Highlights
  • Tenjin - 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.

  • Tenjin - 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.

Additional Information

We offer an experience like no other.
It is ‘real culture’.

Don’t you want to discover the places where locals go to have a good time?
We offer you a glimpse of real, contemporary culture, away from tourist spots.

Typical experience tours take you to places that are popular with foreigners. But to be honest, most Japanese locals have never been there.

Most of the people there are foreign tourists, and Japanese people do not go there. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these are places for foreign tourists.
Can we say that we ‘experienced Japanese culture’ by going there? We do not think so.

We take you to izakaya (Japanese style pubs) where ‘locals’ always go.
It is not a special place, but if you have Japanese friends, they will say, ‘What? You went there!’ they will be surprised in a good way.

We have begun to take action in order to show them the ‘real Japanese culture’.

Fantastic tour. - It was an absolutely fantastic tour. The yakitori place in the residential area was a true local experience. The guide was also entertaining, and I learned a lot about Japan. If I come to Fukuoka again, I will definitely join another tour.

Local experience - Guide was friendly. This wasn't your typical tourist spot—quite a charming place. Sake was excellent, though shochu wasn't my cup of tea, it was great to give it a try.

An amazing local experience in Japan!!! - Even though we could have walked around the city on our own, we didn't have the courage to enter these places. Thanks to being taken there, I feel like I truly experienced the real Japan. The food was delicious, the interpreters were friendly, and we had the best tour experience.
