Sharing a travel plan for Fukuoka for 8 days and 7 nights 🇯🇵
Share Fukuoka 8 days 7 nights travel plan 🇯🇵
This trip, I changed my sleeping place 1 time, so prepare a small bag. 😆
Day 1: - BKK —>> FUK at 5 am, arrive around 9 am
Thai Vietjet Airlines (I recommend buying Deluxed for convenience when checking in and getting 20 kg of luggage. The price is not much different from buying the normal type ✨)
- Land then leave your bags at the accommodation. We stayed at APA Hotel Hakata Higashihie Ekimae, just 2 train stations from the airport.
- Then go to Teamlab Forest Fukuoka. The building has a restaurant. Stop to eat at the mall before going in.
- The first day, go shopping at the mall because I didn't prepare clothes.
Day 2: - Go to Uminonakamiji Aquarium.
There is a dolphin show and a penguin show. In the middle of the falling snow, it was so beautiful.
- In the afternoon, we went shopping at the mall and looked for a restaurant to eat.
Day 3: - We left early in the morning to Kumamoto Castle by Shinkansen. (Booked in advance from the JR website)
- In the morning, go for a walk at Kamitori shopping arcade
I got a pair of ON shoes ✨
- Take the train around the city and return to Hakata in the evening. Use the JR Pass to book a return train ticket at the counter.
Day 4: - Check-out from the hotel, leave your luggage in a locker at Hakata Station, take a small bag instead, take the Yufuin no mori train (special trains must be booked in advance via the JR website only and can be booked 30 days in advance)
- Visit Yufuin and check in at Pension Yufugoiki (entry at 15:00, grandparents are very cute, highly recommended‼️)
Day 5: - Go to Beppu, take the train from Yufuin to use the JR Pass, book directly at the counter.
- Visit Hells of Beppu, red hot springs
- Walk and find something to eat and return to Yufuin to rest
Day 6: - Check out and find something to eat before taking the same train back to Hakata
- Check in at Toyo Hotel
- Visit the temples at Nanzoin temple is a beautiful big Buddha temple and pray before going back
Day 7: - Wake up early to go to Ainishima Island
(Recommend to stop by to buy cat food at the mall before going. We will be very loved by cats) 🥰
- Return from the island in the afternoon, stop to buy souvenirs at Hakata Train Station and pack your bags
Day 8: - FUK —>> BKK in the morning at the airport. There are quite a few souvenirs for sale. I recommend buying them at the airport. ✅
【Recommended accommodation】🏡
Hotel name: Pension Yufugoiki
The accommodation looks ordinary from the outside, but the grandparents are very cute. Good service, there is a shared onsen pool but you can lock your own time to soak. ♨️
💰Average price per person: 35,000.- THB Average price +- a little bit depending on eating and shopping
【Tips】✨
- Buying a JR Pass will be convenient for traveling and booking train tickets
Yufuin no mori *You have to wake up and book immediately because it fills up very quickly
**When you go to choose a seat on the right side of the train, you will see a beautiful view.
***If you go with many people, choose square seats because the chairs can rotate to each other.
- The places to visit will be loose. If you go on a short trip, you can try to organize them on the same day.
But most places to travel are about 1 hour by train.
