We enjoyed our Fukuoka food tour. Our guide Jaye Jaye was terrific. Very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her and learning about her experiences living in Japan. The food stops were great and good value for what we paid. Would have liked more education/info on the location as we were walking. Although to be fair, it was raining, so communication was not ideal. There was miscommunication from the tour company, as we received an email the day before giving us the wrong tour date and time. No response on my email to confirm the day/time. Meeting location description could have been clearer, as Kego is a large park. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour and guide Jaye Jaye.

We booked our Hakata Market tour after watching Shizuka Anderson participate in a similar tour with Mason on YouTube and we’re so happy we did. As mentioned in other reviews, Jaye, our guide on this experience, was AMAZING. We’ve been on a few Byfood experiences already and all of them have created memories that will last a lifetime. We’re novice “foodies” so the fish market, udon restaurant, and cafe were local places that we wouldn’t have known to seek out if not for the tour and a perfect introduction to Fukuoka food culture. Our minds were educated and our bellies filled. “A” for the experience and having a great guide in Jaye made it an “A+”. Highly recommend!

Our experience was fantastic! Bruce and Tomoko were exceptional. This is a must do when in Fukuoka. We wanted to experience the Yatai stalls but felt a little intimidated doing them by ourselves so we booked the tour and we’re so glad we did! We highly recommend to book this to get the real local experience. We made two new friends who helped us enjoy delicious food and were delightful company! 10 out 10. It was an unforgettable evening and an extra-special birthday for my wife.

After learning about the experience on YouTube we decided to get the local perspective on Fukuoka. Our host Jaye Jaye was more than we could have hoped for. Starting at the temple, which also happened at the same time as a wedding, we learned some facts about the temple and architecture features. We then walked to the fish markets and sampled some sashimi and other local produce with the guidance of our host. Then on to the Udon restaurant which is literally around the corner we had warm and comfy udon. Our last stop at a bunch of local bars for warm Sake. We bonded pretty quickly with our host and the conversation was non stop. We had a blast. Would recommend this tour and especially JJ.

Bruce is a master host. Not only did he take us to amazing yatais (we're still dreaming about ramen and mochi-wrapped bacon), he provided just the right mix of information, entertainment, and good old-fashioned conversation throughout the evening. Also, his longstanding relationships with the yatai operators were evident - and heartwarming to see. Touring with Bruce was definitely a highlight of our trip!
