▶︎ Looking for recommendations for what to do in Fukuoka? Fukuoka is one of Japan’s most popular cities and has become increasingly famous globally for its drinking and street food scene. Its population is growing at a faster rate than any other city in Japan, and with 4.2 restaurants for every 1000 people - second only to Tokyo for the highest concentration of restaurants in Japan - we can see why! But with so much to see and do in downtown Fukuoka City alone, it’s hard to know where the best places to eat are or how to make the most of just one day in Fukuoka.

▶︎ What is Fukuoka famous for?
Fukuoka is famous as being the home of Hakata ramen and in particular, “Ichiran Ramen”, Japan’s most popular “tonkotsu” pork bone broth ramen shop among foreign tourists, but with Ichiran branches dotted around worldwide, we’re looking for local restaurant alternatives to share with you! As well as being a foodie hub for “motsunabe” winter hotpots and “mentaiko” cod roe, apparently, there are also over 600 restaurants specialising in yakitori alone, but anyone wanting to experience Fukuoka’s best food and nightlife should check out Japan’s most famous pop up outdoor “izakaya” (Japanese pubs/ snack bars) on wheels known as “Yatai”. Today in our 1 day tour of Fukuoka, we’re visiting the Fukuoka Christmas Market, which is one of Japan’s biggest Christmas markets, to see the winter illuminations, and going in search of the best food in the city while sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with total strangers in Yatai Tenjin no Ryutakun (天神のりゅう太くん, https://tenjinsite.jp/manga/en/).
