Let a local lead the way

On walking tours in Fukuoka, there’s almost too much to see. Between the street food stands snaking along Naka River, central Ōhori park, and the bustling downtown district lined by bars, restaurants, and Tonkotsu ramen joints, you could spend a week on Fukuoka walking tours and not even scratch the surface. But if there’s one thing our local insiders know, it’s their hometown, and they’ll lead you on walking tours of Fukuoka that give you the perfect mix of must-sees, local haunts, and the landmarks your guidebook doesn’t even know about. Are you ready to experience the real Fukuoka?

Get off the beaten track

Everyone knows that central Fukuoka’s streets are abuzz with attractions and activity, but taking the road a little less traveled on your private walking tours in Fukuoka creates an entirely unique perspective on the city. After all, only a local can reveal secrets like flannel drip coffee (a local specialty) and traditional shop-lined streets on Fukuoka walking tours. Walking tours in Fukuoka with us show you places you never dreamed you’d see, from a shop dedicated to impossibly intricate dollhouse furniture to a tranquil Japanese garden far away from the downtown crowds.

Fukuoka food tours

One of Japan’s most iconic dishes is “umami” personified – rich, silky Tonkotsu ramen – and Fukuoka happens to be its birthplace. Walking ramen tours in Fukuoka reveal this famous meal in all its forms, from bottomless noodles at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant to ramen tickets from a vending machine! But that’s not the only food worth trying on walking food tours in Fukuoka. This food-obsessed city is famous for its yatai street food stands on Nakasu Island, where you can fuel your Fukuoka walking tours with chargrilled chicken Yakitori skewers and sesame-marinated mackerel.

Eli was a great guide, knowledgeable and organized. We walk slowly, and she didn't try to hurry us. Because of our pace, we didn't get to see everything on the list, but we saw what was important to us. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour with Eli.

Yutaro is an enthusiastic young man, who loves his Japanese culture. We had a great time together and saw many interesting sights. I especially enjoyed the ramen soup noodle restaurant he took me to. I would love to see anywhere in Japan with Yutaro!
