Shizuka has such a great personality and made the cherry blossom tour a lot of fun with trivia, plentiful details about the Nakameguro area, street food recommendations, and a well thought out plan for the experience. It felt surreal being a part of this particular tour given I had been wanting to do this since they shot the Nakameguro video in 2023. Definitely a great addition to the Japan By Food tours. You will love Nakameguro any time of year, but cherry blossom season really makes it shine! Hoping to do more tours on another Tokyo trip someday soon.

We had such a great time meeting Shizuka. Thought the Sukora were not quite ready, the tastes of food introduced by her made for a lovely time. Shizuka' on air personality matched her real life personality: fun and happy and truly loves Japan and loves sharing what she knows. We we liked a new food she was so gleeful that she had a part in helping us experience the food culture she loves. Thanks Shizuka!

Bruce was great. He took us to one of his favorite yatai’s and the food was amazing. He gave us walking tour of the city as well and pointed out a lot of good go to’s while in Fukuoka. We went to a local ramen shop and had authentic hakata ramen, which also was delicious. The group was having such a good time we hung out a little longer to grab some dessert. Highly recommended for anyone that wants a taste of authentic Fukuoka.

This was our first trip to Fukuoka for our group of 5 and we were looking forward to enjoying the Yatais. The Yatai Hopping experience was flawless thanks to Bruce! His introduction and detailed communication on the days prior and day of, meeting us at a convenient location, fabulous food selections at the Yatais, relaxing walking tour around the areas, and his bubbly personality were just a few of our positive experiences. Bruce was also very helpful on the following days when I had questions about places to eat/visit. He answered my multiple text messages promptly, and I felt like I was corresponding with a friend. Our entire group had a wonderful time and would recommend Bruce for this fun activity.

Bruce and his team were awesome hosts! The Yatai’s that he selected for us suited our taste buds perfectly, every dish that he ordered was absolutely delicious. His friendly demeanor made it more enjoyable as we met every guest that joined us; made it feel like we were at a neighborhood bar. At the end of the evening, Bruce put us into a cab and got us back to our hotel safely. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we highly recommend this experience to everyone traveling to Fukuoka.

Hakata Yatai Hopping: Fukuoka Street Food Tour
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.
