The Unexpected in Fukuoka

Fukuoka, Japan

Secret Shrine Side-Quest

The Unexpected

Fukuoka's not all about the big-name shrines. Go off the beaten path and hunt down those lesser-known, local-favorite shrines. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you get tranquility and maybe a couple of spiritual high-fives.

Artisan Alley Adventure

The Unexpected

Treasure trove alert! Duck into Fukuoka's artsy alleyways where local artisans spill their crafts and souls. Peek into petite studios or nab some handcrafted goodies. Remember, handle with awe!

Antique Market Maven

The Unexpected

Put on your bargaining cap and delve into the world of vintage treasures. Fukuoka's antique markets are like time machines to pocket watches, old-school kimonos, and more. It's shopping, but with a dash of history!

Sake Vending Machine Hop

The Unexpected

Who needs a bartender when you've got sake vending machines? Yes, you read right—vending machines that dispense sake! Embark on a quest to find these hidden gems and sample an array of sakes. Pro tip: don't forget to drink plenty of water and maybe bring along some salty snacks!

Sumo Experience Fukuoka

The Unexpected

Ever wanted to feel like a Sumo champ? Here in Fukuoka, you can! Slip into a mawashi (that's a sumo belt!) and learn the basics of sumo wrestling. This ain't your usual tourist activity, and that's what makes it so awesome. Go take a crash course and throw your weight around—the sumo way!
