Fukuoka Winter Slow Life | A Comfortable and Leisurely City Walk Guide

| A Comfortable and Leisurely City Walk Guide. 🚶‍♂️❄️ Want to travel to Japan in winter but are afraid of the cold? Don't worry, Fukuoka is here to help! 🔥 Fukuoka is super warm in winter, with daytime temperatures averaging in the teens, so it's not "freezing" at all. It's perfect for outdoor activities, and the pace is super slow, making it a great place to relax! 😌 👉 First stop: A romantic encounter at Fukuoka Tower 🗼 How can you visit Fukuoka without checking in at "Fukuoka Tower"? This 234-meter-high seaside tower is a landmark of Fukuoka, and you can overlook the entire city of Fukuoka and Hakata Bay from the top of the tower. Standing in front of the Apple Store, look up at the sky and you'll see the iconic communication tower, which is often mistaken for Fukuoka Tower! But that's okay, a photo with the communication tower is also super cool! ✨ 🛍️ Second stop: A trendy feast on Tenjin Shopping Street 🛍️ The area around Tenjin is a trendy mecca in Fukuoka! A treasure trove for vintage lovers, there are many famous chain vintage stores and famous Amekaji stores like Real McCoy, where you can find a lot of nice clothes just by browsing! 😍 ☕️ Third stop: A leisurely time in Yakuin 🌿 If you ask me which area I like the most, I would definitely recommend Yakuin, where there are many beautiful coffee shops and grocery stores, especially the grocery store represented by B•B•B potters, which is really healing to browse and super suitable for taking photos! 📸 [Fukuoka Travel Tips] 🔹 Shops in Fukuoka also close relatively early, so plan your shopping early. 🔹 There are few trash cans on the street, so remember to bring your own trash bags or look for convenience stores to dispose of your trash. 🔹 Hotel check-in time is usually after 2 pm and check-out time is before 11 am. You can store your luggage at the hotel if you arrive early. 🔹 Fukuoka has a very developed public transportation system, but it can be crowded during peak hours, so it is recommended to plan your travel route and time in advance. 🔹 When tasting local food, try some small restaurants or street stalls, where you can often find unexpected delicacies at more affordable prices. 👑 [Must-visit Places in Fukuoka] ▫ Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine: A great place to pray for academic and career success. ▫ Ohori Park: Take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the natural scenery. ▫ Fukuoka Castle: Feel the charm of history. ▫ Futamigaura Beach: Feel the sea breeze and enjoy the tranquility of the beach. 🍽️ [Food Recommendations] ✅ Beef Tripe Hot Pot 🍲 A favorite of offal lovers, remember to order a bowl of ramen/udon with the soup, it's really delicious 😋 Recommendation: 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ✅ Kanetora Dipping Noodles 🍜 The ramen is very chewy, and the hot soup made from pork bones is very rich. Add a little chili powder, then let the noodles be covered with the soup, and you'll be hooked 😱 Recommendation: 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 ✅ Katsuretsutei Tonkatsu 🍖 Thick-cut black pork set (💰3190y) with a crispy thin batter on the outside and tender juicy meat on the inside, dipped in your own ground sesame seeds + tonkatsu sauce (Japanese/Western style), the taste is superb! No wonder it's a Michelin must-eat recommendation 😍 Recommendation: 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 📝 [Experience Sharing] 1️⃣ Accommodation: I chose a B&B near Kasuga Station on the JR line (4 subway stops from Hakata), which is far from the business district but quiet, and only costs 800+ RMB for 5 nights, suitable for budget travelers. 2️⃣ Transportation: Japanese transportation is very punctual, so be sure to check the train number and time carefully, and ask the staff if you are not sure, they are all very nice! 3️⃣ JR PASS: Northern Kyushu 3-day/5-day pass, highly recommended! You won't feel bad about the transportation cost. I hope this guide will help you, and I wish you a pleasant trip to Fukuoka! 🌟✨
