Overview

Hakata in Fukuoka is famous for its yatai food stalls, a cherished symbol of the city’s vibrant street food culture. Locals take pride in these traditions, and recent efforts to restore areas like Nagahama have helped preserve yatai culture.

On this private tour, your local guide will pick you up at your hotel or another designated meeting point before taking you by taxi to Nagahama and Neo-Nakasu, the latter known for its relaxed riverside atmosphere. At up to four different food stalls, you’ll enjoy a variety of dishes and drinks, including Hakata-style ramen, while learning the stories behind each stall from your host.

As you stroll through the Nakasu riverside area, take in the stunning night views of Hakata while mingling with chefs and locals. This intimate, small-group tour offers a genuine taste of Fukuoka’s culinary legacy, combining delicious food, local stories, and the charm of Hakata’s yatai culture into one unforgettable evening.
