Overview

Explore Hakata's rich history and diverse culture with our guided tour.

After a brief rest, we'll continue to Hakatamachiya Furusatokan to experience Fukuoka's deeply-rooted lifestyle and customs. The tour concludes with a visit to the cherished Kushida Shrine, a local favourite. Join us for an immersive journey into Hakata's past and present.
