We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon private tour of Fukuoka with Wander Japan Tours. Our guide Mai was friendly, knowledgeable and a great photographer. Since Mai had lived in the US before, her English was awesome - we had great conversations about famous local sights, food, culture and day to day life in Fukuoka.
I had arranged the tour at the last minute the night before. I was really pleased that her tour company was able to accommodate us with such short notice.
After meeting at our hotel lobby, we visited a number of great places in Fukuoka - Tocho-Ji Temple, Kushida Shrine and the Japanese garden at Ohori Park. We had time to enjoy a wonderful hot red bean chestnut dessert with tea at the park. We also had time to buy some of Fukuoka’s famous strawberries on our tour. Transportation was by subway and taxi (fare not included in tour price).
We left the tour with great memories and a better understanding of Fukuoka than if we had explored the city without a guide.
I highly recommend this tour. You’ll love it. And do ask for Mai to be your guide. :)
