Share Fukuoka 8 days 7 nights travel plan 🇯🇵 This trip, I changed my sleeping place 1 time, so prepare a small bag. 😆 Day 1: - BKK —>> FUK at 5 am, arrive around 9 am Thai Vietjet Airlines (I recommend buying Deluxed for convenience when checking in and getting 20 kg of luggage. The price is not much different from buying the normal type ✨) - Land then leave your bags at the accommodation. We stayed at APA Hotel Hakata Higashihie Ekimae, just 2 train stations from the airport. - Then go to Teamlab Forest Fukuoka. The building has a restaurant. Stop to eat at the mall before going in. - The first day, go shopping at the mall because I didn't prepare clothes. Day 2: - Go to Uminonakamiji Aquarium. There is a dolphin show and a penguin show. In the middle of the falling snow, it was so beautiful. - In the afternoon, we went shopping at the mall and looked for a restaurant to eat.

Good service, there is a shared onsen pool but you can lock your own time to soak. ♨️ 💰Average price per person: 35,000.- THB Average price +- a little bit depending on eating and shopping 【Tips】✨ - Buying a JR Pass will be convenient for traveling and booking train tickets Yufuin no mori *You have to wake up and book immediately because it fills up very quickly **When you go to choose a seat on the right side of the train, you will see a beautiful view. ***If you go with many people, choose square seats because the chairs can rotate to each other. - The places to visit will be loose. If you go on a short trip, you can try to organize them on the same day. But most places to travel are about 1 hour by train.

#Sakura2024 🌸Marine World is an aquarium near Uminonakamichi Seaside Park in Fukuoka Prefecture. Inside, there are many aquatic life exhibits. There is a large aquarium. The beautiful lighting makes us feel that the nature of the sea is this beautiful. 🐬 In addition, there are shows of various animals such as seals. And the highlight is the dolphin show. It is fun, exciting, and new. I've never seen it anywhere before. 🦦 And the animal that impressed us the most here is little Riro-kun. He is a chubby sea otter. Fluffy fur is the cutest and most adorable. Anyone who sees it will have to say the word cute kawaii. 🥰 #Fukuoka #fukuoka #Marineworld #aquarium #TravelJapan #TravelJapan #TravelJapanByYourself

[Marine World Umi-no-Nakamichi] This is my personal number one recommended aquarium in Kyushu! Not only are there popular aquariums such as penguins, dolphins, sea turtles and sharks, but the whale show (short-finned pilot whales), which is rare in Japan, a must-see! And the best thing about this aquarium is that you can see sea otters! This is the only place in Japan where you can see sea otters, and Toba Aquarium in Mie! It's recommended for everyone, whether you're going on a family trip, a date, or just spending time alone♪ Address: 18-28 Nishitozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 811-0321 Admission fee: 2,500 yen for adults, 1,200 yen for elementary and junior high school students Access: 5 minutes on foot from JR Umi-no-Nakamichi Station #FukuokaTourism #Aquarium

My visit to Marine World in Fukuoka offered a fascinating spectacle of sea lions and dolphins, showcasing their incredible intelligence and agility. The excitement in the air was palpable as the show commenced. The sea lions, with their playful antics and dynamic flips, immediately captured the audience's heart. Their interactive session with the trainers highlighted their intelligence and demonstrated a strong bond of trust. The excitement escalated with the arrival of the dolphins. Their performance was nothing short of breathtaking. Leaping high into the air, flipping, and gliding through the water with remarkable grace, they captivated the audience with their synchronized maneuvers. This unforgettable show at Marine World Fukuoka served as a reminder of the wonders of marine life, the significance of their preservation, and the joy they bring into our lives. It was a delightful blend of entertainment, education, and appreciation for these amazing marine creatures. #mytripvlog #awesomepic #themepark #本地遊 #tripblazers #summervacation #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #2023travelwish #nationalpark #bucketlistreboot

I thought all aquariums were the same🤔, but Marine World here was different from other aquariums🐬 in a good way‼ ️ ★Scan the QR code and hold the creatures over it to see an explanation📱 ★A tank with only squid🦑 ★The main attraction of the large tank is not the large fish, but the dancing sardines (swimming to the music❗) ★You can get a fish seal! ★There are places to eat on the way to the exhibits, and the menu is extensive🍽️ It's not a big aquarium🐬, but it's an aquarium🐬 that makes you want to go back😆

I went to Marine World Umi-no-Nakamichi, an aquarium in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. There were lots of fish, and it was very beautiful and fun. I watched the dolphin show from the front row, so it was very impressive and the water flew all over the place. The nearest station is Umi-no-Nakamichi Station, and there is a large park called Umi-no-Nakamichi Seaside Park nearby, where you can enjoy flowers of all seasons and it's perfect for a picnic! There is also an island called Shikanoshima nearby, so it's a recommended course to visit both islands together. I recommend renting a bicycle and going there! Let's go on a date at Umi-no-Nakamichi this spring. #Umi-no-Nakamichi #FukuokaDate #Aquarium

Speaking of aquariums in Fukuoka, this is the place to go! Marine World Umi-no-Nakamichi 🐠 You can see marine life in the waters off Kyushu♪ Kyushu is surrounded by four seas: the East China Sea, the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of ​​Japan, and the Seto Inland Sea, and all prefectures face the sea. The aquariums that recreate the oceans of each region were distinctive✨ Access: 18-28 Nishitozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture (5 minutes walk from Umi-no-Nakamichi Station) #Fukuoka #Umi-no-Nakamichi Marine World #Marine World #Aquarium

Marine World is located in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This aquarium, located next to Umi-no-Nakamichi Seaside Park, is extremely popular with both children and adults! Many free shows are held throughout the day at the aquarium. The most popular of these is the dolphin🐬 show! If you sit in the front seats, you'll get soaked by the splashes of the dolphins jumping, but the kids looked happy...lol

[Park on the Rinshima Sand Island | Fukuoka "Hainaka-do Waterfront Park" | Must-See for Parents] #I miss the parks in Japan, most of them are big and distinctive. The "Hainakamichi Waterfront Park" we visited this time, located on the Fukuoka Renjima Sandbar, is a super-large state-owned park. In addition to different flowers overseas, even the rides will change during the four seasons. In the summer, a paddling pool will be set up There are many different styles of other children's playgrounds, which are great for kids to unwind There is also an animal forest in the park, with a variety of different animals, such as capybaras, rabbits, guinea pigs, kangaroos, etc Because the park is very big, if you don't want to walk, you can choose to cycle. The park has a bike path, which is very convenient 📍Nakamichi-do Waterfront Park Address: 18-25 Nishitozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka Prefecture #Japan #freetrip #Fukuoka #Park #Namido #I miss #themepark guide #picnic spots #flower viewing guide #family good places #super fun theme parks #parent good places guide

[Aquarium on Linjima Sandbar | Fukuoka "Sea World Kaino-do" Aquarium] The SeaWorld Uinakado Aquarium in Fukuoka is one of my favorite aquariums, #I miss it. The "Sea World Kaino-do" aquarium is the only aquarium in Fukuoka. It is built on the small "Renshima Sandbar" - Kai-no-do. There are 2.5 floors in the Ocean World Aquarium. What attracted me the most was the huge open ocean water tank inside the museum, which is 3 floors high In addition to the indoor exhibition area, there is also an outdoor exhibition area. Compared to other aquariums, the "Sea World Kai Chuo" aquarium may be smaller, but the same day trip along with the adjacent Kai Chuo Waterfront Park is a good day trip ~ 📍"Sea World Sea Nakado" Aquarium Address: 18-28 Oji Nishidozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City #Japan #free travel #fukuoka #aquarium #michinakado #marineworld #I miss #themeparkguide #familygoodplaces #superfunthemeparks #parentchildrengotreads

I stayed at the Yokohama Kannai Comment Hotel. It was newly built about a year ago(?), so it was very clean and nice. I especially enjoyed the detox drink on the first floor:) I drank it every time I went out, and my thirst disappeared, and my digestion improved. It was so good💞😍Highly recommended. #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Yokohama #Commento Kannai Hotel

Marine World Uminonakamichi 🌊 ~An aquarium where you can experience the whole Kyushu sea~ Marine World Uminonakamichi is a popular aquarium in Fukuoka City, where about 350 species and 30,000 creatures are exhibited under the theme of "Kyushu Sea". In the impressive panoramic large aquarium, schools of fish from the Genkai Sea swim, and you can experience the realism of taking a walk underwater. The dolphin and sea lion shows are especially popular. They are held on an outdoor stage with a natural landscape as a backdrop, and you can enjoy a sense of openness and a powerful performance. There are also plenty of night aquariums and limited-time events, making it a popular tourist spot in Fukuoka that can be enjoyed by families and couples alike ☝🏻⭐️ #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

If you are traveling to Fukuoka in the winter, I recommend the Uminonakamichi Aquarium that I visited. It is large and you can see a variety of fish and performances!

Great value for money (even with Shanghai currency 😉), fantastic experience, and super attentive staff. Don’t skip it! 💡 Extra Tips:

There were two places to go to the beach during my trip to Fukuoka, but since it was a 3-night, 4-day trip, I was worried about which one to go to, and decided on Uminonakamichi Beach Park! It was a very satisfying place. It took about 30 minutes to get from Hakata Station to Uminonakamichi Beach by JR line, and after arriving, I went to Marine World and jumped on the trampoline for a while, and then moved to the playground and played. There was also a zoo inside, so I walked around the large park, and there were playgrounds in between, so the kids really enjoyed it. The kindergarteners and the elementary school students also liked it. We went around 11 AM and had fun until 5 PM. If the trip was mainly about shopping until the day before, it would be a more meaningful trip if you spent a day at the beach park. The admission fee is 450 yen for adults, and free for children under 12. #May Travel Support Fund

#Fukuoka places to visit #I visited Marine World. I was worried about the ferry on a rainy day, so I took the train. I got help at Hakata Station and got a set ticket. Dolphins are the best. And the rice is more delicious than I thought.👍👍 My daughter's eyes widened after eating udon because it was so delicious. It's really soft and fluffy. Even if it rains, you can see penguins and dolphins, so don't worry and go.🥰

1️⃣ Preparing to depart from Busan International Passenger Terminal Start your journey at the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal located in Jung-gu. After ticketing and completing departure procedures, you can choose your preferred style of travel: JR Kyushu Beetle (high-speed ferry) or Camellia Line (overnight ferry). 2️⃣ Relaxing travel time on the sea The Beetle takes about 3 hours, while the Camellia Line operates overnight and takes 11–12 hours. The journey itself adds excitement to your trip as you glide across the sea. Don’t miss the view outside the window! 3️⃣ Arriving at Fukuoka’s Hakata Port After completing entry procedures, it takes only about 10–15 minutes by bus or taxi to reach the city center from Hakata Port. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately feel the clean and organized atmosphere unique to Japan. 4️⃣ Exploring Tenjin or Nakasu right after arrival If you love shopping, head to Tenjin; if you’re looking for local nightlife and flavors, go straight to Nakasu! Start your trip by enjoying local Japanese dishes like Yaki Ramen, Motsunabe, and Tonkotsu Ramen. 5️⃣ Duty-free shopping and sea views on the way back On your return trip from Fukuoka to Busan, you can shop for souvenirs at the duty-free shop in the passenger terminal and once again enjoy the sea views, wrapping up your journey at a leisurely pace.

📍Address: 18-25 Nishidozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City 🕰️Opening hours: 9:30-5:30 It is a good place to arrange a half-day or full-day trip. There are performances with different themes in the morning and afternoon, which is suitable for family fun. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that the transportation is more time-consuming. This time I took the train to go there, and the waiting time and commuting time alone consumed a lot of time and energy. It is recommended to rent a car and drive there by yourself. #familytravel #japan #kidsfun #marine-worldaquarium

I went to Marine World Uminonakamichi. This aquarium is surrounded by the sea and is home to many stingrays and dolphins, as well as small whale sharks. I went in March 2025, and there were baby dolphins practicing swimming, so you might still be able to see them. Access: 7 minutes on foot from JR Uminonakamichi Station, so it's easy to get there from downtown Hakata. Shika Island, where the Golden Seal was excavated, is next door, so it would be interesting to stop by there as well. 📍Address: 18-28 Nishitozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 811-0321 #0 yen trip

There is a dolphin show and a variety of sea animals.
