Highlights
  • 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.

  • 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.

Additional Information

We offer an experience like no other.
It is ‘real culture’.

Don’t you want to discover the places where locals go to have a good time?
We offer you a glimpse of real, contemporary culture, away from tourist spots.

Typical experience tours take you to places that are popular with foreigners. But to be honest, most Japanese locals have never been there.

Most of the people there are foreign tourists, and Japanese people do not go there. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these are places for foreign tourists.
Can we say that we ‘experienced Japanese culture’ by going there? We do not think so.

We take you to izakaya (Japanese style pubs) where ‘locals’ always go.
It is not a special place, but if you have Japanese friends, they will say, ‘What? You went there!’ they will be surprised in a good way.

We have begun to take action in order to show them the ‘real Japanese culture’.

The best food tour - This tour with Manbu Baa just sensational, he went out of his way to show us not only great food to eat but sight of Fukuoka at night. He has a wonderful relaxed style that makes you feel like you are with an old friend. We had just the best evening together.

Everyone should definitely participate! ! ! - This Fukuoka tour is the best. The food was especially delicious and everything I did was a new local experience for me. I participated by myself today, but I would like to participate when there are other participants as well. The beginning of a great trip to Japan.

Best local experience, will definitely participate again - It was a really great experience. Our guide, Manabu, was very friendly and took us to local izakayas that we would never have come across. “Irori-yaki” was new to us, and it became one of the best memories of our trip to Japan.

Yu is the best - I had a lovely time joining Yu’s tour. She managed to show me the area with lots of bars and brought me to two izakaya which are very different. She’s a fun and social guide, made this tour experience wonderful.
