This was my first time visiting Sakitsu Village, and I really loved the atmosphere here. It isn't overly commercialized or crowded. The whole village is quiet and laid-back, making it perfect for slowing down and taking a leisurely stroll. Walking through the alleys, you can see well-preserved old houses and fishing village streets, along with seaside views that feel very relaxing. The most impressive part was Sakitsu Church. It stands quietly in the village and blends very naturally with the surrounding fishing village scenery, giving you a sense of the village's rich history and culture. Taking photos and enjoying the ocean views along the way, every corner has its own charm.

Fukuoka Airport
Fukuoka Airport is located in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, and is known for its exceptional access to the city center-just about 5 minutes by subway to Hakata Station and around 11 minutes to Tenjin. Its convenience makes it a major gateway for both tourism and business travel.
After the renovation, Fukuoka Airport has become quite nice, with many more restaurants, shops, and souvenir stores. Travelers can enjoy food and browse around while waiting for their flights.

Nishitetsu Grand Hotel
Nishitetsu Grand Hotel has been representing Fukuoka City since its foundation in 1969. It is located on the corner of Meiji dori and Tenjin Nishi dori, very close to the Tenjin subway station. A door man welcomes guests at the entrance and the hotel has a sophisticated and dignified atmosphere.
The hotel is located in the bustling Tenjin area, so you can return to the hotel to rest when you're tired from shopping. The room was more spacious than I expected and very comfortable. There were also many breakfast options, including distinctive Japanese dishes, which were really great. This really is my first choice for a hotel when visiting central Fukuoka.

Canal City Hakata
On the vast 43,500m² premises, a shopping mall, movie complex, theater, amusement park and two hotels cluster. Its symbol, a 180m-long canal, crosses along the center of the space lined with colorful buildings.
Canal City Hakata is really great for exploring! It's huge inside and brings together shopping, dining, and entertainment, so you won't get bored even if you spend the whole day there.
My favorite part was the canal design in the center. There are also light and fountain shows at night, and the atmosphere is great. -
