Things to do in Momochi Seaside Park

Tour guide Lin received us, very meticulous and gentle. It was a last-minute trip, but it turned out to be unexpectedly good. The scenery is very good, there are 6 attractions in a day, and the itinerary is well-arranged.👍 He takes pictures of me when I travel alone. Knowing that I wanted to go to Yufuin the next day, he kindly arranged my itinerary, and it was a very touching day, very pleasant.😁

AUG. 13, 2026 ✈️ Let's go to Fukuoka ✖️ Marine World Uminonakamichi Good morning! Today, August 13th, is definitely the crucial turning point of this trip‼️ As early as August 6th, when I saw two typhoons forming, 'White Dolphin' had no impact. Although Typhoon No. 15 'Chan-hom' swept across mainland Japan, it seemed to be heading north, so I initially wasn't concerned. However, the day before departure, I checked the weather, and it looked like the path on August 13th might hit Northern Kyushu. I had already prepared myself for a rainy outing today... But to my surprise! On August 8th, I checked the typhoon path again, and the storm circle had shifted directly north, completely missing Northern Kyushu! Today, we were greeted with a super sunny day! Although the UV rays were so strong I could barely open my eyes, the sun is always better than rain. Long live sunny days! ☀️✨ Our first stop today is Marine World Uminonakamichi, and our luck with the itinerary has been incredible: 🦭 Seal Show: We just made it for the 10:40 AM show, the 'only one' of the day – super lucky! 🐧 Penguin Feeding and Explanation: At 11:50 AM, we saw penguins running wildly and even slipping and falling while chasing food. They were so cute it melted our hearts‼️ 🐬 Dolphin Show: The incredibly powerful dolphin sounds combined with their cool surfing tricks were truly amazing (◐‿◑) However, it was really, really hot today! After much consideration, we decisively decided to skip the vast outdoor Uminonakamichi Park and head straight to Tenjin for some air-conditioned shopping! 🛍️

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.

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!

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.

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! 👍🏻

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.

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

The staff were incredibly friendly and skilled! The location was also perfect, right in front of the Tabito bus stop and Dazaifu Station. The hair styling, in particular, was truly artistic. When upgrading to premium on-site (which includes hair styling and more yukata options for women, but no hair styling for men), there was an additional charge of approximately 5,500 yen for two women. Even short hair could be styled! Please note that if you have a larger build or hips, your yukata design choices might be limited due to sizing. As of early June, wearing a yukata was comfortably warm and pleasant!
