Canal City Hakata

I signed up for this tour because it allowed me to thoroughly explore Karato Market, Mojiko, Kokura Castle, and Dazaifu all in one day during my trip to Fukuoka! Since I was traveling alone, I was even more pleased that it was a tour I could join as a single participant 😊. When I actually went, I noticed there were more families and couples than I expected! At first, I was worried it might feel a bit awkward being alone, but once I joined, it wasn't uncomfortable at all, haha. I think solo travelers can join without any hesitation. It was really fun at Karato Market, where I could pick and choose various sushi to eat 🍣. There were so many options, which made choosing enjoyable, and I really got to experience the atmosphere of a local Japanese market. Mojiko had such a beautiful, retro vibe! Especially in front of the banana statue, the guide even took photos for me, which I really appreciated as a solo traveler 📸. When you're traveling alone, it can be surprisingly difficult to get good photos even in beautiful places, but thanks to the guide, I was able to get some great souvenir photos from my trip, haha. Kokura Castle and Dazaifu were also included in the itinerary, allowing me to see major tourist attractions all at once. I also liked that I could shop at Don Quijote! When traveling in Japan, there are so many things I want to buy, and not having to carry my shopping bags around meant I could comfortably enjoy the rest of my itinerary 🛍️. Finally, being able to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine allowed me to truly soak in the atmosphere of a Japanese trip ⛩️. If I had tried to visit these places alone using public transportation, moving around would have been cumbersome, and planning the itinerary wouldn't have been easy. But with the tour, it was much more convenient to see multiple places. Plus, having a Korean-speaking guide made it easy to understand the explanations! Joining alone wasn't daunting at all, and it turned out to be even more fun than I expected. Next time, I'd love to do it again with my friends as a group~! 🥰 I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy a fulfilling day trip from Fukuoka! 🇯🇵🍣✨

The kids said it looked boring at first, but once they got on, they loved it and said it was so healing. They said it felt like stepping into the Japanese anime Demon Slayer. I can still vividly picture them waving and greeting people as they passed by.

Although the lottery reservation system two weeks in advance made me think this place would be packed, I found upon arrival that the crowd control was excellent. There was no pressure from long queues, making for a very comfortable visiting experience. While Fukuoka Tower may not be the tallest building we've ever conquered, the panoramic views from this glass tower are truly on par with any famous landmark. The sunlight glinting off the distant ocean, city buildings, and elevated bridges, combined with the lush greenery nearby and stunning cumulonimbus clouds, offers a breathtaking vista of the entire city of Fukuoka, which is truly refreshing. Visiting the tallest building in every new city is a travel tradition my child and I have always maintained. Watching him excitedly stride across the floor in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows at Fukuoka Tower, I felt this habit added another wonderful parent-child memory. If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka, I highly recommend adding Fukuoka Tower to your itinerary. Remember to make your reservation online in advance (it's a lottery system); good views are worth waiting for and even more worth experiencing in person.

Buying tickets online in advance is very convenient, as the on-site ticket lines are very long. When the staff saw that I had an electronic voucher, they told me to go straight to the entrance to scan the QR code, and getting in was very fast. The kids had a great time. We bought ice cream with a souvenir cup and chose the limited-edition design, which the kids loved. Since it was close to Halloween, there was a stamp rally event where kids could scare the staff to earn a stamp; after collecting five stamps, they could go to the information desk to exchange them for a large sticker, and the kids were thrilled. In a pink shop (I don't know the name of the shop, but it sells little girls' accessories, shopping bags, etc.), with a purchase of 2,500 yen or more, children could get their nails painted for free, which made them very happy. The nail polish washed off pretty much after taking a bath. An unforgettable memory, highly recommended.

It was my first time visiting teamLab and I was totally blown away. There are 7 different zones to explore, each with its own unique vibe, and even some fun little games to play. Anyone who hasn't experienced something like this before should definitely check it out!

mojitco view point and the visits to the museum , Kokura castle. we will visit the mojitco museum in the future if time allows.

Although there isn't a Korean guide, some staff members can speak a little Korean. It's also rare to get the chance to step onto the field in Korea unless you're a season ticket holder, so this experience is quite appealing for the 17,000 won price point. The EZO BOSS building is across from PayPay Dome, and the DOME TOUR RECEPTION entrance is on the 3rd floor (though it's actually right across from PayPay Dome Exit 4, so you can just go in there and show your voucher; exchanging it isn't difficult). For transportation, if you're taking the subway from Hakata Station or Tenjin Station, take the Airport Line, get off at Tojinmachi, and exit from Tojinmachi Exit 3. It's about a 15-minute walk, but it's not too long, so it's a worthwhile tour. If you like baseball, I highly recommend visiting. Especially since Lee Dae-ho played for SoftBank during the 2014-2015 season, it's definitely worth a visit.

Great facilities and staff could actually communicate in English! We managed to tag along an English group during the firefighter job. it was so good to understand every word from the beginning to the end. Staff were very patient and energetic. We happened to go in my daughter’s birthday month. Staff at different jobs would write on her birthday card. It was a sweet and special experience. Make sure you go early to get a number card for entry. The earlier you get in, the easier to secure jobs you like. We went for the 2nd session and my kids could experience 4 to 5 different jobs.

The staff was very friendly, spoke good English, and directed everything clearly. Many of the pigs were very friendly and immediately came up to me to crawl up and lay down on me. The staff gave me a blanket so the pigs wouldn’t dirty my clothes, which was nice, but some pigs decided they liked curling up under the blanket. Of course, I wasn’t bothered by that so I didn’t try to stop them, but the staff did proactively try to prevent it in case I did mind. Very professional staff and very cute pigs! They also have promos inside if you follow their Instagram. The building itself you have to go follow the signs and then take an elevator to the marked floor, but it was easy to follow even without speaking any Japanese.
