Fukuoka, day by day
Fukuoka is Japan's friendliest big city: the merchant town of Hakata with its shrine and Zen temples, the yatai food stalls along the river at night, a castle park on a lake, a seaside tower and beach, and the shrine of the god of learning at Dazaifu a half-hour train ride away. Start with three days that walk Hakata and Tenjin, go out to Dazaifu and the reclining Buddha, and end on the bay, with the 2026 prices and hours the museums and railways publish.
