Kitakyushu

Take the shuttle bus around 5 pm directly to the pier, very convenient. From Shimon, there's another shuttle bus to Kokura. The price is slightly more expensive than flying, but half the price of the Shinkansen. It's suitable for tourists visiting Osaka, staying overnight in Kobe, and then heading to Kitakyushu. From Kokura, go to Karato on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, then to the Kitakyushu outlet mall. Finally, head to Fukuoka.

After purchasing at KKDAY, you can scan the QR code from your email at the self-service machine for entry. Staff will assist you if you encounter any problems. Although some say Kogura City is modernized, the elevators to different floors are convenient for elderly people and children. The interactive area on the first floor is also quite attractive to first-time visitors. Afterwards, you can relax in the café on the fifth floor.

Our tour guide, Yang Meng, was very professional and provided excellent service! The night view was truly beautiful—it's just a pity the market was so crowded; an hour wasn't enough to cover queuing and lunch! The shrine was lovely, but it was a shame it wasn't open on weekends!

Qiufangdong is beautiful. If you're willing to skip lunch, you can also go to Qiujidai.

You can choose your own itinerary, and the restaurant's dining options are also great.

The grass turned into fog, and the Aso Boys event was temporarily suspended, which was a bit disappointing. However, the friendliness of the local merchants and the delicious souvenirs made up for the aforementioned shortcomings.
