Fukuoka is the largest city on the island of Kyushu, which is Japan’s most southern island. It is the 10th largest in Japan.
Because of its closeness to the Asian mainland (closer to Seoul in Sth Korea than to Tokyo), Fukuoka has been an important harbour city for many centuries.
It was a short flight from Incheon in Sth Korea to Fukuoka and we had two night booked so we could have good look around this city.
To get from the airport to our accommodation we needed to catch a public bus and subway train, plus a walk. We booked for 2 nights at WBF Fukuoka.
The price wasn’t too bad at $152nz for 2 nights without breakfast. We are getting used to the smaller hotel rooms in Asia. It is an art form to position your packs so as to be able to get from the bed to the bathroom but the rooms were clean, quiet, modern and comfortable.
There are some real gems to wander around and we were amazed at the Cherry Blossoms as we arrived at the best time to view the best of them.
Featured in the video are some of the attractions we visited:
Canal City
Asahi Brewery Tour
Fukuoka Castle Ruins
Cherry Blossoms
Maizuru Park
Ohori Park
Hakata Ramen
