Join me on my latest solo travel adventure as I finally make it to Fukuoka, Japan! Despite the rainy weather, the city is bustling with the beauty of cherry blossom season. In this vlog, I’ll take you through my exciting day exploring some of Fukuoka’s most iconic spots.
First, I dive into the culinary delight of the famous Ichiran Ramen, a must-try for any foodie visiting Japan. Then, I venture to Fukuoka Castle, where history and stunning views await. Ohori Park is next on the list, offering a serene escape amidst the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
No trip to Fukuoka is complete without a visit to Canal City, a massive shopping and entertainment complex that has something for everyone. Join me as I navigate through the rain and uncover the charm and culture of Fukuoka.

[Music] [Music] I really hope that this is the last day raining first and last day because I had rained before but it’s so heavy rain I think the umbrella won’t help me not sure if it’s windy tomorrow it’s supp to windy not sure how it is now so but I don’t have it though I have it far because so I have to get on the bus uh and then I have to walk 10 minutes let’s see maybe it stops on I’m for custom okay I just downloaded the taxi app go uh which I think is similar to Uber uh here in Japan and I checked so it would be about €1 to go to the hotel so I probably will do that but I will check how the rain is once I’m out there and see how bad it is maybe it’s okay but yeah I can’t go there oh there’s one bu directly I think um but for most of the connections I have to walk 10 minutes or something and then I’m probably going to be soaked so okay time to go off the boat yeah it’s it’s raining heads to dogs I’m in Japan look so um immigration of Customs went fine uh they had a couple of crush johs but all good so now I have to take the escalator down apparently to get to the taxi I want to get some fresh air getting used to this big luggage okay at the end I decided to take the bus because the taxi wasn’t coming and the bus was there so now I have to walk 10 minutes it’s raining obviously it’s not super cold I have these uh I don’t know what it’s called the bus card for Japan on my phone I could do that before I left so and I charged it with 1,000 yen I have no idea how much I paid now we’ll check that later on but I don’t think it’s too much uh maybe one or two your I assume maybe a little bit more but yeah now I have to find my way uh but I think I just have to go all the way straight so I will be walking for a while obviously I cannot film with this setup well maybe I [Music] try yay I made it [Music] okay I made it to the room the lobby looked super fancy the room it’s also super clean but very tiny and again no window uh I think I have to start booking uh better accommodations because I really need a window in the room let’s check out the bathroom all right I think I will just head out to eat something I guess it’s 7:00 now um and I will quickly find something to eat because it’s still raining outside and then don’t stay up too long okay [Music] okay so apparently I’m in a very famous uh Ramen spot I had to wait 10 minutes outside in the way sign and then they assign you everything order a front you pay and they get you to this little table uh and then you have to fill in a sheet what you would like to eat um everyone has this little box I think it’s not really made for multiple people I could hang my jacket behind me and and now I’m waiting for the I took the menu and the beer and I think it was about3 thank you thank you anything okay now the meat [Music] okay so I used Google to translate this and apparently you should uh first taste the soup and noodles eventually before mixing everything up and blend it so that you can really taste all of it uh and also taste the harmony of all of the different ingrediences and also it has these boxes because they don’t want they want you to really focus on the taste um without worrying what anyone else can see and that’s also why they cover everything interesting all right and then and that’s also why uh it’s just such a quick turnar around because people just eat and leave again um I liked it and it was a really cool experience I didn’t know what I got myself into it um um so what a the prise of my first night here in Japan so still waining but actually I think that’s pretty cozy that it’s raining um it’s already qu to 9 uh I will quickly get some water and then head back to the hotel because I need to figure out what I will do tomorrow okay I’m at a 7eleven and in case I don’t want to go out eat every night here are some snacks that [Music] can next and of course they have sweets okay super huge water bottle for 76 cents I believe and now back to the hotel good morning from paa so this is my first uh wheel day here in Japan and I’m going to explore the city and my first stop is the old castle or the ruins of the old castle um so let’s go so this is the place where I went last night I’m not sure what I think about the breakfast habit of these people it’s very popular [Music] look at this so people always spread out they don’t stand too close to each other when waiting for the green light very polite people here okay now I also get some money I withdraw I withdrew 10,000 Yen which is about €60 let’s see how far I can get with this I’m planning on always paying by card um so let’s see for the next 3 weeks if I need more cash or enough another thing I didn’t know is that they drive on the left side of the street I did not know that Pence I think I don’t know it for many countries uh so for me that’s always a surprise on what uh side of the street they are driving and then yesterday when I took the bus with my big luggage um what I didn’t know is that I had to get off all the way in the front so and the bus was packed and I was the only one getting off at that stop uh that was a little bit uncomfortable I was like sorry sorry sorry sorry um yeah so getting off all all the way in the front then you have to tap again to tap out with your card uh so it could calculate how much the fair is yeah look at [Music] this okay so here is the festival now I did not know so let’s check out the festival okay I think I will leave quickly for now from this Festival because there’s a lot of food options and I really want to try them later on uh so first I’m going to look at the runes and then I will get some f chip probably [Music] [Music] back [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and this concludes the castle uh it was very nice to walk here with the cherry blossom seeing all these old murals um yes if you want to have a nice nice walk here relaxing maybe get some picnic you can do that here my next stop is right next to the castle which is the park Ori park I think it’s called apparently was very nice to [Music] relax so I’m walking now to the lake which is in this park and everywhere here you have food stands I probably won’t run out of food today um the weather turned a little so it starts slightly dropping um but I know that it’s Starbucks I will probably end up in the Starbucks and have [Music] coffee okay it stopped raining but I decided to head back to the hotel because it is pretty cold so I’m going to get my sweater um and then see what I’m going to do next so I decided to go again to the ishan uh because that’s only place I know it’s open in the afternoon uh I choose a different location the other one was fairly close uh I choose uh the ingredients a littleit little bit different this time uh made it very rich but only a light broke uh and uh very spicy so I finished my quiet lunch late lunch I think it’s 3:00 now something 3:30 I don’t know um questioning really every everyone goes there in the morning uh and I now in the afternoon immediately got a spot so there it was empty um so yeah and because it’s not so nice outside I’m here at tiin I think it’s called um in the underground more and check out some shops even though I’m not too much into shopping right now uh as I did all of my Korean skin care shopping but well what else to do and maybe I find a nice coffee shop so I can continue reading my book [Music] okay I don’t feel much like sh so I found exit there’s exits everywhere and Subways everywhere it’s really big wall and here’s an exert and I think uh above ground should be a couple of coffee shops I can check out still gray and windy when I come [Music] out so I ended up in the shopping mall again because it turned out few shops are here and I think there are multiple levels so I’m a little bit confused where to go next and outside it always starts raining again it’s cold it’s not nice I don’t know today I’m not feeling it um so I tried walking around here uh but it seems hard to find my way out I don’t know how to get out of here so this is the situation I have no idea hard to get out yay at least I found a window and I know where on what floor I am at least so now I’m almost out of here I’m getting really upset because I don’t find my way out I thought I did um oh I found the Starbucks now which I was looking an hour ago um oh maybe here it’s like you think you found your R out but then you don’t but now I have it I think Freedom out and where to go next I try this way oh look there would have been stairs that was very confusing so I said uh I wasn’t feeling it today and it’s really cold outside so I decided to go back to the hotel because they have a happy hour with free beer from 5:30 to 6:30 so this is what I did and I think now I’m going to go to Canal Street Canal shopping mall or something um to end the day over there uh which is a 10minute walk from here so it’s fine and then uh I did some research already what I could see tomorrow here for kroer so yeah actually it seems like the sky cleared up and we had a nice Sunset I missed this I found some really nice food stores next to the canal nice and here we have Canal City [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that was fun only a couple of minutes but all the music and light and the little show got me into super good mood I liked it I enjoyed it so I believe the way you should do for Coker is that you go during the day to the outer skirts and in the evening you return to the city for a nice dinner uh I think that’s how you’re supposed to do it and I think that’s how I’m going to do it tomorrow so I will visit I think a shrine I have to check now what exactly I’m doing there are multiple options to go outside of the City or more in the outer skirts um so I’m probably going to go to a shrine and then have a nice dinner here in the evening hopefully the weather is better I mean now it’s fine but during the day it was really cloudy and sometimes rainy
