About This Tour
Embark on a 2-hour guided tour through Fukuoka’s lively Tenjin and Nakasu districts, the heart of the city's ramen culture. Famed as the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, Fukuoka is home to two iconic ramen styles: Nagahama and Hakata ramen. Nagahama ramen features thin noodles and a rich, hearty tonkotsu broth, often served in quick street stalls.

On this tour, you’ll visit renowned ramen shops in both districts, sampling the unique flavors of each ramen style while learning about their history and cultural significance. Experience the bustling atmosphere of Fukuoka’s food scene and immerse yourself in the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, a global culinary sensation.
