Here’s a quick hit guide to Fu

Here’s a quick hit guide to Fukuoka, city of ramen dreams and legendary yatai food stalls 🌙🍜

Top Spots to Hit in Fukuoka ✨
1. Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk (Jigyohama 2-2-3): This hotel’s ocean-view rooms and epic breakfast buffet make mornings magical. Don't skip the Japanese teppanyaki or fresh local omelets—seriously worth it. If you have kids, you’ll love the family-friendly atmosphere and perks. Pro tip: Some rooms are more recently renovated, so if you're picky, request one! The pool and gym are solid, though be aware there may be extra fees. The only real hassle is its location; plan ahead with taxis or public transit.

2. Kushida Shrine (1-41 Kamikawabatamachi, Hakata Ward): Just a short stroll from central Hakata, this iconic shrine is open daily 09:00-17:00. It’s beautiful, calm, and you can check out the local drum ceremony if your timing’s right! Definitely Insta-worthy and has a serene vibe—perfect for a morning walk.

3. Yatai Food Stalls (Fukuoka 810-0800): Fukuoka is famous for its streetside yatai stalls—grab a seat and dig into the birthplace of ichiran ramen or other local eats. Come here after sunset for the best vibes. Crowds grow fast, so arrive early for a spot. Locals say the classic pork ramen and grilled skewers are musts, and some stalls accept credit cards.

Getting Around
Traffic is easy with local buses and taxis, but the hotel isn’t right next to major stations. If you crave convenience, grab a prepaid local transport card. Cash is king, so always carry yen, especially for yatai stalls!

Don’t Forget:
Comfortable shoes, appetite for ramen, and time for street snacks. Fukuoka is chill but bring a light jacket in the evening!
