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.

Bruce was super knowledgeable, friendly, and generous! We lucked out with great weather and enjoyed lots of dishes at a long-standing family-run yatai stall, followed up by a nice restaurant experience. We never would have known where to go from amongst all the options, so I'm very glad we did this and got Bruce's recommendations.

We had an incredible food tour in Fukuoka. The yatais were superb! Bruce, our guide, was exceptionally accommodating and attentive to our requests. He facilitated an excellent exchange of travel experiences, providing insights and tips that enriched our journey. Bruce also guided us on our train ride back to the hotel and recommended other fantastic restaurants and must-visit spots. The food tour with Bruce is highly recommended. We’ll definitely return to Fukuoka and book another tour with Bruce!

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.
