    7. Nishijingen Genkoborui Bulwark

      The Mongolian wall remnants in Central Fukuoka are a real find indeed! You wouldn't expect to be able to find this incredible site and a window to the long and dynamic historical past.

The remains are central located near Seinan University and only a 10 minute walk from the nearest subway station, so its a location that isn't too difficult to find let alone enjoy a stroll and feel the historical significance of the area.

    Fantastic private tour in comfort!

    A fabulous day out with Shannon, a knowledgeable tour guide who helped us to see both the local view and the highlights view of Fukuoka. Able to cover large distances to see things others off the ship did not on a private tour. Visits to the beautiful Japanese garden Ohori, the Rock Shrine and up to the top of the Fukuoka Tower. Interesting facts shared throughout the day by Shannon who looked after us like rockstars - pick up at the port in his extremely clean and comfortable vehicle and definitely showed us a brilliant time!

    Response from the operator: Thanks Paul, it really was a fabulous day. I am so glad that I was able to show you the highlight attractions of Fukuoka. I hope you come back to explore more of this region one day.

    Fukuoka walking tour 2024!

    Mr. Lefebvre was a very helpful, and informative Fukuoka walking tour guide. We later went on a bicycle tour with Bike is Life . . . .

    Response from the operator: I am glad I was able to show you and your family many interesting sites around Fukuoka City. I am sure there were many changes to the urban landscape since your last visit many years ago.

    A must!! A guided shopping tour that was the highlight of my trip. The best Japanese Thrift and shopping tour.

    If you love shopping and eating, this is the tour for you. We got to see the hidden gems that most tourists wouldn’t discover. We visited department stores, boutique shops hidden in the back streets, restaurants that had the most amazing dumplings I’ve ever tasted, that was so cheap and delicious tempura. If you love thrift shopping this is the tour to take. You walk around easily. I purchase many items from second Street. I can highly recommend the experience within English speaking guide that knows where to go. Definitely a must add to your trip to Fukuoka.

    Response from the operator: I can absolutely cater to the shoppers and gourmet lovers of Japanese food.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fukuoka and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    When is the best time to visit Fukuoka?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Fukuoka?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
