I visited Fukuoka Tower and really enjoyed it! The view from the top was amazing&mdash;you can see the whole city, the sea, and the mountains. I went around sunset, and it looked beautiful. The tower itself has a cool design, and at night, it lights up with colors. There&rsquo;s also a caf&eacute; and souvenir shop. It&rsquo;s a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. Definitely worth visiting!

Marine World

Getting to Marine World is surprisingly easy and convenient. Just take the JR line from Hakata Station (Platform 1) to Kashii, then transfer to a regular train. The entire journey takes about an hour, and Google Maps is helpful if you&rsquo;re unsure of the route.The aquarium itself is quite spacious and not too crowded, making it a relaxing experience compared to more tourist-heavy attractions. It&#39;s also very cost-effective, especially considering the quality of the exhibits. I visited on a weekday and, while I expected it to be quiet. there were quite a few school groups making the aquarium very lively and crowded.Though smaller in scale, Marine World still offers a fun and engaging experience. The highlight is definitely the live shows, which are well done and enjoyable for all ages. Without the shows, the aquarium might feel a bit limited, so try to time your visit around the performance schedule.

Canal City Hakata

Although it is a shopping mall, I have to say that the cherry blossoms blooming along the banks of the river are more beautiful scenery. The script is not only buy and buy, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery. The river is transparent and clear. The cherry blossom petals are beautiful.

Ohori Park

春天里的柳絮

Ohori Park is called the Little West Lake of Fukuoka because it was built to imitate the West Lake. It takes about an hour to walk around the lake, and the scenery is beautiful. There is the Fukuoka Art Museum in the park, and there is a very good restaurant on the second floor of the museum, with an elegant environment and exquisite food.

Kushida Shrine

The Putian Shrine is the main town of Hakata. The locals are nicknamed the &quot;Putian Family&quot;. It can be seen that the Putian Shrine is deeply loved by local Japanese. The Putian Shrine mainly blesses the &quot;longevity of life&quot; and &quot;business prosperity&quot;. There is a crane bronze sculpture in front of the shrine and a spiritual spring in front. It is said that drinking ~ can prolong life, ~ out of ~ water, to drink three times, the first drink for yourself, the second mouth for the family, the last mouth is praying for everyone around you to drink 😛, of course I have tried it! Putian Shrine and the architectural style are so distinctive 😍 The attractions are close to the city, you may as well pass the street after the trip ~ bye 😙
