Private Fukuoka Bar Hopping and Food Walking Tour

We started the experience with a stop at a local ramen shop, where they introduced us to a bowl of amazingly rich, flavorful ramen that was also surprisingly affordable. Giving us the option to try different noodle hardness, which is only available in Fukuoka. From there, they led us through some local drinking spots I never would’ve found on my own. In one of them, they showed us how to pair different side dishes with sake, explaining the flavors and local drinking customs. Along the way, I learned about nomihoudai (all-you-can-drink) culture in Japan, which added a whole new layer of understanding to the nightlife scene. By the end of the night, I felt like I’d experienced the real Fukuoka. If you’re visiting the city, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Takumi and Akio made it unforgettable.

I have participated in bar hopping tours around the world, but yesterday's bar hopping tour was the best experience of my life. Our guide, Mason, not only provided descriptions of Fukuoka but also facilitated interactions with locals as an interpreter, allowing us to deeply appreciate Japan's "omotenashi" (hospitality) culture. It was surprising that we could eat and drink at four different places for this price. If you're deciding where to go, it shouldn't be Tokyo, but here in Fukuoka.
