Overview

#1 in Fukuoka! 【100% Satisfaction】 All tours rated 5 stars. Top-rated Fukuoka activity on TripAdvisor ※As of October 2024. See TripAdvisor for more. ・Struggling with Japanese? ・Worried about ordering food? →But I want more local experience! This tour is just what you need! Fukuoka, unlike Tokyo, retains deep traditional culture, especially in its izakayas (pubs), where locals drink and chat until dawn. And as Kyushu’s most modern city, Fukuoka gives you the best mix of nature and urban life, completely different from Tokyo or Osaka. But many local spots still don’t have English-speaking staff, so the more authentic the experience, the more you’ll need Japanese. That’s where we come in!!!! I’ll personally guide you to two top Fukuoka izakayas. ・Great food ・A friendly guide ・An authentic city experience Just bring cash! I’ll take care of everything, so you can relax and enjoy. We promise you the best local experience. See you soon in Fukuoka!

Itinerary

Tenjin

Tenjin is probably the busiest place in Fukuoka. This is because locals spend a lot of time in Hakata. There are many rip-off restaurants, but rest assured that our restaurant is safe. Here are some local izakaya where you can eat fresh fish and vegetable dishes and drink with peace of mind because you are a local. The first izakaya is a "fish" izakaya. Fish can be enjoyed in various ways such as "sashimi," "grilled fish," and "boiled fish. Japanese sashimi is fresh and very popular among Japanese people. Enjoy the taste of Japan. In addition to fish dishes, you can also enjoy a variety of alcoholic beverages. Sake is especially recommended. （Sake is an easy-to-drink alcoholic beverage that originated in Japan. It is a must drink when you come to Japan.) ※The order of Izakaya may change.

1 hour 30 minutes
Tenjin

After enjoying fish dishes, go to the second restaurant. The second restaurant is where you can enjoy "Yakitori" (grilled chicken). There are various kinds of yakitori. You can customize your yakitori to your own taste by choosing between salt and sauce flavors. You can enjoy yakitori and a wide variety of drinks at the same time, so please enjoy the taste of Fukuoka. ※The order of Izakaya may change.

1 hour 30 minutes

Misa was great! We all enjoyed her tour and she made us feel welcomed. Food and drinks were awesome too! We were able to try new foods and drinks that normally wouldn't try on our own.

Friendly with great recommendations

Good guide for places to eat recommend going early in your trip. It was nice having a local recommending and ordering great food.

Delicious food!

The food was delicious, and Manabu was an amazing tour guide. We visited two fantastic restaurants, and Manabu shared a wealth of historical information about Japan and its cuisine!

Fukuoka Izayaka Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

I had an amazing time with Misa during my izakaya tour. She was a great tour guide and excellent company. Misa ensured that I tried all the delicacies unique to Fukuoka izakayas and was able to explain all the small details about each dish we ordered as well as good drink pairings with them. We touched on a lot of cultural topics, regional history, and further sight seeing recommendations of Fukuoka during our meal so I left with a greater sense of understanding and appreciation for Fukuoka as a tourist destination. Misa also provided me with valuable follow up recommendations for other tourist attractions to see and restaurants to try for the remainder of my stay. I look forward to a future tour with Misa if I ever return to Fukuoka and would highly recommend anyone to book a tour with Misa. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!
