| sunev ...where's good to stay in fukuoka ? And what is there to do/see ? |
I just stayed in one of the big chain hotels. Was around 70,000 Korea Won per night. If you used a hostels website, I bet you could get cheaper. I stayed a week in downtown Osaka once for eqvt 30,000 K Won a night....
Fukuoka is cool for a two nighter.
Not much in the way of nightlife I'm afraid, but the big lake park there is beautiful and the modern art museum in it;s grounds superb, as is the food at the Chinese restaurant also just near the park. Man Japanese unlike Koreans really know how to cook food from other countries...
Aside from that, some cool shopping and little noodle bars and drinking hole in the walls and a small, non descript beach.
If you have no reason to go there though except to get a visa and you want to go there as it's cheaper to get the ferry there instead of fly to Osaka or Tokyo - I'd opt for the latter two for a longer vacation or if you don't mind paying the airfare. But for a two day visa trip, perhaps extended to three days, it;s a cool, clean, open little city with very welcoming and friendly people. |
Fukuoka is nice, but the beach there is too polluted with mercury to even walk in along the shore with your shoes off. When I was there the Japanese wouldn't go near it, unless they were in a boat. |

| I love Japan! Everything in Japan is top quality, except for the Korean food. Korean ddaenjjang chigae is just OK in Japan. The variety is awesome and the fashions are tops. Japan gets new fashion first, then Europe, then it eases its way over to Korea. |

| If anyone is interested in Fukuoka, I lived there for over 6 years. I am now working in Korea but just happen to be in Fukuoka for the next 3 weeks. If anyone has a question, I can try my best to answer. |

The Korean food I had in Tokyo was excellent. |
