What to expect
As a historical trading hub, Hakata was once the center of goods being traded all over Japan and internationally. Before the shopping begins, visit locally famed Kushida shrine, the annual summer Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival is dedicated to the shrine and the intricately designed 10 meter high floats are displayed year round. As the traditional manufacturer of Japanese 'Hakata ningyo' dolls, the exhibition of the dolls and other local handicrafts are a must see in Fukuoka. Begin your real shopping expedition at Hakata's Kawabata shopping street - with over 100 stores it's hard to resist the souvenirs on offer. Continue on to the Hakata Riverain mall where you will also have the chance to sample various Japanese sauces accompanied by the local knowledge of your guide and translator.





Reviews
This walking tour is very informative, especially about the summer festival Hakata Gion Yamakasa, and Kushida Shrine.
I was the only one participating, but the guide guided me very politely in English. At the beginning, he told me that he had a bad throat and apologized politely. He took photos for me and gave me a lot of emotional value. At the end, we had a cup of coffee together. It was a very pleasant trip! At the end, I said I wanted to eat ramen. People were very good. I recommended that I go to a place with a lot of ramen. I left by myself after I left! Although I was the only one participating, the guide guided me very politely in English. At the beginning, he told me that he had a bad throat and apologized politely. He took photos for me and gave me a lot of emotional value, which was really great! At the end, we had coffee together. I treated him to it as a tip. It was a very fun trip! At the end, when I said "I want to eat ramen," he kindly introduced me to some recommended ramen shops and actually took me to the shop, and then I said goodbye there.
The meeting point was in JR Guchi exit, the station is massive big, to look for someone l never met, it is challenged, and the worse l was the only customer, if the tour guide can hole up a sign, then l did not need to walked up and down to look for him. Me. Nagafuchi is a nice person and l have fun.
Mr. Nagabuchi is very friendly and is very good at explaining historical and humanistic stories. The whole trip was rich and interesting. I spent a relaxing and pleasant trip in Hakata. There are professional tour guides to take you shopping, taking pictures and explaining things. It is meaningful and meaningful. Great value for money!
Eventhough I was the only guest the tour was not awkward at all, thanks to the awesome guide who was so hospitable. This is a short tour around downtown Fukuoka but it was very informative.
did not get much info from the tour guide because he had trouble speaking due to sore throat
Unfortunately the guide ĥas the throat problem so we are unable to hear at all what he was saying. He seems to be a very nice guy however for this few hours trip, we could have earned more knowledge about Hakata and Fukyoka if he had no issue with his throat. His English honestly could blhave been better.
Lucky to get a one-on-one tour! The explanation is very detailed and also introduces many attractions. I can't finish this, I have to look forward to the next time!
The Tourist Guide,Mr.Nagafu was prompt in the mteeting place on the day of tour. He was very nice,and explained well the history of each site. Even Im the only client,we pushed through with the tour.This was really a nice experience and will do it again next time with klook.
There are translators on the itinerary, and it is not inconvenient to understand Japanese. The tour guides are very kind and explain the details. Although the walking spots can go by themselves, there will be many interesting details in the tour guide group.
