“Mory was an excellent guide. He was organized and shared his plans for the evening when we 1st met. He went out of his way to pick us up from our hotel after our flight was delayed. He knew the owners of all the stalls we went to and shared their history with us. We especially liked that he avoided the "touristy" areas and gave us a genuine local experience. Though we had to wait in line at the stalls, we didn't notice as he kept us entertained with his closeup magic and mentalist abilities. 5 Stars!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 30 reviews · 1h 30m · from $24Best value

Paint your own Hakata Doll in Fukuoka during a 90-minute Japanese-led workshop, with materials included and a personal souvenir to take home.

“It was a lovely way to start our day. I love painting so I found it very fun. The materials provided are great, seems like high quality paint! I found the brushes a bit difficult to use as the bristles were quite soft but that’s just my personal preference as a painter. Both our dolls came out looking great and we’re so happy to have them as souvenirs from our trip. It was a lovely, peaceful activity. Also, the instructions are straightforward and are provided written in English so it’s not a problem if you don’t speak Japanese. Recommend this to anyone who likes painting/art/crafts!”
