A Bite of the Big Apple! WTFuk?

Published on Sep, 2023

You can find yourself saying WTF anywhere in Japan, but here the airport code is FUK so fun just writes itself. When I saw that my guide had lived in Fukuoka for 30 years and still retained a NYC flourish, WTF crossed my mind. Luis is fluent in English, Spanish and Japanese and is deeply woven into the community. I asked for a day of worthwhile places that I might miss and planning for the next few days. We did just that and enjoyed the city from sea and land while I learned about Fukuoka and how Luis ended up choosing to live here. During our walks we ran into folks that recognized Luis and said hello to us in all three of his languages! I followed many of Luis recommendations and came away feeling that he understood exactly the types of experiences I was seeking. If you are good he will get you a Brooklyn Burger if you are missing the taste of home. And like any New Yorker he knows where the good and bad are located so get yourself situated with a typical or different city intro. I can’t recommend Luis enough.

Although we met at a subway station a little out of town, Bruce was able to guide us back to the city and picked up a few great tips on the way

ARIF is a guide to recommend in Fukuoka!

Published on Jun, 2023

Wonderful guide who gave us history and cultural information. ARIF even helped us accomplish tasks like going to a bank, that would have been far more difficult without him. His world vision also was important for perspective and context. Would definitely recommend him!
