Fukuoka Neighborhood/Area Tours(8)

Mason our guide was fun and provide a most enjoyable day. He was extremely flexible and rearrange his schedule to accommodate our train schedule. Eating our way through Hakata was fun and an exciting experience. We savored three ways to have tea by learning in a hundreds old tea shop and tea master with delicious snacks to enjoy with the tea. Visited a beautiful Japanese temple, ate Hakata ramen, mento bread and chicken skin skewers. I highly recommend this food tour to taste a bit Hakata.

Outstanding and memorable food experience. One, Bruce knows his stuff, and Hakata knows him. You should see 'em jump to attention at the Ritz when he comes in. Second, he's responsive to what the client wants but third, most important, he's got a plan B for force majeure situations. We had a great walk and enjoyed a lunch of o-den and fresh tofu prepared various ways, al fresco on the lake, authentic and all local. An experience I couldn't have had on my own. Travel is too valuable to waste putzing around, get someone who knows the territory like Bruce to take you straight to the good stuff.
