  • Discover Hakata’s Hidden Nightlife with a Local Guide Skip the tourist spots and dive deep into the real Hakata. Your local Fukuoka guide will take you to authentic izakayas (Japanese pubs) that visitors can’t find on their own — places with no English menus, where locals gather, laugh, and share sake after work. Enjoy fresh seafood, Hakata’s famous robata-yaki (charcoal-grilled dishes), and premium Japanese sake while soaking in the lively atmosphere that defines Fukuoka’s nightlife. You’ll witness chefs grilling over open flames, hear the laughter of locals, and feel the warmth of true Japanese hospitality. Even if you don’t speak Japanese, your guide will help you connect and feel at home in this hidden world. This is not a staged show — it’s a genuine, unscripted experience that reveals the soul of Hakata. Join us for a night of food, drinks, and connection — an unforgettable evening that only locals can show you.
  • Experience the Real Fukuoka — Eat, Drink, and Connect at Tenjin’s Hidden Yatai Skip the touristy Nakasu stalls and discover where locals truly gather. Your friendly local guide will take you to Tenjin’s hidden yatai, small open-air food stalls loved by Fukuoka residents. Here, you’ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with locals, taste authentic Hakata dishes, and feel the real heartbeat of the city. Enjoy rich tonkotsu ramen, juicy yakitori, and heartwarming oden, along with creative dishes unique to each stall. Every yatai has its own flavor, stories, and regulars who love to chat over drinks and laughter. Your guide will help you order, translate, and connect — making it easy to join conversations and experience local hospitality that goes beyond words. This is not just dinner; it’s a cultural immersion. Come hungry, be open, and let Tenjin’s food, people, and atmosphere show you what Fukuoka nightlife is truly about.
  • Cruising the Naka River at dusk offers beautiful neon cityscapes and elegant views of Hakata Bay that you cannot experience when walking around the city. In addition, a guide will tell you about Fukuoka's historical buildings and tourist attractions that can be seen from the boat. It will greatly enhance the enjoyment of your upcoming trip to Fukuoka. If the weather is bad and the boat does not go out, we will take you shopping or to selected taverns.
