Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Fukuoka, Kyushu-Okinawa
Fukuoka is a gourmet paradise... "providing you're not vegetarian," say travelers on our Fukuoka forum! It's right on Genkai Sea, and the seafood is fresh and abundant. So is Fukuoka-style ramen, which you can find at the city's famous yatai (outdoor stalls) as well as modern restaurants. Walk off your meal at Ohori Park and the nearby Fukuoka Castle ruins.

Wow. This park looked amazing on google maps, but when we went there it was even more spectacular. We went here for 3 hours in September. Took a ferry from Hakata port (a very nice 15 min ride, not too many waves and you get to see great distance view of hakata city) to Saitozaki ferry terminal. This park is enormous, best way to see everything without taking forever is to hire a bike. It's around 500Yen for 3-4 hours. There are designated bike paths in the park, however you can take the bike in certain areas where there is lot of foot traffic. There are lot of bike stops where you can park and have a walk through different attractions. There is a bit of everything at this seaside park, there is a zoo, bird area, picnic areas, lot of gardens and is very kid friendly too - such as kids pools, picnic benches etc. Great place to go to escape the city for a few hours, especially on a lovely sunny day, whether your a couple or a family, there's something to do for everyone. When we went, there wasn't too many flowers blooming. This place must be exploding with people during cherry blossom season.... If you go to Fukuoka, be sure to come check this place out, you won't regret it xD

I discovered this park 4 years ago and everytime I need a place to restore my mind, I use to go there. The best period to visit it it's especially during the sakura season because it's full of cherry trees and the landscape becomes very suggestive. The park surrounds a lake also and you can walk all around it breathing the freshness of flowers and trees. This park is a piece of silence in the middle of the noise, a piece of peace in the rushing days of the people.

The approximately 100-minute Cruising & Dining Plan is recommended for those who want to fully utilize their limited time in Fukuoka or wish to experience something different from their previous visit. This ship will cruise around Hakata Bay, offering views of the shoreline’s skyscrapers, a shopping mall with a large Ferris wheel, a land-tied island connected to the mainland by a shoal, and another island that is renowned for its flowers.

It is the first owl cafe in Kyushu. 15 to 20 real owls are waiting inside the shop. The owls are very familiar to people because they are nurtured carefully from chicks. In our shop, you can have owls on hands, shoulders, head etc. Owl cafe that you can enjoy from adults to kids! Touch the owls, photography, please spend an hour of healing and relaxing ☆

While you're around Fukuoka, please stop by at this cool owl cafe! Well, I can't say much about the cafe, but this place was exactly for animal lover or bird lover or owl lover!! And apparently this cafe wouldn't allow you to just walk in. You must booked an appointment in advance to enjoy 1 hour pet the owls. The time start with 10 minutes introduction about how, when and where to pet the owl at the second floor, then head to the first floor where we can interact with the tame cute birds. It was a lovely experience and friendly staffs will help you to put the owl on your arms or shoulder. Be careful with their poo!

I have been wanting to go to the Japanese Gardens at Ohori Park in the middle of Fukuoka City for sometime now and with Autumn in full swing the thought of seeing some red crimson Japanese Maple Leaf gave me even more motivation to go and check it out. The location of this attraction can be seen from the outside but only the tops of the trees so I really wasn`t expecting too much but once inside I was in fact blown away by the size, features and overall ambience of the place. Not only are the gardens impeccably maintained but the central pond really sets the centerpiece of the whole place. I was a little rush for time on this day and only spent around 25 minutes here but in all honesty I could have easily spent an hour or more here, just lapping up the breathtaking scene and ambience. On this day, the Teahouses and outer buildings were closed but I lucked out with 2 sets of Japanese couples getting professional pictures taken around the grounds. I wished them luck, sent a message of congratulations and was able to snap a couple of photos of the ladies and gents in their magnificent Kimonos. I am sure the gardens are pristine all year long but i will absolutely want to come back during spring to see the Cherry Blossoms and Azalea foliage during this period. Once I get the times and the booking process under control I will also document and blog about the Green Tea Ceremonies that are held twice a month. I am looking forward to see what kind of facilities are available for the International Travelers as I may include this traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony on my Fukuoka Walking Tour Itinerary.

Canal City itself is a big shopping mall, and there are many shops, amusement facilities and show area, saw people dancing at day time, saw some proyector mapping show, saw water dancing show and also Godzilla show as well. There is also a ramen stadium inside and many restaurants too. It’s quite an interesting place to visit if you come to Fukuoka.
