Private Excursion Best of Fukuoka Sightseeing and Historical Heritage

Experience Japanese culture at its finest with our private shore excursion in Fukuoka. This tour will take you on a journey into the heart of Japan's rich history, inviting you to explore renowned landmarks, and immerse in an environment that perfectly blends the old with the new.

Starting off at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, you'll step into an atmosphere of tranquility. This famous Shinto shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, a revered scholar. It boasts beautiful Momoyama-style architecture and offers a serene landscape marked by bridges and ponds, making it a perfect spot to delve into historical charm.

Your historical journey continues at the Kyushu National Museum. As the first new national museum in Japan in over a century, it combines technology and tradition to wonderfully narrate the history of Kyushu and how it served as a cultural bridge, connecting Japan with the rest of Asia. High-resolution video systems and innovative image processing offer a unique exploration of thousands of years of history and cultural exchange.

Next, we visit the Kushida Shrine, a significant Shinto shrine located in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka. Known for hosting the annual Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival, this shrine is an emblem of Japanese tradition and spirituality. Founded in 757, it stands as a testament to Japan's enduring heritage, attracting visitors from far and wide.

Last but not least, find your peaceful retreat at the Rakusuien Garden. Nestled in the heart of bustling Fukuoka, it offers a tranquil escape. The garden, established in 1906, is a blend of traditional Japanese landscape design and features tranquil ponds and streams. Here, you can witness the changing seasons and enjoy a moment of calm in the traditional tea rooms.

The tour comes with a packed itinerary that promises an unforgettable experience of Japanese culture, with ample time for you to fully immerse yourself in each location. Just note that timings may vary based on factors such as weather, traffic, and optional meal times. Nonetheless, we guarantee a well-tailored schedule that maximizes your docking hours.
