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!

Fukuoka Tower offers stunning panoramic views of the city and Hakata Bay. The observation deck is spacious and well-maintained, making it a relaxing place to take photos and enjoy the scenery. The experience was smooth and well-organised, and the views alone make it worth the visit. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Fukuoka or anyone wanting to see the city from a different perspective.

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.

We had an amazing experience on this one-day tour covering Mount Aso, Kusasenri, and Takachiho Gorge. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well-paced, so the day felt relaxed rather than rushed. There was enough time at each stop to explore, enjoy the views, and take photos without pressure. Our guide, Jimmy Liu, really made the difference. He was extremely attentive and proactive, giving important reminders before each activity and sharing useful tips and tricks along the way. He was also very impressive in how smoothly he switched between Chinese and English, making communication clear and effortless for everyone in the group. Each destination was breathtaking on its own, but with Jimmy’s guidance, the trip felt even more special and stress-free. I booked the trip last minute so I wasn’t able to get the boat ride but I’d suggest to get that option if you can cause the waterfalls look breathtaking.

It was a family trip, and thanks to Tak Yeon-ji, the guide who speaks Korean very well, it was a very comfortable day tour ^^ There weren't many Koreans, but she thoughtfully took pictures, told us about Yufuin restaurants, and took good care of us in between, so it was a comfortable tour all day. Another person who spoke three languages also spoke well and always spoke with a smiling face, so it was a happy tour ^^ Thanks to guide Tak Yeon-ji, our family made good memories ^^ I felt that she was a person who really takes care of travelers. Next time I go to Fukuoka, I want to meet her again on a day tour. I recommend this program ^^

On January 7, 2026, which happened to be my birthday, I chose to arrange a day trip to Kumamoto through Klook. The tour guide said there was only a 20-30% chance of going to Mount Aso, so we were observing the wind direction the whole way, and everyone was a bit nervous and excited. We first went to Kusasenri to take photos, and then ate the famous Aso Akaushi Donburi. Unexpectedly, after eating, we received the good news that we could go up the mountain! I was so lucky 🤍 When we arrived at the crater, the surroundings were covered in white snow, which contrasted sharply with the smoking volcano, creating an unrealistically beautiful scene. The tour guide explained everything very carefully along the way, took a lot of beautiful photos for us, and even recommended delicious souvenirs. He was a completely thoughtful tour guide. Then we went to Aso Shrine to worship. We purified ourselves according to the method taught by the tour guide and filled a bottle with spring water to drink. It tasted sweet and delicious. Finally, we arrived at Kurokawa Onsen. In the cold weather, soaking in the warm foot bath relaxed me completely. Before returning, I bought a super red cream puff for dessert, which marked the end of this birthday day trip. Spending my birthday among volcanoes, snow scenes, and hot springs was an unforgettable memory 🎈🤍

So happy and fun!! Xiao Wang is very handsome and a good person, he also allows plenty of time, and doesn't disappear to hide somewhere and steal salary after dismissing the group. He's also easy to talk to, and proactively offers to take pictures for everyone. And this time, I was the only one traveling solo, and when kayaking he even asked if I needed help, saying he could accompany me, so warm! Although I refused haha I wanted to take pictures myself, you can see he takes leading the group seriously~ 😙👍🏻 One of the few great guides with nothing to criticize‼️ Highly recommend 🤚🏻🔥 Although it was a pity this time because the Aso volcano viewing area was closed due to the helicopter accident, the itinerary was changed to Takachiho Shrine ⛩️ which was also beautiful! This accident was very serious and may close the area for quite a while, maybe two or three months, so people who want to go should pay attention!

This tour is a must if you are in Fukuoka! 💜 Our tour guide (Nicole) is very kind and very helpful. She is also very good in speaking english ✨💜All of the places we visited are great! The highlight is the Amaterasu Railway ride that is absolutely picturesque. You should visit is during sakura season 🌸

The 1-day trip was very good. Everything was on time. The guide, Kevin, provided excellent service. The guide speaks Chinese and English well, making it very comfortable for Thai people to travel. It was very worthwhile. The restaurants at Mt. Aso were also reasonably priced. If you're visiting Fukuoka, buy this trip, it's worth it.
