Fukuoka Four-Day, Three-Nigh

Fukuoka Four-Day, Three-Night Trip Review

This four-day, three-night trip to Fukuoka truly embodied the essence of "eating, drinking, and having fun."

Our first stop was Ichiran Ramen's main restaurant. While there are branches in Taiwan, the atmosphere at Ichiran Ramen is completely different. From the moment I ordered, it felt like a pilgrimage. The broth was still rich and fragrant, leaving me satisfied until the last sip.

A cultural tour was essential during the day, and a visit to Kushida Shrine was a must. The shrine is especially peaceful in the early morning, its solemn atmosphere allowing one to temporarily let go of the excitement and rush of travel and quietly pray for safety and success.

Next, we ventured into the common people's stomachs and headed to the original Nagahamaya. Their ramen is simple yet unpretentious, open 24 hours a day. Sitting down with a bowl of piping hot noodles is like breathing in the city.

As night falls, Fukuoka transforms completely. The night view of Fukuoka Tower illuminates the seaside skyline. Walking into the Tenjin and Nakasu yatai, the warmth of the people fills the stalls one after another, where yakitori, oden, ramen, and the aroma of sake blend together – this is the truest Fukuoka nightlife.

The next day, we made a special trip to Nagahama Fish Market. Unlike the touristy crowds, it's a place where you can experience the daily bustle of local life. The fresh fish and seafood donburi are simply blissful, and you won't want to leave.

Of course, you can't just eat at one ramen place. The incredibly rich tonkotsu broth at Dapao Ramen is a completely different experience. It was worth it to experience two classics in just a few days.

The final stop was the Tenjin Underground Shopping Center. It's more than just a shopping paradise, it's a place to collect memories, from souvenirs to everyday items, all in one place.

This four-day, three-night Fukuoka itinerary offers the authentic culture and markets of the day and the vibrant lights and food of the night. Enjoy satisfying food and shopping, and the memories you'll leave behind are more precious than just the souvenirs themselves.
