Exploring Fukuoka, Japan with my Mom w/ Oita and Beppu Side Trip

[@kanrekipapa]

Welcome to Japan! I live in Tokyo. It was a lot of fun. Fukuoka is my favorite spot. As a Japanese person, this video made me very happy. I want as many foreigners as possible to fall in love with Japan, Japanese culture, and Japanese food. Thank you very much 👍

Thank you so much! I really love Fukuoka Japan! It felt so quiet but at the same time a place where I can soul search for myself! It was a great 5-day Trip with my mom!

Hello, does Fukuoka feel a bit "boring" compared to the bustling cities like Tokyo & Osaka? My family loves Japan so much that we visit annually (from Canada). We've been to Tokyo, Osaka & Nagoya last year. Nagoya was our least favorite part of the trip last year, despite it being our first time to Nagoya and we've been to Tokyo and Osaka quite a few times already... thinking of giving Fukuoka a try this year but concerned it would be like our experience at Nagoya last year.

​@@VincentF-m3n well from what I can see this is depend on your mindset, travel activity, and preference whether you like a specific prefecture or not so I can't answer how "boring" it may be. Personally, I enjoyed both 4 prefectures you said including Fukuoka however I find Fukuoka very peaceful and quiet compared to Osaka and Tokyo. I am not that super fan of crowded places so Osaka is just okay to me, Fukuoka is like Nagoya prefecture in terms of crowd if we will be dealing it on your perspective. Personally, among the 4 prefecture, Nagoya and Fukuoka and Other areas outside Tokyo are the places I will be coming back! 🥰 Fukuoka is a quiet prefecture for me and less tourist and I am loving it so much! Kyushu Region itself is endowed with a lot of food trips, shoppings and cultural heritages and attractions that are more peaceful and cheaper :) So personally, I enjoyed and appreciated Fukuoka so much interms of overall aspect 😊

I love the vibe in Fukuoka, very relaxed and I am surprised there are a lot of places to see. Went here last March 16-21. I would love to go back to Fukuoka.

It is such a peaceful city and the vibe is immaculate compared to the bustling cities in Japan! Likewise, we would love to go back to Kyushu Region to explore more prefectures!

Nice vid. How did you find Fukuoka as compared to other cities in Japan? Worth a repeat visit?

[@thepopuptraveler]

Thank you! Actually I find Fukuoka mlre chill, relax and quiet. Food are incredibly affordable especially Ramen knowing that this is the ramen capital of Japan Local products are also cheaper perfect for shopping In terms of coming back, if you want a laid back vibe then this is the prefecture I will be coming back for sure!
