Ichiran Ramen Tower

First, our tour guide, Xiao Min, was incredibly attentive and responsible, making every effort to care for each guest. When it rained, we were worried about the slippery steps leading to the torii gate for photos. Xiao Min noticed this and immediately guided us, personally leading us back to an easier, alternative route. She was very proactive and never lazy. Another point worth commending is that she saw a couple in our group monopolizing a scenic spot for a long time, causing a long queue. Xiao Min proactively urged them to move along, ensuring everyone had a chance to take photos. Regarding the itinerary: three aspects of the tour were quite disappointing. 1 - Lunch was too early. We had just finished breakfast at 8 AM, and then by 10:30-11:00 AM, we were at Ichiran eating again. Moreover, the time spent at Ichiran was too long, and there wasn't much to explore. 2 - Yanagawa: The boatman was excellent and created a lively atmosphere. Unfortunately, the rain was very heavy at the time. Driving 1.5 hours to get there was not worth it. I suggest that the itinerary should be adjusted based on the rain conditions, rather than just whether the boat company is willing to operate. 3 - The stop at Dazaifu was only exactly 1 hour. This included getting off the bus, using the restroom, buying Umegae Mochi, browsing 2-3 small shops, and then returning to the bus. Since we were traveling with parents and couldn't walk quickly, there simply wasn't enough time to walk into the temple. Fearing we wouldn't make it back in time, we turned around at the end of the street and didn't dare go further. Dazaifu actually has coffee shops and small stores, and I personally believe 1.5-2 hours should be allocated, especially since 30 minutes were set aside earlier just to photograph a torii gate. 60 minutes for the entire Dazaifu visit is simply too short.

Although it was hot, it was a satisfying tour. Thanks to the well-organized tour, I had a pleasant trip. I always include a bus tour for one day during my trips to Japan, and I highly recommend this one! The green tea ice cream recommended by the guide was excellent! 👍🏻👍🏻

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.

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!

Trots att man måste boka och delta i ett lotteri två veckor i förväg, vilket fick en att tro att det skulle vara fullt med folk, visade det sig att folkmassan var mycket välkontrollerad. Det fanns ingen trängsel eller köstress alls, vilket gjorde besöket mycket bekvämt. Även om Fukuoka Tower inte är den högsta byggnaden vi har besegrat, är utsikten från detta glastorn verkligen inte sämre än från något annat känt landmärke. Solen strålar över havet i fjärran, stadens byggnader, viadukterna, och nära oss finns lummiga gröna träd, tillsammans med vackra cumulonimbusmoln. Hela Fukuoka stad breder ut sig framför ögonen, vilket är en fröjd för själen. Att besöka den högsta byggnaden i varje ny stad vi kommer till är en resvana som jag och mitt barn alltid har haft. Den här gången, när jag såg honom entusiastiskt gå med stora steg framför de enorma fönstren i Fukuoka Tower, kände jag att denna vana hade gett oss ännu ett underbart förälder-barn-minne. Om du planerar att besöka Fukuoka rekommenderar jag verkligen att du inkluderar Fukuoka Tower i din resplan. Kom ihåg att boka i förväg online (det är ett lotterisystem). En vacker utsikt är värd att vänta på, och ännu mer värd att uppleva på plats.

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

När du först går in får du 3 gratis mynt. Med dessa mynt kunde jag prova tre olika smaker. Alla smakade bra, och jag kunde köpa en sake till ett bra pris med en rabattkupong.

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.
