A wonderful yatai experience with Bruce. Bruce is an exceptional guide. His insight, knowledge, enthusiasm and engaging personality made for a memorable evening. We can't thank him enough for sharing this dining experience that’s so unique and special to Fukuoka.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Fukuoka Yatai Tour with Bruce san as our guide! More than just a meal; it’s a cultural experience with a rich culinary heritage unique to the area. Bruce brought us to his favorite Yatai, ordering foods we liked and then through the Nakasu area for Ramen. It was a fun night spent hopping between Yatai stalls and one of the highlights of our trip with a wonderful guide.

We had a fantastic time with Bruce, exploring parts of Fukuoka and foods we’d never have had the knowledge / courage to try solo. It was a great introduction to the food scene for us there and a chance for a far more authentic experience that mixed Yatais, restaurants and other snack stops along the way. Bruce was right that the Yatai is the equivalent of a welcoming British / Irish pub where you get the chance to meet local people (with a little help from the translate app). Bruce was great at finding places that would accommodate my dietary restrictions, as a vegetarian, and adapting to the uncontrollable challenges that the weather throws up. Communication was excellent from booking and before and after the tour. Would highly recommend the tour.

My experience with Shin was great- it was fun interacting with locals in a casual environment. The Yatai stalls gave me some great ideas to try on my home kitchen. Shin was easy to talk to and communicated well before the excursion.

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.
