Visiting JR Mojiko Station is itself a romantic journey through time. After careful restoration, its classic Taisho-era elegance has been perfectly recreated. As a train enthusiast, the moment I stepped onto the platform, I couldn't help but be captivated by the straight, sprawling retro space, the nostalgic station name signs, and the strong sense of history.
Standing on the old platform, I could almost hear the whistles of steam trains from the past. This is not only the perfect starting point for exploring the Mojiko Retro area, but also a beautiful station filled with stories that makes you reluctant to leave.

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.
目前去日本旅遊中最喜歡的機場就是福岡機場，最大的優勢就是距離市區超級近，回程時完全不需要一大早匆忙出發，搭乘地鐵或巴士就能快速抵達，省去不少舟車勞頓的時間。
這裡最棒的隱藏亮點就是超好逛的國內線航廈。回程時可以先到國際線完成行李託運，接著搭乘免費接駁車前往國內線，直接展開精彩的美食巡禮。國內線不但集結了各式各樣在地知名的特色餐廳，還有琳瑯滿目的伴手禮專櫃，每一款看起來都讓人愛不釋手。在這裡不僅能把想買的紀念品一次買齊，還能悠閒地享受最後的美食饗宴，完全滿足了旅人意猶未盡的購物慾，是個讓人感到無比便利又舒服的完美機場。

Nakasu Yataigai (food stall street)
In the gourmet city Hakata, Nakasu Yataigai lets you experience specialized gourmet food - ramen, skewered food, Oden, etc. to go with sake and other drinks. Naka River runs through Kyushu’s busiest downtown, Nakasu. Bright neon lights sparkle on the water and it is quite a sight that all kinds of food stalls are lined along the river! Strolling along the river allows you to catch the energy of the city.
Hakata is very lively at night, and there’s no better place to experience the local atmosphere than the Nakasu food stalls. A whole row of small stalls lights lanterns along the riverbank, and the air is filled with rich aromas. The bustling atmosphere somehow feels familiar and welcoming, like a Taiwanese night market. There’s often a wait, but it’s worth trying if you want to experience authentic Japanese food stall culture.
This time, I made a special trip to stroll through the Nakasu food stalls and enjoy the romantic nighttime view by the river, then went to Hamadaya, a famous mizutaki restaurant in Hakata, for dinner. The intensely rich chicken broth, simmered with simple seasonings, paired with tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth chicken, was truly unforgettable. Whether you want to experience the lively food stalls or enjoy a heartwarming meal, I highly recommend both.

ICHIRAN Souhonten -Headshop & Office-
Located within the headquarters of Ichiran, this is the main store of the renowned ramen chain which is not only present all over Japan, but also overseas, in places like New York, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Among the many famous tonkotsu ramen shops in Fukuoka, Ichiran is particularly popular.
ICHIRAN Ramen is an extremely popular must-visit for Taiwanese travelers to Japan, and its main store is right here in Hakata. The entire eye-catching building has an impressive presence, and its most talked-about feature is the lively pop-up performance held every night at 8, when the staff put on special costumes and perform on the balcony.
Unfortunately, because of our itinerary, we weren't able to catch this interesting limited-time evening performance. But as soon as we stepped inside, the familiar, delicious aroma of tonkotsu immediately left us feeling satisfied. Their thin noodles had just the right firmness and soaked up the rich, smooth, yet not overly heavy tonkotsu broth. It was still the same delicious flavor I remembered and could never get tired of. Whether or not you get to see the evening performance, simply enjoying a bowl of classic ramen inside this iconic main store is satisfying enough. I recommend that ramen lovers make a pilgrimage here when visiting Hakata.
