Fukuoka City Museum

The baby seals and dolphins are so cute and smart, I totally fell in love with them and even watched their show twice! Aside from them, there are also sharks, penguins, turtles, and many other aquatic animals. The admission fee is very reasonable, and there is a souvenir shop as well. Anyone visiting Fukuoka should definitely not forget to check out Marine World.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I took the Fukuoka Open Top Bus to tour the major attractions in the city. It was a fun and informative experience, as I was able to comfortably sit back, take in the various sights of Fukuoka, and listen to the commentary. However, the weather on the day of my trip was extremely hot, which made it a bit challenging given the open-top nature of the bus. Even so, it was great to be able to see multiple sights in a short amount of time and get a feel for the overall atmosphere of downtown Fukuoka. I especially recommend this program for first-time visitors to Fukuoka, as it allows you to see all the major city landmarks at once. If you take this tour when the weather is a bit cooler, I think it will be an even more satisfying experience.

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! 👍🏻
