If street food sounds like something up your alley, the ultimate destination for the dedicated street-food enthusiast is Fukuoka. Known as Tokyo’s laid-back cousin, Fukuoka for many is a hidden gem on Kyushu Island and is widely considered one of the most overlooked places in Japan for street food. Famous for its “yatai”—which are the charming sidewalk restaurants that offer an authentic dining experience that has almost entirely vanished from the rest of the country.
Between meals, visitors can also take scenic boat tours through the canals of Yanagawa, or enjoy the relaxed vibe of Futamigaura Beach with its iconic seaside torii gate. Malaysia Airlines will fly five times weekly to Fukuoka starting 2 September 2026, with limited-time intro fares.
