What to do and see in Fukuoka, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Rail Tours

May 16, 2022 Malia Yoakum

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.

For all the cat lovers out there! A small island, Ainoshima, only 20 minutes by boat from Fukuoka. Left? Right? Wherever you look, there are said to be more cats here than humans. Black cats with beautiful fur, timid cute cats and small kittens, you name it, many types live here with the locals. These cats are very friendly, if you're lucky they will come and play. But be careful not to annoy them too much! Other sites are also here, a facility received from Korea over several hundred years ago and a strange ruin piled with stones. After travelling around the island, taste the delicious seafood! A tour to embrace the flowing time, cats and nature!

When visiting Fukuoka, Dazaifu Temple is a spot not to miss. The shops lining up to the shrine are also unique and appealing. But this is not everything! If you come to Dazaifu, enjoy all the spots there are to see. This is a tour prepared by otomo full of thought! See Komyo Zenji in a beautiful stone garden, Kamoda Jinjya in the mountains and also Kyushu Kokuritsu Hakubutsukan filled with 1000 years of Fukuoka history. Of course, there are lots to do in the streets too, taste the fresh plums, green onions and try the latest hamburgers. Finally, visit Tenmangu, your otomo guide will surely tell you everything there is to know!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
