Fukuoka

Fukuoka is a lively city on Kyushu Island in southern Japan. I was born and grew up an hour north in Kita-Kyushu City until 10 years old, so Fukuoka was our big city adventure spot. It felt huge and exciting, always buzzing with activity. Nowadays, it’s not just popular with us locals but also with tourists from Taiwan, Korea, and China, since it’s just a short flight away for them. The city has a cool mix of old and new,

It is the largest city in Kyushu and is considered one of the country’s most livable cities. Fukuoka has a unique blend of modernity and tradition, offering us a chance to experience the best of both worlds. One of the city’s most famous attractions is the Fukuoka Tower, where we enjoyed stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea. The tower is a popular spot during the evening when visitors can enjoy the illuminated cityscape. In addition to the tower, we found several other attractions, including historical temples and shrines, bustling shopping districts, and relaxing hot springs.

Fukuoka is also renowned for its cuisine, which is a mix of local specialties and international flavors. We can savor delicious ramen noodles, fresh seafood, and mouth-watering street food at local markets and restaurants. Fukuoka is also known for its vibrant nightlife, with numerous bars and clubs catering to various tastes. We loved the experience at Nakasu Yatai Yokocho.

Overall, Fukuoka is a lively city that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, food, shopping, or nightlife, Fukuoka has it all, making it a must-visit destination in Japan.
