Overview

Eat, drink, and laugh your way through the real Fukuoka—just like the locals do.
Skip the tourist traps and join us for a night locals would actually enjoy: two hidden izakayas, local drinks, unforgettable flavors, and great stories.

Perfect for travelers who:
・Want to experience izakayas but feel unsure without speaking Japanese
・Tired of touristy spots—craving something real and local
・Believe the best travel memories start with good food and good people

Fukuoka is the soul of Japanese comfort food—for good reason.
But the best spots? They’re off the map and rarely speak English.

That’s where we come in.
We take you deep into side streets where vintage neon signs flicker, the beer is cold, the food is hot, and strangers become friends.

Whether it’s your first time in Japan or your tenth, this is a side of Fukuoka you’ve never seen.
Come hungry. Come curious. Leave with a full heart!!

What to expect

  1. Tenjin
    1h 30m
    Tenjin is probably the busiest place in Fukuoka. This is because locals spend a lot of time in Hakata.
    There are many rip-off restaurants, but rest assured that our restaurant is safe.
    Here are some local izakaya where you can eat fresh fish and vegetable dishes and drink with peace of mind because you are a local.

    The first izakaya is a "fish" izakaya. Fish can be enjoyed in various ways such as "sashimi," "grilled fish," and "boiled fish. Japanese sashimi is fresh and very popular among Japanese people. Enjoy the taste of Japan.
    In addition to fish dishes, you can also enjoy a variety of alcoholic beverages. Sake is especially recommended. (Sake is an easy-to-drink alcoholic beverage that originated in Japan. It is a must drink when you come to Japan.)
    ※The order of Izakaya may change.
  2. Tenjin
    1h 30m
    After enjoying fish dishes, go to the second restaurant.
    The second restaurant is where you can enjoy "Yakitori" (grilled chicken). There are various kinds of yakitori. You can customize your yakitori to your own taste by choosing between salt and sauce flavors. You can enjoy yakitori and a wide variety of drinks at the same time, so please enjoy the taste of Fukuoka.
    ※The order of Izakaya may change.
