Fukuoka is such a vibrant city! We loved wandering through Ohori Park and then indulging in some incredible tonkotsu ramen at a tiny shop in Nakasu. The yatai food stalls are a must-do experience, especially at night.
A really pleasant visit. The food scene is fantastic, especially the seafood at Yanagibashi Rengo Market. While the city is modern, we enjoyed the historic feel of Kushida Shrine. It was a bit too hot for extensive walking, but still worth it.
Fukuoka exceeded our expectations! We spent a day exploring Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, which was absolutely beautiful. The street food around Canal City Hakata was also a highlight, particularly the mentaiko.
What a delightful surprise Fukuoka turned out to be! The ramen is legendary, of course, but don't miss the chance to try motsunabe. We also enjoyed a relaxing ferry trip to Nokonoshima Island Park for stunning flower displays.
