9 days in Fukuoka Itinerary

The largest city on the island, Fukuoka formed through the merger of two former cities that had grown up either side of the Naka River.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Yoshinogari Historical Park and Mamedamachi Shopping Street. Visiting Nokonoshima Island and Shikanoshima will get you outdoors. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Fukuoka: Saga Castle History Museum (in Saga), Kitakyushu (Maruni Market, Kokura Castle, & more) and Dazaifu Temmangu Shrine (in Dazaifu). There's much more to do: buy something for everyone on your list at AMU PLAZA HAKATA, contemplate the long history of Yatai, stop by Marinoa Fukuoka, and go for a walk through Ohori Park.
