Tour with a local guide of the best food in Fukuoka: yatai stalls, tonkotsu ramen and gastronomic spots that don't appear in the guidebooks; from around 9.000 ¥.
Fukuoka is considered one of the gastronomic capitals of Japan and the cradle of tonkotsu ramen, so discovering its food with a local guide is one of the best plans in the city. This tour takes you through the authentic culinary scene of Hakata and Nakasu: the yatai, the characteristic street stalls that are set up at nightfall by the river, where ramen, yakitori and plenty of atmosphere are served; tonkotsu ramen establishments; and spots you would hardly find on your own. Beyond eating, the guide explains the culture of the yatai and leaves you recommendations for the rest of your stay. The tour starts at around 9.000 ¥, with food and drink included and small groups, and it is only for those over 20 if you want to make the most of the alcoholic drinks. It is advisable to book in advance because the places are limited. It is an ideal plan for your first night in Fukuoka, combining flavours, local culture and the unique atmosphere of the illuminated street stalls on the riverbank.
