Experience of the stay
The hotel is right next to the exit of Tenjin Underground Shopping Street, super close to major shopping centers! There's a convenience store nearby, and across the street is a very delicious food stall! The check-in process was very smooth, and before checking in, I received an email from the hotel detailing the check-in process. The room was very clean, fitting a 20-inch suitcase comfortably, and the bed was very comfortable, highly recommended for solo travelers!
Experiences during the trip
This trip to Fukuoka coincided with Japan's New Year holiday, where many shops and transportation schedules were different from usual, adding a lot of uncertainties to my itinerary. However, since it was a solo trip, I could go wherever I wanted, leading to some special experiences. For instance, I met a street performer playing electric guitar in Nakasu Kawabata, who warmly invited me to sit in front of him and let me choose any song; or I encountered a shamisen instructor playing on the street and got to experience playing a song together. Despite the language barrier, we managed to communicate, and later drew other Japanese people to join in the chat, sharing our backgrounds and hearing their perspectives on Taiwan, which was a completely new travel experience for me. Especially since the pace of life in Fukuoka isn't too fast, I highly recommend everyone to try a solo trip to Fukuoka. I already want to go out and travel again! 🥲
