Free tours a Fukuoka

I joined Yohei's tour immediately after arriving in Fukuoka, and it actually turned into a private tour because the other guest cancelled at the last minute. I was grateful that the tour started at 3pm as the early afternoon is just too hot in Fukuoka right now! Yohei took me to the area around Ohori Park and the ruins of Fukuoka Castle, providing some information about the history of the castle and the city. We also discovered we both work in IT so it was fun discussing our careers as we walked between tour stops. After the tour finished I visited the matcha cafe that Yohei recommended and enjoyed a peaceful time looking out over the lake as the sun went down. The tour is a good way to get started if, like me, you arrive in Fukuoka with no plans and don't know where to start! Thanks Yohei for a fun afternoon.

Interesting facts , took us to places we would not have found.

Yohei war ein sehr netter Führer in Fukuoka! Er erzählt von sich aus nicht so viel und man muss viele Nachfragen stellen, aber die kann er beantworten. Er sollte die Sachen am besten von selbst erzählen.

Nous avons réservés la free walking le jour de notre arrivée par le ferry. Et c'était un super moyen de découvrir le Japon, par l'itinéraire proposé par Yohei, mais également avec les interactions humaines. Le parcours est très relaxant avec un jardin japonais pour conclure la balade.

A wonderful journey. I really enjoyed meeting Yohei and Maya who also joined the tour. Beautiful group showing me around beautiful Fukuoka

Yohei was prompt with answering my email messages. Communication was very good. He showcased a variety of places. The pretty sakura at Ohori Park, a museum, provided some history, took us to a beautiful Japanese garden, and ended with an interesting shrine. He took pictures of us and pointed out good photo stops. There were 4 of us on the tour and he evenly conversed with us all.

Yohei is a super nice man! He escorted me around the castle grounds, the ponds and an older, historical street, allowing me to learn about the history of the area.

Yohei took us to the places I wouldn't have thought of visiting. He also explained the history and significance of Fukuoka as a trading town

We had the honour of being the first tour of Yohei. It was a pleasant trip! We talked about the park and the castle, but also about life in Japan and the differences in our cultures. It was nice to talk and walk with a local. Just what we needed to make the trip to Fukuoka more memorable!

Love her energy

Yasmina's knowledge and enthusiasm brought us to a different side of Fukuoka! We didn't need to walk much and we explored different attractions. I appreciated the interactions and the activity proposed, with an interesting focus on Religion.

Con un extraordinario dinamismo y experiencia, Yasmina nos educó en en el Budismo y Sintoísmo con explicaciones y mostrándonos ejemplos prácticos de cada similitud y diferencia. Hemos hecho muchas visitas con GuruWalk y está sin duda es una para recordar. Gracias Yasmina!

Knowledgeable Enthusiastic Fun The tour got even better toward the end: interesting attractions, nice paths, we appreciated her attentiveness to our needs. Yasmina went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you🙏

Recomiendo al 100% al tour de Yasmina, hace que la visita a los templos cobre sentido poniendo todo el contexto necesario, muy bien preparadas las referencias históricas y culturales , ameno y divertido, la mejor manera de descubrir la historia de fukuoka.

Espectacular!!! Yasmina tiene amplio conocimiento de Japón y de la ciudad . Además, hace que el tour sea dinámico con actividades y preguntas que te mantienen atento a las explicaciones. Recomendable ampliamente

Yasmina was an awesome tour guide! She was super knowledgeable of the temples we visited and general history of Fukuoka. I learned so much from her and she also gave some great recommendations for things to do around town. Strongly recommend!

Well I travelled all the way from Kyoto for this tour… and back again. I can say with no hesitation it was worth it! I mean WOW!! The knowledge and fascinating and engaging route was just 11/10. Made me want to start studying Buddhism. Really lovely and engaging guide. Very professional and positive experience :-) Reccomend to everyone!

Yasmina nos dió un paseo por lo mejor de Fukouka. Es divertida y sabe mucho sobre la ciudad, sus templos y el budismo. Una gran experiencia, totalmente recomendable!

Muy ameno , si no fuera por la calor repitiria

Chica muy amable y atenta. Y hace muy ameno el tour. Gracias por todo.

Very informative walk learning about Zen and Shinto Buddhism. Yasmina had a wealth of knowledge on practices and events. Would highly recommend her tour

Si venís a Fukuoka no te podes perder la oportunidad de conocer mas a cerca del budismo, sintoísmo. Sus secretos, similitudes y diferencias. También nos contó del camino del ramen y de esta bellísima ciudad. La guía es genial. Compartió información relevante y de manera muy entretenida.

Yasmina es una profesional de 10, y gran persona! Nos esperó e hicimos el tour a pesar de ser sólo mi chico y yo. El tour fue súper ameno, Yasmina explica con mucha pasión y conoce muy bien la cultura. Además nos acompañó Yuto, su alumno, y fue todavía más enriquecedor. En todo momento Yasmina comprobaba si vamos bien de ritmo, de calor, de interés... Muy muy MUY recomendable, deseando verte pronto! Gracias 😄

We loved the tour! Yasmine's English was very good, and we understood everything. We learned so much about the different religions in Japan and had a great time. Would definitely recommend!

I had such an amazing tour with Yasmina, she’s super lovely and extremely knowledgeable about the shrines we visited and explained everything very well! Not only are you informed about the culture but she helps you to experience it as well at the shrines so that you are fully immersed in Japanese customs. We ended our day eating the most delicious ramen I’ve ever tasted and Yasmina explained the customs of eating ramen as well as teaching me some Japanese. It was my favourite day in Fukuoka and I cannot recommend her tour enough!
