Click here for a quick video of out 12-days holiday trip

 

Day 1 – Fukuoka – Ureashino

We landed at Fukuoka International Airport and felt a little lost, unsure of where to catch the bus to Ureshino.

After asking around, we learned that the bus departs from the Fukuoka Domestic Airport Terminal.

We then took a free local shuttle to the domestic terminal, where we finally located the bus stop for Ureshino.

We first took a bus from the airport toward Ureshino, but midway we had to transfer to another bus heading there.

Due to the inconvenient bus schedules, we eventually gave up and decided instead to take the limited express train to Ureshino.

Found the best Tempura Restaurant – Haseen

Address: Ko-4724-1 Ureshinomachi Oaza Shimojuku, Ureshino, Saga 843-0301, Japan

 

The restaurant served an authentic tempura lunch set that was not only delicious but also among the finest I’ve tasted in all my visits to Japan.
