Harvesting Strawberries
The strawberries eat full, really good. The attractive color of the red lips, the sweet taste of the microacid, plus the pleasant climate, push strongly.
Response from the operator: 非常感謝您的讚賞與大力推薦！很高興您能盡情享受草莓的美味。期待未來再次為您的旅程。

Lovely day out from Fukuoka city
A lovely day exploring nature's bounty in Fukuoka prefecture. The indigo dyeing was a lot of fun and we were able to get our creative juices flowing. Sadly there was no Sakura dye as advertised :( Lunch was ok, but the strawberry picking portion of the day was much more interesting for me. We got to eat strawberries to our hearts' content and were stuffed! Kumi was a lovely guide and in general a wonderful lady to talk to. Thank you for looking after us today and for sharing your knowledge of Japan with me! :)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We sincerely apologize that the Sakura dye was unavailable as advertised. We'll improve for the future customer. We’re glad you still enjoyed the indigo dyeing, the strawberry picking, and your time with the guide.

Stomach pear with dye cloth
It's fun, good value for money. Eaters eat plenty of beer pears and can play with dyeing cloth.
Response from the operator: 非常感謝您的好評！無論是品嚐美味的士多啤梨還是體驗染布，都為您留下了美好回憶。期待下次再和您一起出遊喔！

Fulfilling and interesting tour
This tour was a very fun an enjoyable tour. The itinerary of the tour were all things that are interesting and enjoyable for my tongue. The strawberry picking was enjoyable as the variety and quality of the strawberries was fantastic and the ¥500 strawberry products were no slouch either due to the quality of the milk and syrup used. The time given of 2 hours for the picking was also very rare as most farms i checked only provide 30 mins to 1 Hr. The tofu restaurant is heaven for a tofu lover due to the freshness and quality and they somehow have one of the most perfectly fried donuts. The dye workshop was very informative and the hosts were very friendly and explained all thier steps and processes as well as guided us through our handkerchief dying process as we created our own designs. The dyed items in thier shop was lovely as well. The guide and the driver was very helpful and kind as well, with the guide doing her best to accommodate us and liase with the hosts. Overall, this was a very fruitful tour and i highly recommend this for any foodies as well
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted that our itinerary, delicious food, and friendly hosts brought you such a fruitful experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable journey!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fukuoka.
How much does YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $11500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fukuoka usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fukuoka is not rushed.
Is YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fukuoka, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fukuoka can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does YokaBus Fukuoka Strawberry Picking and Sakura Dyeing Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fukuoka within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fukuoka?
+
On Outty we rank every Fukuoka experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day trip from central Fukuoka.Rental cycle in Shikanoshima island, Fukuoka Private Tour with a Local: Highlights & Hidden Gems, In Fukuoka! Guide to an izakaya only 100% locals know/Bar Hopping. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
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.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
