Fukuoka

I arrived at the airport full of anticipation, only to find the counter was already closed... I hadn't checked their closing time before I left. Luckily, there was a great and convenient self-service card dispenser (where you can also buy a card), thumbs up! No need to worry about arriving late and missing out on a card.

A day trip to Mount Aso in Kyushu 🏔️ Kamishimi Kumanozha Shrine → Mount Aso → Kusasenri → Kurokawa Onsen ♨️ We visited several different places in one day. The tranquility of the shrine, the grandeur of Mount Aso, the vastness of Kusasenri, and the leisurely atmosphere of Kurokawa Onsen—each stop offered a different perspective. Our guide was also excellent—friendly, patient, and helpful in explaining the sights and local culture along the way. The entire trip went very smoothly.

If you buy a ticket on the day of your trip, it will be issued immediately, and the price is much cheaper than the original price for unreserved seats. You only need to exchange your ticket at a special machine outside the Shinkansen gate. The downside is that you can only board by manned ticket verification.

No need to drive and got a great tour guide! Really great! The tour guide was very patient and had a great attitude. Nanami The Miyazaki beef burger is amazing, a must-try! Very good impression ❤️

During our trip to Itoshima, which was planned using a chartered car, our driver, Lü Xiaobu, was very attentive in suggesting the best time to go, avoiding crowds and traffic at tourist attractions and restaurants, making the journey more comfortable. He also helped us communicate with the restaurants and always cared about the needs of the older members of our group. I highly recommend him.

There's a store in Hokkaido located in the international arrivals area for convenient pick-up and drop-off. Signal strength and speed are good in urban areas, but relatively poor in suburban areas.

The itinerary was very fulfilling and fun. Tickets for the miniature train and boat rides were extremely difficult to obtain; if you purchase this tour package, be sure to add the Takachiho boat ride to the itinerary, as it includes round-trip transportation and may even be cheaper than arranging it yourself. Highly recommended. Our guide, Jimmy, was witty and humorous, and very considerate of the group members, speeding up the overall itinerary – excellent!

My experience traveling from Busan to Fukuoka on the Camellia ferry was better than expected. For a ferry of approximately 20,000 tons primarily operating on routes between Japan and South Korea, I think the Camellia performed quite well. The facilities weren't luxurious, as it can't be compared to large cruise ships, but it had the basic amenities, and the public spaces and cabins were generally clean. The journey itself was satisfactory, with no major issues. The sea conditions were good on the day I boarded, and the voyage was smoother than I anticipated. I could rest on board overnight and arrive in Fukuoka the next morning, making it a rather interesting way to travel between Busan and Fukuoka. If you're expecting a luxury cruise experience, you might find the facilities somewhat basic; however, if you consider it an international ferry that allows overnight stays and connects South Korea and Japan, I think its overall performance is above average. Considering the ship's size, facilities, and the overall experience, I would give it 4 stars. It wasn't particularly amazing, but it was comfortable and practical, and I would be willing to travel on it again.

The 20GB bandwidth for 7 days was more than enough. The internet connection was also very stable; I'll definitely choose it again next time I travel abroad.
