Fukuoka Travel Spots

A hambagu spot worth lining up before opening

The original Tempura Hirao by the airport, a favorite with Fukuoka locals too

The Attack on Titan museum stop on Hita bus tours

Sapporo's Kyushu brewery in Hita, where you can drink the beer fresh

Where to buy Hita's well-known soy sauce

Japan's tallest seaside tower — an observation deck that looks out to sea, not over the city

A man-made beach right next to Fukuoka Tower, popular with locals too

Home of the SoftBank Hawks — a dome stadium in a league of its own

Said to be Fukuoka's most famous gyukatsu, right by Tenjin Station

The flagship of Ichiran, famous for tonkotsu ramen

The Nakasu Don Quijote — quieter than the Tenjin branch, so you can shop at your own pace

Yufuin's storybook village, modeled on the Cotswolds (a Harry Potter filming area)

A Beppu 'hell' hot spring where you can see the springs and soak your feet

A quiet lake at the far end of Yufuin, past the narrow lane of food stalls
