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.

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 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.
