The best Fukuoka private tours & experiences with locals

Japan’s high-octane “startup city” by the sea is one of the coolest places in the country. You could whip out your GPS and guidebook and move between must-see attractions like shrines and skyscrapers – or you could do something a little different. Our tours with locals in Fukuoka recreate the experience of seeing a new city with a friend who calls it home, giving you not only the top attractions but also the places only locals know and love. Discover the city’s creative coffee culture (ever heard of the “flannel drip” method?), colorful festivals, and a street food scene that’s out of this world. And you’ll do it all with a brand-new friend on our tours with locals in Fukuoka.

Meet some of our Fukuoka local hosts

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

We’ve handpicked them and we’ll match you to your perfect one!

See Fukuoka with a friend

If you’ve done your research, you’ll know that Fukuoka is filled with incredible things to see and do on its well-trodden tourist trail. But on tours with locals in Fukuoka, you have a local guide to take the reins – and that means you’ll be seeing the city from a different perspective. Our Fukuoka tours with locals don’t stick to the main sights. Your host will give you the perfect mix of must-sees, secret local haunts, and landmarks that haven’t made it into your guidebook, like a shop selling intricate dollhouse furniture or a tranquil Japanese garden far away from the downtown crowds.

Tours tailored to you

In a city that’s equal parts traditional and futuristic, fast-paced and relaxed, every traveler’s ideal itinerary will look a little different. That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to our Fukuoka tours with locals – all our experiences are 100% personalized to the people who travel with us. Our local insiders will learn about your personality and passions to craft an experience with your name on it. On tours with locals in Fukuoka, we’ll give you exactly what you want, whether ancient architecture, stunning temples, neon-lit nightlife, or tasty Tonkotsu ramen!

A range of tours with locals

Do you want to move up and down the snaking street food stalls along Naka River, tasting charred chicken and rich ramen on food tours with locals in Fukuoka? Or would you prefer a night tour, jam-packed with drinking, dining, and dancing along the downtown area’s LED-screen-lined backstreets? It doesn’t matter what you want to see or do – our range of tours with locals in Fukuoka has something for absolutely everyone. Get a quick crash course in navigating the city, spend a full day exploring its most iconic sights, or get a feel for family-friendly Fukuoka – the choice is yours!

Latest reviews from our guests

We had an amazing tour guide (Carolina) in Fukuoka Japan. I highly recommend getting a guide to help enjoy the most of a vacation. Our guide was more knowledgeable and aware of things we would have NEVER experienced or found on our own.

Our recent visit during Golden Week would have been a challenge for any local guide, but not for Sumire! From the moment she greeted us at our cruise terminal with her infectious smile, we knew we were in trusting hands. Her preparation and planning was evident. She was attentive and accommodating to our special needs. Her local knowledge was impressive, the pride in her City was infectious! If you have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful city and Sumire is available to guide you, do not hesitate to spend the day with her. Bob and Dianne.

Diandra is a fun host. We spent the day at sites like the Fukuoka Mirror Sail Tower, Dazaifu Shrine and the giant reclined Buddha in Sasaguri. I also enjoyed a delicious bowl of tonkotsu ramen. Sasaguri was nice and quiet, unlike Dazaifu which was very busy, being one of Kyushu's most famous shrines. That being said, if you like shrines and temples you should visit both! Thanks for taking me around Fukuoka Diandra!
