Fukuoka City Museum

Os filhotes de foca e os golfinhos são muito fofos e inteligentes, me apaixonei por eles e assisti ao show duas vezes! Além deles, há também tubarões, pinguins, tartarugas e muitas outras espécies marinhas. O ingresso não é caro e ainda há uma loja de souvenirs. Quem vier a Fukuoka, não deixe de visitar o Marine World!

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!

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.

Utilizei o ônibus de turismo panorâmico (Fukuoka Open Top Bus) para conhecer as principais atrações turísticas da cidade. Foi uma experiência divertida e enriquecedora, pois pude admirar os diversos pontos turísticos de Fukuoka confortavelmente sentado no ônibus e ainda ouvir as explicações. No entanto, no dia da viagem o clima estava muito quente, o que tornou a experiência um pouco cansativa devido às características de um ônibus aberto. Mesmo assim, foi ótimo poder visitar vários pontos turísticos em pouco tempo e sentir a atmosfera geral da cidade de Fukuoka. Recomendo este passeio, especialmente para quem visita Fukuoka pela primeira vez, pois permite conhecer os principais pontos turísticos de uma só vez. Se for utilizado com um clima um pouco mais fresco, acredito que a experiência do tour será ainda mais satisfatória.

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.

Experiência muito surpreendente, mas faltam muitas orientações para novos clientes. Quase saímos após a primeira parte e duvidamos do motivo pelo qual as pessoas conseguem ficar mais de 15 minutos. Finalmente encontramos o local de entrada para a próxima zona, que é muito divertida, assim como a 2ª e a 3ª zona.

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! 👍🏻
