Things to do in Fukuoka Prefecture

This is our second time doing a day tour with our tour guide, Seven 小欣 (J25) from JRT! Always enjoyable to be in her tour group! She is very chill and plan the route well to ensure we are able to reach and enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling rush despite earlier sunset time (the day turns dark faster in autumn). She is very helpful and make sure we get to each nice photo stops. She also introduced all the nice food and info about our route, fukuoka and kyushu as well. Strongly recommend!!

My husband and I decided to book this tour because finding tickets to Takachiho Gorge on our own had been quite challenging. At first, we were a little hesitant since we only speak English and the tour was conducted in Chinese. However, from the very first moment we met our guide, Miya, all our concerns. Despite the language barrier, he did his very best to keep us updated on everything happening during the tour, and her kindness truly made a difference. We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Kyushu, from the breathtaking Aso volcano to the magical Takachiho Gorge, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to visit this part of Japan. We also got to discover beautiful places, shrines, and experiences that made the day even more special. The tour itself was fantastic, but what truly made it exceptional was our guide. A great itinerary can take you to beautiful places, but a wonderful guide can turn the experience into something unforgettable.

Highly recommended! A wonderful introduction to Kyushu’s beauty, nature, history, culture, and scenery all in one trip. Thanks to Kevin, it was smooth, informative, and really enjoyable. If you’re in Fukuoka and want to see the best of Kyushu without planning it all yourself, this tour is a winner! ✅ Kevin was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, organized, and very knowledgeable, he explained history, culture, and little travel tips that made the day smoother. Speaking English, Chinese and Nihongo. He kept everyone on time without rushing, checked that we were comfortable, and was happy to answer every question. Truly made the trip more enjoyable! Thank you Kevin.

Wonderful Itoshima day tour with Chris as our guide and Miyazaki-san as our driver! Chris was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and recommended many lovely local spots. He was also an excellent cameraman, always happy to help guests capture great memories! The itinerary was well-paced, with sufficient time at each stop for sightseeing, photos and toilet breaks. Travel time was manageable, making it especially comfortable for me travelling with my elderly mum. Our fellow guests were also very friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Would love to see more light and easy-going day tours like this, with shorter travel times and a relaxed pace, especially for families travelling with elderly parents. Thank you for such a memorable experience! Highly recommended! ❤️

We arrived early at the Kumamoto Station Shinkansen West Exit to meet up. Our tour guide, Sun Peng, came over to gather the group. Since we were carrying luggage and planning to leave the tour in Kurokawa, the guide proactively asked if we had already arranged our hotel pick-up and drop-off. Although we could have arranged it ourselves, he went ahead and did it for us. Since Kurokawa has multiple parking lots, as a tourist, it would have been difficult to clearly communicate the exact pick-up spot with the hotel. Thumbs up for the guide's thoughtfulness! It was a gorgeous sunny day, and every scenic spot made for great photos. As a tourist, the experience was fantastic. Guide Sun also helped take photos for everyone, kept the commentary along the way witty and humorous, took meticulous care of us, and reminded us in advance of important points to keep in mind during the sightseeing. This trip is a great one-day tour option, much more convenient than planning and executing it yourself, and I highly recommend it!

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Lisa! She brought us to Dazaifu Shrine, Beppu Hell Hot Springs and Yufuin Village, making the entire journey enjoyable and memorable. Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. She shared interesting insights about each destination and made sure we had a wonderful experience throughout the trip. What impressed us even more was how she went the extra mile by recommending other places to visit and restaurants to try during our remaining days in Fukuoka. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a thoughtful tour guide in Fukuoka. Thank you, Lisa, for making our trip so memorable!

Buying tickets online in advance is very convenient, as the on-site ticket lines are very long. When the staff saw that I had an electronic voucher, they told me to go straight to the entrance to scan the QR code, and getting in was very fast. The kids had a great time. We bought ice cream with a souvenir cup and chose the limited-edition design, which the kids loved. Since it was close to Halloween, there was a stamp rally event where kids could scare the staff to earn a stamp; after collecting five stamps, they could go to the information desk to exchange them for a large sticker, and the kids were thrilled. In a pink shop (I don't know the name of the shop, but it sells little girls' accessories, shopping bags, etc.), with a purchase of 2,500 yen or more, children could get their nails painted for free, which made them very happy. The nail polish washed off pretty much after taking a bath. An unforgettable memory, highly recommended.

Convenience of booking via Klook: Easy to book and get tickets quickly. If they appear in Japanese, do not redeem them yet; show them to the staff instead. Price: Great price with discounts. Service: Good service with no issues. Activity: The show was fun with a great view and lots of beautiful fish. Thank you, Klook! Definitely book through them—it is convenient, comfortable, economical, and worthwhile.

Although the lottery reservation system two weeks in advance made me think this place would be packed, I found upon arrival that the crowd control was excellent. There was no pressure from long queues, making for a very comfortable visiting experience. While Fukuoka Tower may not be the tallest building we've ever conquered, the panoramic views from this glass tower are truly on par with any famous landmark. The sunlight glinting off the distant ocean, city buildings, and elevated bridges, combined with the lush greenery nearby and stunning cumulonimbus clouds, offers a breathtaking vista of the entire city of Fukuoka, which is truly refreshing. Visiting the tallest building in every new city is a travel tradition my child and I have always maintained. Watching him excitedly stride across the floor in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows at Fukuoka Tower, I felt this habit added another wonderful parent-child memory. If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka, I highly recommend adding Fukuoka Tower to your itinerary. Remember to make your reservation online in advance (it's a lottery system); good views are worth waiting for and even more worth experiencing in person.
