I visited Usa Jingu Shrine twice. The grounds are really quite large, and you can also look for heart-shaped patterns on the stone slabs. After walking for a while, I reached the main shrine. The vermilion buildings are really beautiful after the renovation. If you get the chance, come take a stroll. You can also buy limited-edition amulets.

Kyushu Natural Animal Park African Safari
The African Safari is the largest safari park in Japan where around 1400 animals of 70 species roam freely in its enormous area. The park is divided into two zones; the “Animal Zone” with its 6km safari road where visitors can get close to the animals from the “jungle bus” and the “Interacting Zone” where visitors can actually touch the animals.
Kyushu Natural Animal Park. The grounds are really huge. In the cute animal area, you can hold and feed small animals, and the main attraction is riding the park's Jungle Bus (reservations aren't available, so you have to line up in person) to feed herbivores and carnivores. Not only kids but adults also find it a lot of fun. If you're visiting Beppu, I recommend adding this attraction to your itinerary. It's really quite different from zoos back home. Highly recommended〜

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.
