2025 Fukuoka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Stay at Hotel JAL City Fukuoka Tenjin, a business hotel in the center of Fukuoka. It is located between Tenjin and Fukuoka Castle, and is conveniently located just 16 minutes from Fukuoka Airport by the Airport Line. JAL's business hotels are very small. The double room is 21 square meters, and the aisle is full even if you spread out the suitcases. However, the bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, which is quite rare as it does not have three pieces squeezed together, so you can take a comfortable bath. On weekdays, it costs NT$3,800 excluding breakfast, which is a bit expensive. The hotel's decoration is very modern, simple and neat, and there is a corridor staircase in the lobby that is quite photogenic. Although small, it has everything it needs. It is quite comfortable to live in and is ok for a short stay of one night. #KyushuTravel #FukuokaTenjin #HotelNikko

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 AMAM DACOTAN, a popular bakery in Fukuoka, has a main store next to Hakata Station. There is always a long queue, so just give up! Fortunately, there is another branch in Roppongamatsu, which is just a short subway ride away. Although the crowds are much smaller, the deliciousness remains the same. The store uses a lot of dried flowers to decorate, which matches the wooden furniture very well. There are rich varieties of bread, both salty and sweet flavors, mainly European bread. Fresh cream buns and hamburger buns, one sweet and one savory, are very popular; there are also custard donuts and thick-cut bacon sandwiches. There are so many types of bread that it’s dizzying, you can pick whatever you like without any disappointments! AMAM DACOTAN is a popular Italian restaurant "Hiraconchez "It was opened in collaboration with the famous bakery "Pain Stock". Business is so good that they even opened a branch in Omotesando, Tokyo. Just like "I'm Donut?", they are both desserts that became popular in Tokyo from Fukuoka. #九州旅游 #Fukuoka店探

Hello, this is nene♪ This time, I'm going to talk about breakfast at Fukuoka International Airport. There's no meeting place... There's no convenience store... I wondered when I used it for the first time... It's very luxurious though. But it looks like the redevelopment is finally going to be completed! Every time I go, construction is progressing, so I can't wait♡ Exciting♡ The other day, I used the arrival lobby for the first time since it opened. It was a completely different view from before♡ Since there are more shops, I've compiled the information. I divided it into before and after immigration, so if you're using it for the first time in a while, you can imagine it. ※Liquids are still not allowed to be brought in even if the cap of a plastic bottle is open. Be careful🖐️ Please purchase after you've passed immigration! There were vending machines from one end to the other! Thank you, manufacturer✨ I hope the immigration lobby opens soon. Every time I go, there's a long line at Starbucks 7🤪 How to conquer it! At Starbucks, you must use the mobile app to order!! At Seven-Eleven, you can choose your items while you're waiting in line! This should save you time! Please give it a try! *Information may have changed since the date of posting. Check the official website of the store before you go out. #overseastraveltips #fukuoka #overseastravel #FukuokaInternationalAirport #FukuokaInternationalAirportTerminal #fukuokaairport

The restaurant does not compromise on quality, using a large amount of ingredients flown in from Japan, especially from Hokkaido. This makes you feel like you are enjoying a high-quality Omakase meal in the heart of Sapporo. The whole Hokkaido whelk, after being simmered, has a delicate and tender texture with a slight chew, offering a refreshing and sweet taste with a hint of seawater. Hokkaido is known for its abundance of shellfish, making whelk a common ingredient. The whelk meat, simply seasoned with rose rock salt by the chef, brings out its refreshing and sweet flavor. The interlude dish is fresh sea bream sashimi wrapped around sea urchin tofu. The firm and chewy sea bream contrasts with the smooth tofu, with the sea urchin's rich flavor becoming more pronounced with each bite. The sushi segment features simpler preparations and seasonings, focusing on highlighting the quality and taste of the ingredients. The first piece is deep-sea tilefish, with a delicate and soft texture, smooth and sweet. The second piece is ark shell, with a refreshing and sweet taste, and the slight acidity of the vinegared rice enhances its freshness. The third piece is lightly seared goldeneye snapper, with moderate fat content, and the searing adds a hint of charred aroma mixed with the oil's fragrance, making it quite appetizing. The luxurious flavors continue with soy-marinated tuna paired with horse dung sea urchin, garnished with crisp radish sprouts and gold leaf for an elevated experience. The second type of sea urchin today is the purple sea urchin from Hokkaido, with a fresh and sweet taste that is more approachable than horse dung sea urchin, paired with crispy fried seaweed for an addictive crunch. Just as I started to feel full, a small mountain of food was served, featuring snow crab sushi with crab roe and fried perilla leaves. The vinegar jelly was particularly appreciated for its ability to refresh the palate, allowing me to continue eating. The much-anticipated fatty tuna hand roll finally made its appearance, topped with Japanese fried garlic. The fatty tuna was thick and succulent, melting in the mouth and incredibly delicious. The final type of sea urchin was the white sea urchin from Hokkaido, with a fresh and smooth taste, paired with dried cod for a delightful crunch.

Share Fukuoka 8 days 7 nights travel plan 🇯🇵 This trip, I changed my sleeping place 1 time, so prepare a small bag. 😆 Day 1: - BKK —>> FUK at 5 am, arrive around 9 am Thai Vietjet Airlines (I recommend buying Deluxed for convenience when checking in and getting 20 kg of luggage. The price is not much different from buying the normal type ✨) - Land then leave your bags at the accommodation. We stayed at APA Hotel Hakata Higashihie Ekimae, just 2 train stations from the airport. - Then go to Teamlab Forest Fukuoka. The building has a restaurant. Stop to eat at the mall before going in. - The first day, go shopping at the mall because I didn't prepare clothes. Day 2: - Go to Uminonakamiji Aquarium. There is a dolphin show and a penguin show. In the middle of the falling snow, it was so beautiful. - In the afternoon, we went shopping at the mall and looked for a restaurant to eat. Day 3: - We left early in the morning to Kumamoto Castle by Shinkansen. (Booked in advance from the JR website) - In the morning, go for a walk at Kamitori shopping arcade I got a pair of ON shoes ✨ - Take the train around the city and return to Hakata in the evening. Use the JR Pass to book a return train ticket at the counter. Day 4: - Check-out from the hotel, leave your luggage in a locker at Hakata Station, take a small bag instead, take the Yufuin no mori train (special trains must be booked in advance via the JR website only and can be booked 30 days in advance) - Visit Yufuin and check in at Pension Yufugoiki (entry at 15:00, grandparents are very cute, highly recommended‼️) Day 5: - Go to Beppu, take the train from Yufuin to use the JR Pass, book directly at the counter. - Visit Hells of Beppu, red hot springs - Walk and find something to eat and return to Yufuin to rest Day 6: - Check out and find something to eat before taking the same train back to Hakata - Check in at Toyo Hotel - Visit the temples at Nanzoin temple is a beautiful big Buddha temple and pray before going back Day 7: - Wake up early to go to Ainishima Island (Recommend to stop by to buy cat food at the mall before going. We will be very loved by cats) 🥰 - Return from the island in the afternoon, stop to buy souvenirs at Hakata Train Station and pack your bags Day 8: - FUK —>> BKK in the morning at the airport. There are quite a few souvenirs for sale. I recommend buying them at the airport. ✅ 【Recommended accommodation】🏡 Hotel name: Pension Yufugoiki The accommodation looks ordinary from the outside, but the grandparents are very cute. Good service, there is a shared onsen pool but you can lock your own time to soak. ♨️ 💰Average price per person: 35,000.- THB Average price +- a little bit depending on eating and shopping 【Tips】✨ - Buying a JR Pass will be convenient for traveling and booking train tickets Yufuin no mori *You have to wake up and book immediately because it fills up very quickly **When you go to choose a seat on the right side of the train, you will see a beautiful view. ***If you go with many people, choose square seats because the chairs can rotate to each other. - The places to visit will be loose. If you go on a short trip, you can try to organize them on the same day. But most places to travel are about 1 hour by train.

Located just a three-minute walk from Hakata Station and the bus station, this is my second stay at Nishitetsu Croom, which can be described as a super stress-relief hotel. The lobby is decorated with seasonal themes for the Hinamatsuri and Sakura festivals, with comfortable chairs and red umbrellas in the rest area exuding a strong Japanese style. Why is it stress-relieving? The first floor features a large bathhouse with indoor and semi-open-air baths, plus a sauna. After a day of sightseeing, you can soak in the bath and sweat it out. There is also a direct entrance to a convenience store on the first floor, making it easy to grab a late-night snack or a drink. The rooms are equipped with massage chair pads, so after soaking in the hot springs, you can return to your room for a massage and then fall into a deep sleep. The breakfast is also worth praising. The restaurant, which operates as an izakaya during business hours, serves a rich breakfast for guests in the morning. You can enjoy the season's fattest yellowtail sashimi and two types of grilled fish to your heart's content, along with scrambled eggs, ham, fresh salad, Japanese-style stewed dishes, Chikuzen-ni, Korean porridge, and unlimited mentaiko. Interestingly, locals love to eat curry for breakfast. If you wake up early, you can even enjoy another soak in the hot springs before indulging in a delicious breakfast. 📍Address: 〒812-0011 Fukuoka Prefecture, Fukuoka City, Hakata Ward, Hakata Ekimae 1-17-6

#FukuokaSakura Who among my family members understands! This time I came to Fukuoka, I thought I would miss the cherry blossom season, and I felt a little disappointed. But when I went out today, I was directly stunned by the beautiful "spring scenery" in front of me! When I was visiting the Kushida Shrine, I turned my head and suddenly a few cherry blossom trees came into view. The flowers were in full bloom, and the pink petals were sparkling in the sun, which contrasted with the quaint shrine, and the atmosphere was immediately maximized. ✨ I was stunned on the spot at that time, and I felt that my luck value was instantly maxed out. This must be the legendary "encountering love around the corner"! I quickly took out my phone (real shot taken on March 10, no filters 📱) and started taking a lot of photos. Each one was beautiful enough to be used as a wallpaper. When the breeze blows, the petals fall down, as if it were snowing cherry blossoms, which is incredibly romantic. My dears, sometimes the surprises of travel are hidden in these unexpected moments. If you plan to come to Fukuoka soon, you might be able to encounter this beauty~

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I ate at three omakase restaurants in Fukuoka this time. The one below is not expensive among all the omakase restaurants. It has 25 dishes from appetizers, sashimi, boiled food, sushi to desserts. It claims that diners will not leave hungry. The king of shellfish in Hokkaido - Hokkien clams. After being cut and beaten by the chef, the nerves of the clams continue to contract, releasing the sweet taste in them. The umami flavor is further enhanced by pickled wasabi stems and lime juice. Unexpectedly, the last dish was lobster sashimi with Hokkaido horse dung sea urchin, topped with caviar. It was a luxurious dish with the best value for money. The first thing you tasted was the salty fragrance of the caviar, followed by the unique sweetness of the sea urchin, and finally the sweetness of the lobster meat. It was definitely a delicacy that would blow your taste buds away. Next up is the real oysters from Nagasaki Prefecture, which are characterized by a sweet taste without too much seawater flavor. They are eaten with Tosa vinegar jelly to highlight the metallic taste in the aftertaste. Back to the sushi section, the next one to appear is Mahata sushi. The name is unfamiliar, but it is actually seven-banded grouper. The main feature is the firm texture and chewy texture. It is paired with the homemade three-liter pickle, which is delicious and fragrant. The Shirataki sushi is crisp and chewy, and the sweet taste of the geoduck lingers. The black sea bream sushi is grilled and the fat explodes, making it delicious. At the end, there was egg pudding, lobster meat and matsutake soup, sea salt condensed milk strawberry and green tea ice cream. The food was very thoughtful and not sloppy. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

#Fukuoka cherry blossoms For those who like to travel to Japan, come to Fukuoka to see the cherry blossoms! As a Fukuoka citizen for many years, now I will share with you the super dry cherry blossom viewing strategy, no advertising, pure sincere water. From March 22 this year, the cherry blossoms in Fukuoka will be in full bloom. The first recommendation is Oho Park, the most convenient photo spot in the city. There are many kinds of cherry blossoms and they are concentrated. It is built in imitation of the West Lake. The Maizuru Park next door is also good. In addition to a variety of cherry blossoms, there are also chrysanthemums, which match the ancient charm of Fukuoka Castle. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, a picnic under the trees is great. Needless to say, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine has flowers all year round. The cherry blossoms are drooping low in spring. It's great for taking pictures. It's 20 minutes by West Rail from Tenjin Station. There is a 15-minute walk from West Park to Oho Park. In the past, Guo Moruo skipped school for it. The view of Fukuoka Pier Bay from the top of the park is so beautiful that you can't help but blink. Want to see cherry blossoms by the sea? Rent a bicycle at Usunaka-do Waterfront Park and walk through the cherry blossom tunnel. It's so romantic that you can also go into the aquarium to watch the dolphin show. In short, there are so many good places to see cherry blossoms in Fukuoka that you can't count them. Even the cherry blossoms in the small park are very beautiful.

If you visit Fukuoka City in the summer, you must not miss the 'Hakata Gion Yamakasa'; if the timing is not right, you should still visit and pay respects to the guardian deity of Hakata streets, 'Kushida Shrine,' and drink three sips of the legendary Reizuru water, which is said to bring health and longevity: one sip for yourself, two sips for your family, and three sips to bless everyone around you. Another major attraction of Kushida Shrine is the huge and magnificent 'Yamakasa.' This giant and ornate portable shrine is left in the shrine for viewing after the Gion Festival. The decorations on the portable shrine feature samurai related to the Hakata area or characters from ancient Japanese legends and anime, making it quite spectacular. The shrine is conveniently located, just take the subway to the front of Kushida Shrine. You can also visit the Hakata Machiya Folk Museum, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, or take a stroll in Reisen Park. It's both convenient and pleasant.

Beautiful and gentle like falling into a dream Looking forward to the day when the cherry blossoms bloom again Dye the whole city of #Fukuoka pink~🌸✨ Location in my memory~☺️🇯🇵 🌸 Maizuru Park 🌸 Ishibashi Maruyasu's Green Road 🌸 Yumikawa Maruyasu's Green Road 🌸 Kusaba River Sakura Namiki 🌸 Tenjin Central Park If anyone wants to know how beautiful that moment was?...Try to open your mind and look at the pictures from our post📸 I guarantee that you will fall in love with Fukuoka during the cherry blossom season☺️🌸🇯🇵✨ #fukuoka #fukuokatrip #fukuokajapan #fukuokatravel #reviewfukuoka #Fukuokasakura #Kyushusakura #sakurainjapan #Japansakura #Fukuoka #VisitFukuoka #ReviewFukuoka #SakuraInFukuoka #SakuraKyushuu #SakuraJapan #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #FukuokaSakura #SakuraSports #SakuraSeason

#Overseas travel When traveling alone, choosing a safe place to stay is not a choice but a must! I'll share with you a really great hotel that I stayed at while planning my two solo trips to Fukuoka. It's a great value for money place, with prices under 100,000 won per night, and you can walk to many restaurants, cafes, and shopping areas. It's a place where you can eat dinner and go home a little late. I'm very sensitive to cleanliness, so I told you that I visited again.😊 I'm satisfied from start to finish at Reisenkaku Kawabata! It's close to the Nakasu River, and you can walk to Hakata, Tenjin, Yakuin, etc., so you can save on transportation costs. I especially recommend it to those who are on a tight budget.❤️ 📍Reisenkaku Kawabata 8-21 Kamikawabatamachi, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka, 812-0026 Japan

During my 5-day free trip to Fukuoka, Kyushu, I found that the Oriental Hotel is right next to Hakata Station. It only takes two subway stops from the airport to get there. Next to the hotel, there are shopping centers, underground streets, snack bars, and department stores. The daily tour departure point is right at the hotel entrance, which is incredibly convenient. Although the rooms are small, they are very clean and well-equipped. The breakfast is also very rich and offers great value for money. At 7 AM, you can enjoy a buffet with a wide variety of delicious options. At 8 AM, you can hop on a tour bus for a day trip, and return at 6 PM to enjoy gourmet food in the underground street before heading back to the hotel to rest. The lobby even offers free sake and ramen for a late-night snack. I stayed for four consecutive nights without having to move my luggage every day. I will definitely stay at this hotel again the next time I visit Kyushu.

#Overseas travel There are many ways to get from downtown Fukuoka to the small city of Yufuin, but I recommend taking the Yufuin no Mori train, which is the most famous and has both emotion and romance. Of the two, the limited express train and the Yufuin Monori (Mori no Mori) train, I definitely recommend the Monori! I recommend riding it even through a reservation war 🤍 JR homepage member sign-up > Pre-register payment card > Date opens at 10:00 one month before departure date > Select train seat & time with 森 character and reserve > Bring QR ticket and board (If you choose a real ticket, bring the credit card you used to pay and exchange it at Hakata Station ticket office) ▪️Hakata -> Yufuin: 5,160 yen (1 person/one way) 🛋️ The best seats for departure from Hakata to arrival in Yufuin are the 1st car, 1st row C, D The most competitive best seats! And the 1st row seats are the hottest! But if you failed to get the first row, I recommend you to quickly reserve any seat on the c,d lines of the first car. I sat in 9 c,d, and I was satisfied with the romantic feeling and saw the waterfall. ㅎㅎ I didn't really feel like I had to? The first row? Instead, I recommend you to definitely get the first car! ㅎㅎ 🍱 Buy a bento at Hakata Station Ekibento before boarding, and then ride Yufuin no Mori and have fun eating. ㅎㅎ There are various types of lunch boxes and there are quite a few Ekibento stores, but if you go to the biggest store, you'll get the most types, so go to the biggest one! Aside from the bento, I went to Family Mart's Mentaiko Mayo Onigiri Rice Ball Wangchangsa, so please eat that with the Jebeol Bento.. plz. And there are many bakeries in Hakata Station, so make sure to take some desserts with you. 🥐 #Japan

Sumiyoshi Shrines are scattered throughout Japan, but the oldest one is located in Hakata, Fukuoka, boasting a history of over 1800 years. It is considered one of the 'Three Great Sumiyoshi Shrines' along with those in Osaka and Shimonoseki. The Hakata Sumiyoshi Shrine enshrines three deities: Sokotsutsuo-no-Mikoto, Nakatsutsuo-no-Mikoto, and Uwatsutsuo-no-Mikoto, who are believed to bring good fortune, ward off disasters, and ensure maritime safety. Sumiyoshi Shrine, along with Hakozaki Hachiman-gu, is regarded as one of the top shrines in Chikuzen Province. In addition to the three Sumiyoshi deities, it also enshrines Amaterasu Omikami and Empress Jingu. The shrine grounds feature eight smaller shrines, including the well-known Miketsu Ebisu Shrine, Sukunahikona Shrine, and Inari Shrine. It is said that touching different parts of the Ebisu statue of the Seven Lucky Gods within the shrine brings different blessings: face (family safety), belly (health), sea bream (business prosperity/luck), fishing rod (traffic safety/skill improvement). Touching all parts is believed to grant all blessings. Located in the city, Sumiyoshi Shrine is about a 15-minute walk from Hakata Station. Nearby is the beautiful Japanese garden Rakusuien, with an entrance fee of ¥100. You can also enjoy a cup of matcha at the tea house, making for a relaxing visit.

#Overseas travel President Hotel Hakata is located within 1 minute of a convenience store and 10 minutes on foot from the subway station. It is famous for its cost-effectiveness, with a nightly rate of 70,000-80,000 won. There is also a convenience store right across the street from the accommodation, which was the most satisfying. 😌 If you are traveling alone, I recommend a hotel with cost-effectiveness + station access rather than a capsule hotel! . . 📍President Hotel Hakata Japan 〒812-0011 Fukuoka, Hakata Ward, Hakata Ekimae, 1 Chome−23−5 1F #Japan #Ho-cation

Start your Fukuoka City Walk from Canal City Hakata and delve into the charm of this city. Canal City Hakata, a large-scale commercial complex integrating shopping, dining, and entertainment, is like a shining pearl. Its unique brick-red exterior houses a meandering artificial canal lined with shops. After shopping, find a canal-side restaurant to savor local delicacies while enjoying the canal view. Leave Canal City and head to Kushida Shrine, a historic and important shrine in Fukuoka. Step inside to admire the simple and solemn crimson buildings and the giant camphor tree with its lush branches and leaves. During the annual Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival, the shrine bustles with activity as locals carry Yamakasa floats, showcasing the powerful influence of traditional culture.

Japan's cherry blossom season is approaching, and it's the perfect time to visit Fukuoka for cherry blossom viewing! Compared to popular cities like Tokyo and Osaka, Fukuoka has relatively fewer crowds, making the cherry blossom viewing experience more relaxed and enjoyable. If you want to see cherry blossoms, Maizuru Park is definitely the best choice. The scenery is top-notch, and the best part is that the admission is free! However, during this visit, the cherry blossoms were not fully in bloom yet, which was a bit of a pity. But looking at the cherry trees in the park, you can imagine how spectacular it will be when they are in full bloom! 📍Address: 1 Jonai, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, 810-0043, Japan In the park, we also encountered several couples taking wedding photos under the cherry blossom trees, which was incredibly beautiful. Many locals were also picnicking under the trees, and some were even playing mahjong directly under the cherry blossom trees🤣 They really know how to enjoy life. Later, we went to Ohori Park, where the cherry blossoms were blooming even better than in Maizuru Park. It's definitely worth a visit! 🚗Transportation We chose to take a taxi to get there, which was convenient and fast. For the return trip, we took the subway, and Ohori Park Station is directly connected to the park, making transportation super convenient!
