This was our first time to book professional photography experience. We were very happy during 1 hour photo shooting. The photographer is very nice and advices us how to perform. Once we have got the photo, they are very lovely. Truly appreciated that.

The driver drove very smoothly; I could even look at my phone in the car without feeling dizzy. He was also punctual and recommended great places to eat. Most importantly, the driver was tall, young, and very handsome!

During my 3-night, 4-day trip to Fukuoka with my mom, I was looking for activities on our third day, which was entirely dedicated to Tenjin. I found a yukata/kimono experience and decided to sign up! I initially considered a kimono, but since it was June 1st, they switched to yukatas. It's definitely hot in Japan, so I think the slightly thinner yukata was a better choice. I booked the first slot at 9 AM and arrived a little early, about five minutes before, but they said the doors wouldn't open until exactly 9 AM, haha. So, while waiting, I saw a sign on the door advising to use the restroom beforehand, which I did. We then entered a little after 9 AM when they opened. I chose the Premium Deluxe Plan, and for the yukata, I picked from the Premium and 'One Star' options. Surprisingly, the 'One Star' ones seemed a bit prettier, so my mom and I each chose one from there. For hair, as per blog reviews, 'Two Star' options were available. I had already looked at some styles, so I went with 'Two Star' option #1. Since we were among the first three groups, we quickly put on the white inner garment, and then they did our hair. It was a braided style pulled to the side, and they asked which side I preferred, so I asked for the left. My hair turned out so incredibly beautiful that I was extremely satisfied. After the hair was done, we could choose hair ornaments. There were some free, round, candy-like ones, and then some prettier flower ones that cost an additional 500 yen. I just went with the free round one, haha. Still, I was satisfied! They also fitted the yukata well to my height, and for bags, the free options weren't particularly pretty, just plain, so I didn't pay extra. For shoes, I would have worn wooden clogs if they had been a bit softer, but they were completely hard wood, so we just wore our sneakers and walked around, making sure our feet weren't visible in photos. Also, it was so hot that we were going to use our own parasols, but then we thought, 'Since we're doing this, let's use theirs!' so we rented one for 500 yen, and I'm satisfied with it, haha. It matched the outfit so well and looked great in photos! We started at 9 AM, and after everything, we finished around 10 AM. We didn't plan on wearing it for too long, so we returned it before 12 PM. The photos turned out so pretty, and it was such a unique experience! I highly recommend it! 👍🏻

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.

The tour guide Mr. Cho is an amazing person. He is so happy-go-lucky and always ready to help everyone. He waits for you if everybody is rushing and you are left behind. He takes care of the group very well, and we had an amazing day. The tour is organized very well, and all the points are worth visiting.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but teamLab Forest exceeded my expectations. The interactive displays made me feel like I was part of the artwork, and every area had its own unique charm. The visual effects were incredible, and it was easy to lose track of time while exploring. It’s a great mix of entertainment, art, and technology. One of the most memorable attractions I visited in Fukuoka!

The Little Pig Experience Museum conveys the concept of life. It's more convenient to book in advance on Klook. Many of the piglets have grown up quite a bit, but animal lovers will still enjoy interacting with the animals.
