It was the best choice while I was in Fukuoka. I was able to tour Yufuin and Nagasaki at once with just one Northern Kyushu Sunkyu Pass, and the taste of the Champon I had in Nagasaki was so good that I can't forget it.

It was so good ㅠㅠ The weather was really nice and the view was perfect, so it was a really happy trip! Next time I go to Fukuoka, I have to stop by at night too! The night view must be really pretty too! I had a great time!

The night view is so spectacular that you won't regret it! If you take pictures at the observatory, time will pass by so quickly that you won't even realize it☺️

It is a far area that cannot be traveled by walking. However, it is possible to travel in half a day through a bus tour, and it was a meaningful time with the guide Anna, who is very kind and takes good pictures. Thank you!

There were only two ginseng groups today, and it felt like a chartered car. The ride was quite long, but the tour boat was very beautiful, and the wind was so strong that my hair flew everywhere, but it was very comfortable! Lunch has a local flavor and can be very filling! There weren’t many people in the places we went on the trip, I loved it💕
