Fukuoka Open Top Bus (with kids)

Only take this bus if you are a Japanese speaker. They are supposed to have a headset system that uses GPS markers to play commentary in English when the bus passes key landmarks. I should’ve backed out of this tour when I bought the ticket. They said they are having issues with the GPS system and that there are no refunds if it doesn’t work.

Took the 7.30pm tour for around 90-100mins around the city. It was definitely a comfortable and easy way to explore the city. Paid 2000yen and advance reservation is a must.

Really enjoyed the open top bus tour.. Chose the Seaside momochi route. They have 3 schedules 10am, 12:30pm and 4:30pm.. Not many tourist rode during my saturday visit. Another perk of this is that you get to ride Nishetsu buses around Fukuoka for the whole day! Not bad for 1570 yen
