Fukuoka Highlights Tour

Fukuoka Highlights Tour (6 hours)

 

If you make a cruise or a long trip to Japan, chances are that you will also visit the southern island of Kyushu. This island is rich in culture and natural beauty but is not yet discovered by mass tourism. If you come to Fukuoka (also called Hakata), why not make the most of it with a private tour? Check out our Fukuoka Highlights tour itinerary below!

The tour starts in Tenjin, a bustling shopping area. This area boasts a big underground shopping mall and most of the famous shops can be found around here. You will have a short look around there to learn more about the local products before you continue to a historical highlight of the Fukuoka region.

 

You will make your way ‘back in time’ to the much quieter town of Dazaifu, which is an intricate part of the city of Fukuoka with a long history. There are a number of temples and shrines here and we will visit the most important of them, the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. The street leading up to the shrine is lined with shops selling souvenirs, local delicacies like umegaemochi, and restaurants that are perfect for a local lunch.

 

We will then return to the Tenjin area to take a walk past some interesting architectural highlights of Fukuoka. From one of these buildings, you can enjoy a perfect view over a part of the city. Strolling along the river and through an old part of town, you will make your way to Hakata, which is the modern station area of Fukuoka, from where you will be brought back to the port or to the train to your next destination by the guide.

CUSTOMERS’ VOICE

Jan Wagemaker

“The individual journey we made was well prepared by Tokiotours. The few problems we experienced during our 3.5 week trip were neatly resolved. Stefanie and Steven, the guides we experienced in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively, did their job in an exceptionally good way. A great memory.”

Peter Carroll

“My wife and I headed to Tokyo earlier this year and booked 3 first class tours with this company. All excellent, very informative and gave us a unique behind the curtain insight into a culture that was completely foreign to me. I would 100% recommend Tokiotours for anyone looking to get the most out of their time in Tokyo. Great fun!”

We look back on a very successful trip through Japan! Also thanks to your efforts it has been an unforgettable trip. Z. loved the morning in Harajuku with cotton candy, photo booth and VR experience. I liked the bike tour and especially the bamboo forest in Kamakura -> the bamboo forest in Kyoto was disappointing compared to that one… but Kyoto has very beautiful old places and Floris’ help for the reservation at Misono was fantastic.

I am a first-time visitor to Japan and travelled by myself so I booked one-on-one guiding tours. Had a wonderful time with all three guides from Tokiotours – Thom, Stefanie and Haruka. Thom is an encyclopedia on history, culture and religious practices and also a very nice guy, Stefanie with a gift of bringing Japanese history alive and making it very memorable and Haruka with her love of Japanese cuisine thanks to whom I enjoyed the very best and freshest sea-urchins on Tokyo Tsukiji market ever. Thank you to all of you!
