We had a wonderful evening with Ryo (our photographer) and Hasegawa-San at his exclusive restaurant! Hasegawa-San and his staff were very accommodating with our dietary restrictions (we are vegetarian), and cooked up a masterful 8 course dinner ! The dinner was tasty, and my family loved the whole experience! Afterwards, even though we were early for the sakura (they hadn’t bloomed yet), Ryo-San found us a couple of trees that had blossomed and took some beautiful pictures! I recommend the tour highly- thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience!

Bruce was an exceptional tour guide—easy going, knowledgeable, and deeply connected to the heart of Fukuoka’s yatai culture. His rapport with the yatai operators was immediately evident; it felt like we were being welcomed not just by vendors, but by friends. Some of the regulars greeted him with genuine joy, a testament to the relationships he’s built up at these establishments. Fellow travelers were impressed by his effortless Japanese, which comes as no surprise given his 40 years of living in Fukuoka. With Bruce leading the way, the experience felt less like a tour and more like an insider’s night out in the city, experiencing the original and less touristy yatai scene as well as some of the super popular spots. Just be warned, (4) yatai stalls is a lot of food!

My wife and I booked the Fukuoka Yatai Food Tour in Hakata, and it was a delightful experience that I highly recommend. Bruce met us at our hotel to start the tour and was friendly and knowledgeable, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The variety of street food was impressive, from delicious Hakata ramen to perfectly grilled yakitori and more. Bruce takes you to the best yatai stalls and has a relationship with all of the chefs, which makes you feel welcome and well taken care of. The tour has a great atmosphere, and Bruce makes it a point to show the social side of the yatai experience as well - starting conversations with other patrons at the stalls and helping you to meet people from all over the world who are also there to enjoy the food and have fun. This helps to make the experience even more special. Bruce’s passion for Fukuoka's street food culture was infectious, adding depth to the tour. If you're in Fukuoka and want a taste of authentic local cuisine while exploring the city's lively streets, this food tour is a must-do!
