Review for: Hakata Alleyway Tour

I am very happy in my experience in this tour. Mr. Nagafuchi was so kind and accommodating. He told stories about the Old Hakata. We wouldn’t know a lot about Hakata if were not for Mr. Nagafuchi. He brought us to very scenic and historical locations. He also offered to take our pictures. He was very eager during the tour and he also gave recommendations about where to eat and what to do. Thank you very much, Mr. Nagafuchi and we hope to see you again. I highly recommend this to those who would like to know about the history of the Old Hakata.

Review for: Hakata Alleyway Tour

I highly recommend this itinerary Mr. Yongjiu super seriously introduces the attractions and explanations to us. If you happen to be in Hakata for half a day and want to talk to the Japanese about Japanese, I really recommend the Hakata walks. Opportunity to talk with Japanese people I personally think that even if I do n’t speak Japanese, it is very suitable for this trip. Really recommend! Because it was just scheduled for the morning and afternoon trip, Mr. Yongzheng also took us to eat the delicious udon noodles at a cheap price. In addition to the attractions, I will also take Japanese retro toy stores, which are really interesting stores. I can't help but buy a few toys to go home.

We spent half a day with Naga-san and it did not disappoint. I wouldn't have known the places he took us to because they're not typically on travel guides. Naga-san is friendly, accommodating and researched very well in preparation for the tour.

Review for: Hakata Alleyway Tour

Nagabuchi takes us on a stroll through the historical temples and shops in the Hakata area. These are places we would never have thought of visiting when we visited Fukuoka many times before. If you are like us, travelers who mostly visit scenic spots and Fukuoka hotels radially every day may wish to arrange a half-day Participate in this trip at your leisure.
