenic Ohori Park to stunning shrines, Fukuoka has no shortage of sights along its well-trodden tourist trail. But when you have a local guide to take the reins on private Fukuoka tours, your experience is bound to be something out of the ordinary. Our Fukuoka private tours don’t only take you to the top attractions – they lead you off the beaten track. Famous cafés serving flannel drip coffee (a local specialty) and the best street food stalls in the city are just a few places you can look forward to exploring.

Fueled by ramen

Are Fukuoka private tours making you hungry? You’re in the right place. If there’s one thing Fukuoka is most famous for, it’s the city’s inimitable food scene. Loved across Japan, Fukuoka’s specialties are a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach – but none is more iconic than silky, creamy, umami Tonkotsu ramen. Private ramen tours in Fukuoka are the perfect way to find the best of the best. Our local guides can show you this famous meal in all its forms, from bottomless bowls of fresh noodles at a 10-seater ramen joint to restaurants with ramen tickets inside a vending machine!

Latest reviews from our guests

You can find yourself saying WTF anywhere in Japan, but here the airport code is FUK so fun just writes itself. When I saw that my guide had lived in Fukuoka for 30 years and still retained a NYC flourish, WTF crossed my mind. Luis is fluent in English, Spanish and Japanese and is deeply woven into the community. I asked for a day of worthwhile places that I might miss and planning for the next few days. We did just that and enjoyed the city from sea and land while I learned about Fukuoka and how Luis ended up choosing to live here. During our walks we ran into folks that recognized Luis and said hello to us in all three of his languages! I followed many of Luis recommendations and came away feeling that he understood exactly the types of experiences I was seeking. If you are good he will get you a Brooklyn Burger if you are missing the taste of home. And like any New Yorker he knows where the good and bad are located so get yourself situated with a typical or different city intro. I can’t recommend Luis enough.

Miyuki was AMAZING. We are so fortunate to meet her. We have very specific instructions and requests for the tour and she went above and beyond to surpass our own desires. Mickey made our Fukuoka visit so special and took us to the exact locations in Itoshima where our ancestors are from. Mickey spent an extra 90 minutes showing us around Tenjin on her own time and we felt like close friends by end of tour. Thank you Miyuki!
