• 5Amazing tour with a great tour guide and great driver!

  It is a very very great tour, with a very lovely, cheerful, friendly and professional tour guide - Wacky-san, as well as the driver! :) Wacky-san introduced a lot of historical background of the place and introduced us the great food in Fukuoka. It made my trip to Fukuoka even better as i’ve got to eat yummy eel rice, join the boat trip, visit the factory of green tea and join the craft workshop, both myself and my family enjoyed these activities.

• 5A memorable day of Yame tea, crafts and boat trip.

  Wonderful tour with everything nicely arranged. The guide Ms Kaneko is great and helpful and has given a lot of useful and interesting information, as well as some fascinating personal experiences. The driver has done a great job bringing us around safely and on schedule, amidst the few congestions we went through. She was super nice and polite too. Thanks for everything. ( ^___^ )

About Fukuoka

Fukuoka, on the north coast of Kyushu, is a relaxed port city of temples, riverside food stalls and ramen, facing Korea across the sea.

Fukuoka is the biggest city on Kyushu, formed from two old towns, the merchant port of Hakata and the castle town of Fukuoka, on either side of the Naka River. Hakata keeps temples such as Tochoji, with a large wooden seated Buddha, and Shofukuji, said to be Japan's first Zen temple, founded in 1195. The ruins of Fukuoka Castle lie beside Ohori Park, with its large lake and walkways.

Top-ranked sights in Fukuoka: Ohori Park, Kushida Shrine, Dazaifu Tenmangu.
