Fukuoka

We exchanged our tickets for paper tickets at Fukuoka Station, which was very convenient. The Nishitetsu trains are frequent, but Yanagawa is quite far, so we chose the limited express. There's a free shuttle bus from the Yanagawa exit to the Matsugae ferry terminal to take a sightseeing boat. The boats have heated blankets in winter, and the boatmen will introduce the scenery of Yanagawa and sing songs. In the afternoon, we went to Tenmangu Shrine. The Nishitetsu train connections were excellent. We exchanged our tickets for umeboshi mochi (plum blossom rice cakes) from Terada-ji Temple; they were delicious, and there were many tourists there.

Most of the attractions we visited today had sea views, which was really relaxing. Although the sea breeze was a bit strong, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. After shopping in the city and getting tired, taking a walk in the suburbs to see the sea was a different kind of enjoyment. I'm also very grateful to our tour guide, Emy, for her enthusiastic introductions to the various attractions and their stories. Most importantly, there were also some delicious restaurants. I'm also very grateful to the driver for safely getting us back to the meeting point. The attractions we visited were relatively close together, so we didn't have to get up particularly early or take a long drive. I recommend this to travelers who want to go for a stroll along the beach.

Highly convenient, especially suitable for travelers with a lot of luggage, eliminating the need for airport shuttles or subway transfers. Service staff are friendly and patient, providing quick and clear answers to questions, ensuring reliability.
