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

The trip was completely customisable and Eli (our guide) was amazing. She put together all the things that we wanted to do while explaining the Japanese culture and art forms. It was an enriching afternoon and we enjoyed visiting temples, shrines, besides trying our hand at doll making. We also found an amazing vegetarian place to have lunch. Thank you Eli for the great experience

Eli was awesome. She helped us understand Japanese culture and practices and let us enjoy the day at our pace and in the manner in which we wanted. She also helped us find good vegetarian food

Eli made the tour fun and personal giving multiple suggestions of her favorite places and showing us both the bright lights and hidden gems of Fukuoka. She made an in depth schedule and was able to change it on the fly depending on our interests. My wife and I laughed constantly throughout the tour with Eli which made the experience completely worth it. Felt like hanging with a friend.
