🍜Autumn trip to Hakata to enjoy the autumn leaves and delicious food🍂

A two-day leisurely trip around Hakata, feeling the arrival of autumn.

Our first stop was Hakata Isso, a popular restaurant serving Fukuoka's signature dish, Hakata Ramen.
The rich pork bone broth was perfectly intertwined with the thin noodles, topped with green onions and wood ear mushrooms for added texture.
With one sip, the creamy flavor filled my mouth, bringing a smile to my face. 😊
It's easy to see why this restaurant is so popular with locals and tourists alike.

Next, we visited Motsunabe, a Fukuoka specialty.
The piping hot pot was filled with tender offal and plenty of chives and cabbage, making it irresistible.
The flavor of the soup permeated the vegetables, warming me from the inside out. ✨
The aroma of garlic and chili peppers was appetizing, and this dish truly embodied the taste of Hakata!

After our meal, we headed to a relaxing spot bathed in the autumn colors.
At Rakusuien Garden, the autumn leaves are at their peak, and the gentle flowing water and small waterfalls are soothing to the soul. 🍁
Walking among the trees, vibrant maples can be seen at the end of the cobblestone path.
As the red and orange leaves sway in the breeze, it feels as if time is passing slowly.
It was a soothing moment that allowed me to forget my busy daily life.

And to conclude my trip, I took a relaxing dip in Namiha no Yu. ♨️
The open-air bath was amazing, refreshing both my mind and body.
On my way back, I stopped by the illuminated Hakata Port Tower, and the red and purple lights shining against the city at night were a mystical sight. 🌃

My final stop was Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, famous for the god of learning.
I gently stroked the "Nadeushi" (a cow) enshrined within the shrine grounds, praying for a safe journey and future success.
Listening to the sound of the trees swaying in the autumn breeze, I felt my heart instantly lighten.

Food, nature, and relaxation.
Hakata is full of charm no matter where you look.
Visiting during the autumn season makes it even more captivating. 🍁
Next time, why not take a stroll through "Autumn Hakata" with your camera in hand? 📷✨
