Hakata Station is not only a transportation hub in Kyushu, but also a place full of history and modernity. As soon as you exit the station, you will see the hall in front of you bustling with people, busy but orderly, making you instantly feel the vitality of this city. 9:00am - Explore the interior of the station The interior design of Hakata Station is simple and modern, yet still retains a traditional Japanese aesthetic. There are many shops and restaurants within the station, selling everything from authentic Kyushu ramen to exquisite wagashi. I especially recommend the ramen from Hakata Ippudo, which has a rich soup and chewy noodles. It is definitely the perfect choice for breakfast. 10:30am - Hakata Station History Museum Next, I headed to the Hakata Station History Museum located inside the station.

There are also many precious old photos and cultural relics in the exhibition, which make people feel as if they are traveling through time and space and returning to that nostalgic era. 12:00 noon - Lunch time For lunch, I chose "Hakata Motsu Nabe Yamachu" inside the station, a restaurant specializing in Hakata's specialty offal hot pot. The soup base of the hot pot is delicious, the offal is handled just right, and it is paired with fresh vegetables and tofu, which is very memorable. 1:30pm - Canal City Hakata In the afternoon, I walked about 15 minutes from Hakata Station to Canal City Hakata. This is a comprehensive facility that integrates shopping, entertainment and dining. The unique architectural design and the canal running through it make people feel like they are in Venice. I visited many unique shops here and enjoyed a wonderful street performance. 4:00pm - Return to Hakata Station After returning to Hakata Station, I strolled around the Hankyu Department Store inside the station. There are many high-quality goods and delicacies here, and it is a great place to buy souvenirs. I especially recommend the "Hakata Dorimon", a traditional Japanese confectionery named after Hakata. It has a crispy outer skin and sweet filling, making it perfect for taking home and sharing with friends and family. 6:00pm - Farewell to Hakata Station As the sun sets, I reluctantly bid farewell to Hakata Station.
