Fukuoka, gateway to Kyushu

3rd time in Fukuoka...

But this time is a little different, I'm here backpacking alone.
I've got a total of 8 days...6 days in Fukuoka and other 2 in Nagasaki
Located in The Southern Part of the country, on Kyushu Island. Pretty much closer to Pusan, South Korea than from Tokyo.

Please read my Travel Tips for places to go, things to do,.....

 Excellent page of Fukuoka. Wow... you tried "fugu". I went by Hakata on my way to Nagasaki. So it is great to take a virtual tour here. Gambatte. SL :)
