Day XNUMX: Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival and Light Show
Back to the accommodation near the Tenjin Underground Street, I felt that the weather in Fukuoka was quite hot, so I first went to Uniqlo in the nearby shopping mall to buy short-sleeved clothes, and then I chose the eel rice restaurant I saw in the taxi advertisement, and went to explore the food.After noon, considering children’s sleep and physical strength, they will also return to the hotel to rest, and then start the cherry blossom viewing trip at noon tea.
I came to Fukuoka for cherry blossom viewing for the first time. From the familiar picnic activities in Kyoto in the past, it transformed into a lively atmosphere of the house meeting. When I came to Fukuoka castle ruins to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I still met the grand cherry blossom season and walked along the house activities around the Koyokan Square. , It’s so lively, people who are used to Kansai’s tranquil cherry blossom viewing atmosphere may have to be psychologically prepared to integrate into Fukuoka’s unique lively cherry blossom viewing culture.
What is pleasantly surprised is that the Fukuoka Castle XNUMX-in-XNUMX Night Sakura package purchased on this trip allows you to enter the Fukuoka Castle Tenshudai Ruins, Tamon Yagura, and Otakaya Shiki at night to enjoy the night cherry blossoms, except for the dense cherry blossoms on the Tenshudai Ruins. In addition to the large crowds of picnics, the special light and shadow performances held by the two places of Yagura and Oyakiya Shiki are very gorgeous and fascinating. Compared with the relatively static Kyoto light-up event, Wendy feels that it is more dazzling and unique.

Day XNUMX: Market tour and cherry blossom viewing in the park
Transfer from Tenjin Station to Hakata Station. This time, when I brought a small burger, I think that my son is easy to cry in the indoor space anyway. It is not a priority to visit the food, but to visit the park with the beautiful cherry blossoms. .After carefully searching and doing homework before the trip, I found that there are many community-type parks in downtown Fukuoka. You can usually visit many parks on foot and enjoy the small-scale cherry blossom scene by the way.
After arriving at the Hakata Station Hotel, I first walked to visit the nearby Ginseng Park and Sumiyoshi Park. As expected, they are all residential parks. Most of them live here. Although there are not many cherry trees, I was lucky to have a blooming moment. .Then take the bus to Liuqiao Lianhe Market. In addition to visiting the lively traditional market, there are also many coffee shops nearby for temporary rest.
In the afternoon, continue to take the bus to Minojima South Park on the riverside. When you encounter the unexpected cherry blossoms on the riverside, the crowds are quite scarce. People can take pictures and picnics leisurely and experience the lively cherry blossom season in Nishi Park and Maizuru Park. Later, at this time, regain the peaceful atmosphere of cherry blossom viewing. It is highly recommended for people who prefer quiet cherry blossom viewing. The cherry blossom scenery on the riverside here is also comparable to many well-known river cherry blossom spots in Kyoto and Nara.
Finally, take a slow walk all the way back to the hotel. In addition to the cherry blossoms in Minojima Park and Torii Park, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms. At the Panasonic Fukuoka headquarters next to Minojima South Park, the cherry blossoms in the company’s park are unexpectedly blooming. Quite experience, but when it was on duty, the guards euphemistically informed that it was not open for people to visit inside, and that it could only be open to outsiders in the evening, so I had to give up and walk back to the hotel.

The one-way journey by JR was 230 yen, and the return journey was 480 yen by bus. The bus was expensive and took a long time. However, I chose to take the bus nearby because it was the time to sleep in Hamburg in the evening. Walk slowly and take a good rest in the car by the way.

Day XNUMX: Depart by ferry to Busan
After bidding farewell to the cherry blossom season in Fukuoka with the night view of Mount Sarakura the night before, I took a cross-border ferry to Busan to continue the cherry blossom chasing trip.Although there is no baggage weight limit on the ferry, I am still fortunate to send the shopping trophies back to Taiwan the day before, otherwise I will have to carry the trophies to Busan with my son.

The money that should be spent still has to be spent, so that adults can relax and save effort, while villains are safe and happy.
On the Camellia Line ferry from Fukuoka to Busan, most of them are Koreans. Obviously, the main passenger layer of this route is a convenient pipeline for Koreans to travel to Fukuoka.Throughout the journey, I saw the full vitality of the Koreans. The strong renewal culture is really well-deserved. The on-board restaurants, karaoke, and game rooms are all available, which also makes the whole ship very lively.

◎ Traffic description
The cross-border ferry between Fukuoka and Busan is divided into two routes, ordinary ships and fast ships. The ordinary ships are jointly operated by Camellia Line (Japan) and Koreaferry (South Korea). The fast ships are operated by JR Beetle (Japan) and Kobee ( South Korea) The two companies are joint ventures.This trip considers traveling with a small hamburger and chooses to take a regular route. Although the voyage time is longer, the hull is larger and stable, so you can have a good rest.
The advantage of taking a cross-border ferry is that there is no baggage weight limit, and baggage inspection is not as strict as that of an airplane. Seeing many South Korean Azhuma carrying a large number of trophies on board, you know that taking a ship from South Korea to Japan for large purchases is a pretty good choice. .The route from Fukuoka to Busan is during the day. If you want to save money, you can choose to shop, while the bus to Fukuoka is at night. It is better to choose a box to rest. Anyway, it has already saved the hotel accommodation cost for the next night.
