#Fukuoka I also happened to witness the preparations for the summer festival, the Hakata Gion Yamakasa (https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4808.html)! Every year, seven districts of the city build huge platforms, like the ones in the photo, to carry them along…

#Fukuoka I walked past another legendary spot – the 24-hour ramen shop Hakataya (https://maps.app.goo.gl/8WJ2WsdBtF8f8pU36). This is where I had my first ramen when I arrived in Japan. I won't lie and say it was extraordinary. But honestly, 290 yen ($1.8) –…

#Fukuoka After the bar, I decided to take a final walk around the city. I stopped by a temple, which seemed to be closed, but the security cat let me in. I was thinking that in Japan, there are probably more temples than parks, so if you feel like relaxing…

#Fukuoka Laffite bar has an interesting story. A year ago, a bartender at another bar in Fukuoka recommended it to me and gave me a business card. That's partly why I came here. So, I was sitting and chatting with the bartender, and I mentioned where I was…

#Fukuoka If you happen to be in Fukuoka, which bar should you visit? My recommendation is Laffite (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gmYmx1jSeeSWBbiX7). You can find it by going down this kind of basement in a dark alley (don't ask me how I found it!). This place has…

#Fukuoka The nightlife in this city isn't quite like Tokyo or Osaka, but you can still find entertainment here. The main action takes place on a small "island" separated from the rest of the city center by canals. You come here for the bars, street music,…

Well, since my readers seem to enjoy Japan, I'll tell you about one of my trips to the Land of the Rising Sun. By chance, I crossed the border again in the city of #Fukuoka, just like I did the first time way back in 2024…

#Fukuoka However, it would probably be wrong not to pay a little attention to the city's Shinto temples. They are beautiful and interesting here, just like in the rest of Japan.

#Fukuoka #Review In the end, just a miscellany of various places in Fukuoka. Despite the fact that it's the fourth-largest city in Japan, there's not much globally known about it yet. Is it worth visiting here? Maybe, but only if your goal is to visit all…

#Fukuoka Apart from Buddha, there are dozens of other inhabitants in this temple. You can approach all of them and offer them something (most often, money 😁). But sometimes, more elegant methods are offered, like pouring water from a special ladle. It was…
#Fukuoka
#Fukuoka The most interesting thing to do in Fukuoka is to take a train and go to the suburbs of the temple village. This is exactly what I did on the second day of my stay here. In half an hour, the cityscape completely disappears from view, replaced by…
#Fukuoka
#Fukuoka While walking around the city, I stumbled upon a small Taiwanese restaurant. As is usually the case, a grandmother is running the place. Overall, it's a very cozy place. On the wall, there's a painting of the street in Jioufen village, which is…

#Fukuoka Nevertheless, even here, some people live with pretensions. Or at least cling to their tiny homes. In general, the same situation can be observed throughout Japan. There are hardly any private neighborhoods here, like in Seoul, and old three-story…

A month of Japan is starting on the channel 🇯🇵! At first, the posts will be a bit delayed due to my travels, but I think we'll catch up soon) My acquaintance with the country probably started where it doesn't start for anyone else. Having found the…
