What an amazing host with amazing tours! - I recently took a tour in Fukuoka, and it was an absolute delight!
Our tour guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region but also made the entire experience fun and engaging.
He had a knack for turning every historical fact into an interesting story, which kept everyone in the group entertained.
I learned so much about Fukuoka’s rich heritage while also enjoying every moment.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Fukuoka with a guide who truly brings the city’s history to life!

Breathtaking Experience with English Speaking Guide - Let me first start out by saying it’s difficult to find any information on how to navigate from a cruise terminal to Fukuoka, unless you are in a group with the ship. Our ship was primarily Mandarin speaking, so we were left to find a way to explore Fukuoka on our own. We were so impressed by Remakr Japan and Radim’s perspective of the Japanese History and culture. He was an excellent tour guide where we visited the famous reclining Buddha, the largest sitting Buddha, the BEST Ramen in Fukuoka, numerous shrines, and still had time for shopping. This was a gem of an experience and made our travel efficient. We were easily able to connect via WhatsApp and discuss our requests and excellent recommendations were made. If you need an English speaking guide for Fukuoka, I would highly recommend Remakr Japan.

Seamless Fukuoka Experience - Radim made our last-minute Fukuoka adventure absolutely fantastic! Despite the short notice, he accommodated our booking and truly went above and beyond as our guide. His communication was excellent throughout - before, during, and even after the tour. He was not only knowledgable about Fukuoka's history and hidden gems, but also incredibly friendly and easygoing. It felt like we were exploring the city with a new friend, all while he seamlessly handled things like buying tickets and navigating for us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Best experience - I highly recommend this experience, Its not only informative but you will also be immersed with rich culture of Japan specifically in Fukuoka, Having Radim as a tour guide is just exceptional aside from being knowledgeable with the history he is also a good photographer. Cannot ask for more.
