Fukuoka 2023!

 Travel dates Nov 1-4, 2023

Hakata City

Fukuoka Mystays Tenjin.

  

That is how big the room is, or at least the room I had. Reminder that Japan only uses the two prong outlets. If your machines/chargers are three prongs, remember to get an adapter. 

Yatai!

   

Fukuoka is really popular for their Yatai stands. Got to try it out if you are there. Be part of the experience. The pricing is not bad too.   

  

Fukoka Castle Ruins

Ohori Park

Ohori Park is really a nice walk. I recommend it.

Atago Shrine

 

Lots of these in Japan though this one requires and uphill walk.

Canal City

Popular shopping mall. If you need to stop by one, it be this one.

Fukuoka Tower

Worth the views and especially the sunset! 

Return to Canal City and more Yatai!

Kirby Cafe requires reservations. If you want to try it, you must book it in advance. Food was ok. Its gimmicky to me. 

Nanzoin and Daizafu Tenmangu Shrine.

Going to these places can be far and they are not direct to each other. For example, you need to catch a train from Hakata to Nanzoin which can be about half an hr to 40 mins approx. Then you need to catch a train back to Hakata and then jump on a bus or take multiple trains to get to Daizafu. This will probably take another 60-90 mins or so. It's worth it only if you are into these sightseeing things. The last image here is a Starbucks which is popular due to it's numerous wood sticks weaving outwards. Both areas are popular tourist attractions. 

See you in the next blog. It will also be the 100th post of this blog!
