Experience Details
Unlike in other places in Japan, the yatai food stall scene thrives in Fukuoka’s Hakata area — an enduring symbol of many renowned local street foods. Locals pride themselves on their food culture, a sentiment that in recent years drove the restoration of one Hakata’s three main yatai areas, Nagahama. Today, this bustling hub is seeing a resurgence in popularity, revitalizing yatai culture as a whole. What better way to dive into these traditions than to let an experienced local guide lead you through Hakata's bustling yatai stalls? In this yatai hopping tour, you’ll experience Hakata’s captivating yatai culture, enjoy meals at up to four different food stalls and learn the stories behind them from a local host.
A team of Fukuoka guides lead this private tour through Nagahama and Neo-Nakasu, another yatai area known for its relaxed atmosphere. While these stalls have a reputation for being casual, both of these areas offer a top-notch dining experience. Enjoy delicious and comforting meals and chat with stall owners in four unique, charming yatai stalls where Fukuoka’s legacy can be savored in every bite.
