Fukuoka is the main city on Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's main islands. It's a great base for a exploring the rest of the island, and taking day trips to Kagoshima, Sakurajima, Kumamoto, the Beppu Hells (Beppu Jigoku), Nagasaki, Yufuin, Dazaifu and Yanagawa. In Fukuoka itself there's the castle ruins, shopping, Canal City Mall (with a One Piece show every night), parks, seaside areas, a zoo, aquarium, islands in the bay and more. Here's my round-up, with my itinerary, things I didn't do, travel tips and recommendations.

  • I've no desire to return to Kyoto, especially with the tourist boom now, but love Fukuoka. Mountains, islands, beaches, easy access, calm environment.

    Welcome, Fukuoka Japan! The Japanese is quite fond of Fukuoka. The Imperial era for 2681 years is the historical place where Fukuoka is also called a Japanese era. ありがとう!

    Great vid, I'm going to Kyushu next month and seeing your video is really refreshing :D
  • I live your videos, they’re really informative & entertaining. We went to Japan last year but barely scraped the surface & tried to stay in too many places so I’m already planning a return in 2021!
  • @davidsworld3603
    Just found your channel. Loved the video as it helped me understand Kyushu better and will help me plan a future trip. Thanks!
  • Excellent. Another great (half) day trip is Nanzoin Temple, just ½h away by train. We also travelled to Busan on a 3-hour ferry, that's also very cool. Thanks for the videos and enjoy.

    Great video, very informative! You have a nice natural presentation for this.
  • @freaknutt33
    This is by far the most informative and helpful video about Fukuoka and the possible day trips around it that I have seen. THANK YOU!!! I will be travelling to Fukuoka for three days next month and this video was very helpful in helping me plan which activities to do in Fukuoka and which day trips I could possibly try to do. I look forward to watching more of your videos. :)
  • @jamiestarpsh

  • thanks for this. booked a flight deal to FUK without doing my research and I was feeling a bit lost on what to do. this helped a lot

    I lived in Kyushu a couple years back in the 90s. I remember Fukuoka not being my favorite city on the island. I liked Nagasaki best, then probably Kumamoto. But you could have a lot of fun spending two days in Fukuoka for sure. Real reason to be in Kyushu though is to experience the natural beauty of more rural Japan. Smaller towns, nature hikes, that kind of thing. If you spend your whole stay in Kyushu in the cities, you’re definitely missing the main point of being in Kyushu I think.
  • Wow, This video is awesome, Now I know more about Fukuoka ;) Thank you, I just moved to Fukuoka 2 months ago Food is great and people are really friendly.
