Japan · Fukuoka 4-Day Trip
Fukuoka, Japan 4-Day Itinerary Template
A short Kyushu break that fits into a long weekend: 4 days, 3 nights and only 16 stops. Land around midday and spend the first evening at the Nakasu yatai stalls with Hakata tonkotsu ramen, take a day trip to Dazaifu Tenmangu and a Yanagawa canal boat, then save a day for Tenjin, Fukuoka Tower and sunset at Momochihama Beach. Distances are short, which makes it a forgiving first solo trip.
