Fukuoka Travel Blogs

Today is my last full day in Japan, and the weather couldn't be nicer.  Brilliant sunshine, crystal clear blue skies, breezy 70s -- the kind of weather that would make even a Southern Californian green with envy.  Today I visited the temples in Fukuoka, for one last dose of Japanese cultu…

Okay, so I don't actually have photos for Fukuoka but I do have a little story.After waking up in Pusan, I went to the international ferry terminal with the hope of catching a ferry to Fukuoka, Japan, and then take the train onwards to Kanazawa where my friend was waiting for me to come visit. …

With a Japan Railway Pass in your pocket distances doesn't matter in japan. Travelling by Shinkansen (HS-train) is very comfortable. Make sure you purchase your pass back home before you leave. I travelled from Tokyo to Fukuoka, a major city in the south of Honshu.

Getting to Fukuoka involved us having a huge day of travelling. We left Mt Fuji on the bus back to Tokyo which was easier and quicker than trying to get around Fuji to the nearest Shinkansen station. Once at Tokyo we had to race across town to pick up the Shinkansen (Bullet train) to Osaka where we…

Due to high winds and waves, we were not able to take the ferry, so instead, we had to take a short 35 minute flight from Fukuoka to Busan. The Nagasaki train station and Fukuoka airport are the places we spent most of the time today, almost 2 hours on the train.

Fukuoka surprised me.Fukuoka was another stop in Japan for me. I had zero expectations. But felt a little hesitant when I agreed to be part of this foodie-expedition leg in this south part of Japs.So coming here to find a very chill side of Japan was great. Fukuoka gives you a easy-feeling, and a n…

Our full last day in Fukuoka.... sigh. So I went with 2 other members from the group to visit the Fukuoka Tower and the Fukuoka Yahoo Dome for a stadium tour. We took the subway and then walked to the Fukuoka Tower. It was a very warm and sunny day, so the airconditioning was a welcome enjoyment o…

This trip was totally out of the blue, whilst on my Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand, I needed to get away from windy Wellington so I chose this strange combination. I was spoilt with beautiful deserted Motu in the South Pacific and amazed at the Japanese culture, its a Country like no other I've ever witnessed, a place I fell in love with and hope to return very soon.

check-out, go to tenjin/fukuoka station to dump my bag in a locker before taking a foot tour of the other side of tenjin - new territory for me.. i don't feel like seeing any sights today, just kinda taking it easy and relaxing with the camera.. after a while i just head back to tenjin and look aro…

A 2 weeks' journey around japan.

Shopping central district of southern Japan.  A huge party/night life.  Most of the clubs have a $30 entry fee and then it's unlimited drinks inside.  Visited Happy Cock, Sam and Dave's, and Saffari.  The clubs stay open until 6 am.  We took the $22 bus from Sasebo to Fukuo…

Fukuoka was our final destination in Japan and we used it as an opportunity for a couple of days rest.  The hostel was really nice and on our first evening we sat on the rooftop terrace chatting and drinking with some other travellers. The following day we found a cheap conveyo…
