This summer vacation we wanted to get out of Korea for a few days and didn’t want to spend a ton of money. I still had NEVER been to Japan, so we decided now was the time! We had a great 3 days in Fukuoka, and wanted to share our trip through photos and videos. We ate the famously delicious Hakata ramen, saw old castle ruins, and took the Asahi Brewery tour! We can’t wait to go back again, we were surprised at how easy it was to go to Fukuoka by boat! We will have another blog post soon about how to travel there by boat, so be on the look out for that.

We highly recommend Fukuoka Hana Hostel, great location, nice rooms, reasonable price, helpful staff!

The canals in the city make the landscape really interesting! This is right by our hostel, looking for food!

The hostel staff recommended this place. It’s basically a waffle house of Japanese ramen. Same kind of feel, and it was delicious.

Evan was extremely happy..can you tell?

With full bellies we found a nearby arcade and played a few games. Arcades are everywhere here!

Kushida shrine was also in the neighborhood, a beautiful, serene place.

Then we walked around Canal City, a huge, scenic shopping mall.
