Travel Vlog: From Korea to Fukuoka – A Calm Yet Inspiring Arrival in Japan

Good morning is “Ohayou Gozaimasu” in Japanese, and that’s exactly how this travel story begins. The journey starts not in Japan, but in South Korea, at the bustling Incheon International Airport. The destination is one of the best travel spots in the world—Japan, more precisely, the charming Fukuoka Prefecture in Kitakyushu.
The flight takes off at 13:45 local time aboard Korean Air KE 789, departing from Gate 248. The airplane experience itself is part of the travel magic. A reserved window seat, 42H, gives an uninterrupted view of the skies and clouds, perfect for enjoying the warm touch of the morning sun while flying across the sea.
Passengers are treated to an in-flight meal that showcases comfort and flavor. The main course is a Paris Baguette-style egg sandwich, accompanied by a selection of beverages including Asahi beer, orange juice, coke, and freshly brewed coffee. It’s a subtle but memorable start to what Japan has in store.
Landing at Fukuoka International Airport at 15:15 brings an immediate shift in atmosphere. Unlike the fast pace of Korean city life, the arrival welcomes travelers with serenity and order. The airport offers clear signages pointing towards the taxi reservation area. These taxis, while having a vintage and classic exterior, are equipped with advanced technologies inside. Monitors are installed for both drivers and passengers, adding a futuristic contrast to their old-school charm.
As the taxi leaves the airport, the journey passes through Kitakyushu Urban Expressway, also known as the Kitakyushu Urban EXPWY. One notable difference from the toll systems in Indonesia is the automated toll gates—no tapping, no stopping, just smooth drive-throughs. It sets the tone for Japan’s subtle efficiency in daily life.
Reaching Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture is more than just arriving at a place. It’s stepping into a unique world of order, calmness, and cultural richness. Travelers are instantly immersed in Japanese simplicity, where even everyday activities feel special. Ordering food becomes a delightful experience thanks to Japan’s quirky and often futuristic vending systems. From touchscreens to talking machines, the act of buying snacks or drinks turns into a fun cultural interaction.
Convenience continues as local stores present shelves of unfamiliar yet fascinating snacks and beverages. Japan’s vending machine culture is everywhere—offering hot coffee, cold drinks, and even warm meals. And if anyone needs cash, ATMs that support foreign cards are widely available, ready to dispense Japanese yen with ease.
This travel vlog is not just a documentation of a flight. It’s an experience that starts from the clouds and descends into the heart of Japanese everyday wonders. From window seat views and airline meals to classic taxis and futuristic vending machines, the vlog brings a narrative of inspiration, excitement, and discovery.
For anyone planning to travel to Japan or curious about what makes Japan a favorite destination worldwide, this journey is a glimpse into the little things that make traveling not just about going somewhere, but feeling something.
