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!

Jessica has excellent knowledge of the area and tailored the tour to us perfectly! She showed us excellent sites in the Hakata area, two of which are listed as national treasures.

The canal ferry ride was fantastic! It was a recommendation from the guide, very good scenery. The guide knew a lot about the area, and we had a good time even while walking around!

Lovely way to see the city in the eyes of a local. We had a 4 hour walking tour and even though it was a very wet day, we enjoyed every moment. We say many sights, tried lots of different snacks and took it all the city had to offer. Our guide was very courteous, friendly and went out of her way to help us out with restaurants bookings and recommendation, even after our tour with her had ended. We enjoyed the most: Seeing sights which were off the beaten track. Having matcha in a tatami room after a visit to a quiet garden was by far the most memorable part of the walk.
