Bike Tour in Fukuoka City【Bike is Life】Fukuoka " Hakata " Ride
Description
Hakata and Fukuoka: A Bicycle Tour of Two Towns Fukuoka consists of two towns with different histories. Hakata, on the other hand, flourished as Japan's oldest international port and was a center of trade and diplomacy that was the departure point for Japanese envoys to Sui and Tang China in ancient times. On the other side of Fukuoka is the castle and its castle town built by Kuroda Nagamasa, a warlord of the Sengoku period, with his father Josui, across the Naka River. On this tour, you and your Guide will visit two different cultural areas, a merchant town and a castle town, while experiencing the genesis and history of the city of Fukuoka. Also, one of the attractions of biking is that you can ride along paths and rivers that are not accessible by car, or you can stop by spots known only to locals.This tour offers a deeper and more realistic experience of Fukuoka, allowing you to explore a wider area more efficiently than walking, and experiencing the city’s air and seasonal scents through your five senses. 【Plan Features】 Price includes: Bicycle rental, insurance, drinks and snacks. For: 16 years of age or older and over 145cm tall Start time: 13:00 - 16:30 Language: Japanese, English

Great ride Nice photos Ride around Fukuoka city Nice site seeing spots Nice stop for Japanese traditional dessert
We had a great time! Our guides were very kind and fun. Knowledgeable of biking rules and etiquette. It was super fun weaving in and out on the streets. Saw beautiful places and learned interesting history. Very recommended!
This is by far one of the most fun tours I’ve been on during vacation! Haruka was very nice, and took us to historical sites and local hidden gems. The bike ride was relatively easy, and if we needed to pull off to the side Haruka made sure to do so. He was quite knowledgeable, and tried to answer my mom’s unique questions as best as he could (sorry Haruka 😆)! The weather was perfect and we had plenty of places to rest and catch our breath. I highly recommend this excursion. 10/10 :) - Melissa, the daughter of the one that booked this tour 😁
Was great fun and we saw a lot of Fukuoka that we probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Bike took some getting used to but it was fine in the end. Very safe.
Had a really great ride with Haruka, who was personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. Bikes were in good shape, and we had the right amount of time at each spot. We had great conversations with Haruka, whose English is excellent. We really enjoyed the tour.
A really welcoming tour, lots of informative stops about the history and food of Fukuoka. Cycling really means you can get across a wide portion of the city and understand the history behind the core areas. Both of the guides were very friendly and really made this a highlight of my trip.
We had an absolutely wonderful bike tour with the most charming guide who was super considerate and very respectful of the relaxed pace that we wanted keep while riding. As he grew up in Fukuoka, he was very knowledgeable about the city and showed us many lovely corners of this amazing place. He also treated us to our very first Matcha Latte and Matcha Ice Cream which were extremely delicious! Arigato Haruka!!!
We had a hard time finding the place but our guide Haruka was patient and waited for us. He made sure the pace he set was comfortable for us since we are seniors and had breaks in between. Haruka was knowledgeable about the area and shared his love of Fukuoka. I would gladly recommend this tour!
Haruka was a great guide, this was such a fun and interesting tour! Even though I was the only one on the tour I was so grateful it wasn’t canceled and I got to learn so much about this beautiful city from such a kind a knowledgeable person!
It was really nice experience There was just my family But they kept the appointment My family really enjoyed The two guides are so nice, kind and friendly I really recommend this program You will experience nice and calm Fukuoka spots ^^
