Canal City Hakata

Eu contratei este passeio porque era possível conhecer o Mercado Karato, Mojiko, o Castelo de Kokura e Dazaifu em um único dia durante minha viagem a Fukuoka! Como estou viajando sozinho(a), gostei ainda mais do fato de ser um tour que aceita participantes individuais 😊 Quando cheguei lá, percebi que havia muito mais famílias e casais do que eu imaginava! No começo, fiquei um pouco preocupado(a) por estar sozinho(a) e achei que seria meio desconfortável, mas, na hora, não foi incômodo algum haha. Acho que quem viaja sozinho(a) pode participar sem nenhuma preocupação. No Mercado Karato, foi muito divertido poder escolher e comer vários tipos de sushi na hora 🍣 Havia muitas opções, então foi divertido escolher o que comer, e deu para sentir de verdade a atmosfera de um mercado local japonês. O clima retrô de Mojiko é lindo demais! Principalmente porque o(a) guia tirou fotos minhas em frente à estátua da banana, o que foi de grande ajuda para mim que viajo sozinho(a) 📸 Quando a gente viaja só, é meio difícil tirar boas fotos nos lugares bonitos, mas graças a isso consegui ótimas fotos de lembrança da viagem haha. O Castelo de Kokura e Dazaifu também faziam parte do roteiro, o que permitiu conhecer os principais pontos turísticos de uma vez só, e eu também gostei muito de poder fazer compras na Don Quijote! Em viagens ao Japão, a gente sempre quer comprar várias coisas, mas como não precisei ficar carregando as compras o tempo todo, pude aproveitar o restante do passeio com muito mais conforto 🛍️ Por fim, também foi possível conhecer o Santuário Dazaifu Tenmangu, o que me permitiu absorver ainda mais a verdadeira atmosfera de uma viagem ao Japão ⛩️ Se eu tivesse que visitar vários lugares sozinho(a) usando transporte público, a locomoção seria complicada e planejar o roteiro não seria nada fácil. Fazer o tour facilitou muito a visita a vários locais com total comodidade. Além disso, ter um guia que fala coreano tornou tudo mais fácil para entender as explicações! Participar sozinho(a) não foi nem um pouco constrangedor e o passeio foi muito mais divertido do que eu esperava. Na próxima vez, quero muito fazer de novo, mas em grupo com amigos~! 🥰 Recomendo muito para quem quer aproveitar ao máximo uma viagem aos arredores de Fukuoka em apenas um dia! 🇯🇵🍣✨

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.

Comprar ingressos online com antecedência é muito prático. A fila para comprar no local estava enorme, mas quando a funcionária viu o meu voucher eletrônico, disse logo para eu ir direto à entrada escanear o QR Code, e a entrada foi super rápida. As crianças se divertiram muito. Compramos o sorvete com a opção de copo comemorativo de edição limitada, e os pequenos adoraram. Como estava perto do Halloween, havia uma atividade de pontos: as crianças precisavam assustar os funcionários para ganhar um ponto, e ao juntar cinco pontos podiam trocá-los por um adesivo grande no balcão de atendimento, o que deixou as crianças super felizes. Em uma loja rosa (não sei o nome, mas vende acessórios para meninas, sacolas de compras, etc.), ao gastar 2.500 ienes, as crianças ganhavam esmalte de graça, e elas adoraram — embora o esmalte tenha saído quase todo depois do banho. Foi uma lembrança inesquecível, recomendo muito.

Although booking two weeks in advance via a lottery system might make one think it would be packed, upon arrival, we found the crowd control to be excellent. There was no pressure from crowded queues, making the sightseeing experience very comfortable. While Fukuoka Tower may not be the tallest building we've ever conquered, standing in this glass tower, the panoramic views are truly on par with any famous landmark. Sunlight glistens on the distant sea, city buildings, and elevated bridges, while nearby, lush green trees, coupled with magnificent cumulonimbus clouds, offer a breathtaking view 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. This time at Fukuoka Tower, watching him excitedly stride across the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, I felt this habit added another beautiful parent-child memory. If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka, I highly recommend including Fukuoka Tower in your itinerary. Remember to make reservations online in advance (it's a lottery system). Good scenery is worth waiting for, and even more so, worth experiencing in person.

Minha primeira vez no teamLab foi simplesmente incrível! O lugar conta com 7 zonas para visitação, cada uma completamente diferente da outra, e ainda inclui alguns joguinhos interativos. Quem nunca viveu essa experiência precisa conferir!

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

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.

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 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.
