Fukuoka

Just finished a 5-day, 4-night trip to Kyushu, and this time I used the "Kyushu FunPASS All-Area 3-in-1" pass. The experience was truly excellent value for money! If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto, or Beppu, this e-passport is definitely worth getting. What is the Kyushu FunPASS 3-in-1? Simply put, it's an e-travel pass that can be used through a mobile app. The 3-in-1 plan includes: two must-see attractions, one selected attraction, plus various shopping coupons. It covers popular areas such as Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto, and Oita (Beppu), allowing you to book your trip to multiple prefectures with one ticket. Why recommend the 3-in-1? Five major advantages: 1. Incredibly cost-effective, excellent value! My adult ticket cost about NT$680, and I chose two must-see attractions: "Fukuoka Tower" and "Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum," plus "teamLab Forest Fukuoka" as a selected attraction. These three items alone added up to over NT$800, making it a complete return on investment! Not to mention shopping discounts aren't even included. One user shared: "With coupons and additional discounts, it's a great deal to enjoy Kyushu," and "High value for money." 2. Super convenient e-tickets, skip the lines and enter directly. Previously, you had to spend time queuing to buy tickets at attractions. Now, just download the app on your phone, bind your serial number, and show the QR code at the venue to scan and enter. At teamLab Forest Fukuoka, I simply showed the QR code to the staff and entered, without having to queue for tickets at all. Users unanimously praised: "Queue-free ticket purchase is super easy," and "Buy and use immediately, very convenient." 3. Super flexible itinerary, no worries about last-minute changes. This is super friendly to independent travelers! You can activate the card within one year of purchase and use it within 14 days of activation. Even better, as long as you haven't booked or used any attractions, you can change the itinerary dates yourself in the app. Some bloggers shared that they bought fixed-date tickets in the past, only to lose thousands of dollars when changing their itinerary, but FunPASS doesn't have this problem at all. 4. Diverse Attractions, Suitable for Families and Couples: The 3-in-1 plan includes over 30 attractions, with popular options including: • Must-Visit Attractions (Choose 2): Fukuoka Tower, Kokura Castle, Moji Port Retro Observatory, Kyushu Railway Memorial Museum, Kanmon Strait Museum, Kumamoto Yatai Village (redeemable for a drink), etc. • Selected Attractions (Choose 1): teamLab Forest Fukuoka, Marine World Uminakamichi Aquarium, Beppu Hell Hot Spring Tour, Sadaharu Oh Baseball Museum, Yanagawa Cruise, etc. Whether you want to enjoy night views, visit an aquarium, soak in hot springs, or experience cultural attractions, you can find suitable options.

This boatman is probably one of the few who can take you to the same spot in 40 minutes, which is convenient for people who don't want to move around. Also, the boatman sings very well, and my family all praised him.

It feels so perfect, you'd wish your own country had a place like that.

The itinerary timing was just right, the tour guide was very attentive, and the driver drove smoothly.

During our trip to Okinawa, we found that using an iPhone was convenient, had a stable signal, fast network speed, and was reasonably priced. Before activation, you need to connect to the airport's free Wi-Fi to successfully register your SIM card.

The exchange process is very convenient and simple. There are many train services, and even unreserved seats are available both ways. It only takes about ten minutes to reach Kokura. I highly recommend it if you are going to Kokura or Moji Port.
