Explore Fukuoka by bike, cycling around the tranquil and enjoyable streets of this coastal city. Visit historical places and enjoy landscapes of gardens and seaside while listening to the stories of a knowledgeable guide passionate about the city.
This morning, get on a speed cross bike and prepare for a pleasant, flat ride to explore the city of Fukuoka with a local guide.
The first destination is the Hakata old town, the home of Fukuoka’s two biggest festivals, Hakata Gion Yamakasa and Hakata Dontaku, which the guide can tell stories about. Several temples and shrines are located here, and the guide will offer explanations about the difference of Shinto and Buddhism from a local’s perspective. Continue cycling down backstreets to get a glimpse of local life before arriving in the park housing the ruins of Fukuoka Castle.
Learn about the history of the town at the Korokan Historical Museum and enjoy the passing of the season at the pleasant Ohori Park before reaching the seaside. Take a spin along the coast, refreshed by the sea breeze.
After the cycling, recover energy with a delicious ramen lunch in a local restaurant. Hakata ramen is of the tonkotsu variety (pork bone broth ramen), which originated in the city and is now considered by many to be the best ramen in Japan!
Return the bikes and part ways with the guide. Continue exploring Fukuoka on foot or return to the hotel.
