About this experience

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
