Hakata Yatai Hopping: Fukuoka Street Food Tour
Food Tours
If you’re looking for a tour of Fukuoka’s famous yatai’s with a friendly, knowledgable and amazing host, look no further! The booking process was a breeze and the customer service prior to actual tour was responsive and attentive. Bruce (our tour guide) reached out several times after booking the tour to communicate meeting details and to set expectations. The tour itself was fun and delicious! Bruce has so much knowledge about Fukuoka and the yatais. Being with him made us feel like VIPs and it was the best way to experience this unique cultural food. Because of Bruce, we were able to visit and try some of Takachan’s (feature on the Japan Byfood’s video) best hits, and none of it disappointed! It’s astonishing that real culinary magic happens at this unassuming food stall! We ended the night at one of Bruce’s favorite ramen spots to try some authentic tonkotsu ramen. This tour is 110% worth it and Bruce was a pleasure to be with! Be sure book this if you want an insider’s yatai experience in Fukuoka!

We had the pleasure of Hiro giving us a tour of the Nishiki Market. Unfortunately we had a tight schedule and Hiro went out of his way to accommodate our timeline. Not only did we learn so much about local cuisine we were also provided several suggestions on tips on other things to do in the area. Hiro is very interesting and a great conversationalist. We will definitely take his evening tour next time we are in Japan. Thanks Again Hiro.

Just book it! Andy took us to street food spots we NEVER would have stumbled into, and they were amazing. Even better, the stories about the area and each shop painted a history that made the experience more poignant, palpable than it would have been on our own. Oh, and the food was delicious! :-)

Osaka Shinsekai Street Food Tour (15 Dishes & 2 Drinks)
Food Tours

Street food is a big deal in the Land of the Rising Sun, and its vendors are some of the most consistently creative in the world. In fact, many of the iconic dishes of Japan — including sushi and yakitori — started their life in the street food carts of the big cities! These old-school carts are known as yatai, and nowadays they’ve undergone a hipster renaissance.

Alongside the classic Japanese street food dishes, you’ll find plenty of more recent additions to love like “yaki imo” baked sweet potatoes, “takoyaki” octopus batter balls, “imagawayaki” cakes filled with red bean paste, to name a few. The list is basically endless, and each region has its own unique variations to discover.

If you want the lowdown on the local street delicacies, hop on one of these Japanese street food tours and get the expertise from a local guide. You’ll be taken to the very best places to try Japanese street food in its most authentic forms. By the time you’re finished, you’ll be an expert in all the classics, as well as whatever new styles the mad scientists of the market stall and yatai are cooking up next.
