Things to do in Fukuoka Prefecture

A lot of fun. The best dolphin show I have seen in a long time. Also the Penguin Parade was super cute. Can really get up close to the sea animals there. The dolphin training show was very unique. Easy to find and got there by train. Just a really nice, fun day!

So much fun! Considering that six years ago, during a company trip, a large group of us were crammed into one boat, this time for our family trip, we specifically chose a private boat tour, which offered plenty of space. The scenery along the Yanagawa River is beautiful, and the gentle breeze made for a leisurely and pleasant experience. The boatman was handsome and provided excellent service. With only six people on the boat, there was ample space. Watching the fishermen jump on and off the boat was entertaining. Noticing children on board, in addition to singing folk songs, the boatman specially sang Doraemon and Momotaro songs, which delighted both children and adults, creating a fulfilling emotional experience. The boatman also pointed out nearby landmarks, historical sites, and the famous eel rice restaurants along the riverbank. My family was very satisfied with and loved this trip. I highly recommend booking a private boat when visiting Yanagawa so you can truly experience the leisure and beauty of a Yanagawa boat tour, with the entire boat just for your family, making it easier to take photos.

Visiting Fukuoka Tower was one of the highlights of my trip to Fukuoka. The admission process was smooth and easy, and the staff were very organized and helpful. Once at the observation deck, the panoramic view was absolutely stunning. You can see the whole city skyline, Hakata Bay, and even the coastline. It’s especially beautiful during sunset and at night when the city lights start to glow. The tower itself is very clean and well maintained, and there are nice spots inside where you can take photos and enjoy the scenery. It’s a relaxing place to just admire the view and appreciate how beautiful Fukuoka is from above. Overall, the Fukuoka Tower admission ticket is definitely worth it. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in Fukuoka and want to see the city from a different perspective. A great experience and perfect for photos!

We had a wonderful experience on this day tour to Kusasenri Grassland (Kusasenrigahama) and Takachiho Gorge. Our tour guide, Daisy Wu, was very lovely and friendly. She speaks both English and Chinese fluently, which made communication very easy for everyone in the group. During each stop, she also recommended different local food spots for us to try, which was very helpful. Originally, our itinerary was supposed to include Aso Crater as well. However, due to a recent helicopter accident and the ongoing rescue operations, the crater area was temporarily closed. Daisy handled the situation very well and brought us to an alternative spot instead. Luckily, the weather today was very clear, so we were still able to see Aso Crater from Kusasenri Grassland, which made the experience even more special. Overall, this is a highly recommended day tour. Thank you for the lovely keychain souvenir, it’s a nice memory from the trip. Hope to join another tour with Daisy again in the future!

Really enjoyed this trip. The guides were great, the timing was perfect, and we always had enough time to look around. Unfortunately Mt. Aso was closed on the day, so we couldn't go up, but that was out of the tour operator's control. Overall we are very happy with the experience and would recommend it.

We had such a wonderful experience on this tour, and a big part of that was because of our guide, Daisy. From the very beginning, she made everyone feel welcome and at ease. You could really feel her passion for what she does. She didn’t just give us facts — she shared stories and little local insights that made each stop more meaningful and interesting. We also really appreciated her patience and how organized everything was. Nothing ever felt rushed, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. She made sure everyone was included and enjoying themselves. Thank you, Daisy, for making this more than just a tour. It truly became one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll gladly recommend this experience to our friends and family because of you!

I would like to commend our tour guide Helen. He speaks English fluently and patiently answering all questions. She has a lot of knowledge about the tourist spots and willing to take a photo for you. That’s a plus especially for solo travel. Thank you so much, Helen!!! Sayonara…..

Sun was a very informative guide and I learned alot .The castle is impressive and well worth visiting but the view from the Aso plains is amazing.Such a strange landscape I would highly recommend this trip.

Activities: There's a variety, including virtual animal catching, drawing, and coloring, as well as walking through various rooms. Suitable for all genders, every day. There are many rooms to see and plenty of photo opportunities. Service: The management is quite good. The queue wait isn't long, and there aren't too many people in each room. We forgot something, and the staff provided excellent service and returned it to us very quickly. Price: Buying with Klook is very worthwhile. You can use discount codes quite a bit, and you can also use credit card codes.
