Fukuoka City is quickly gaining
popularity among the young and working
demographics as one of the best places
to live in all of Japan one of these
reasons is it's convenient access to the
airport making it easy to connect
Fukuoka with the rest of Japan and other
parts of Asia in fact Fukuoka's Airport
is one of the closest airports built
near a city in the entire world it only
takes five minutes by subway to travel
to Hakata station which is kyushu's main
hub for both local trains and bullet
trains traveling in extra six minutes
along the subway line will bring you -
Tenjin Fukuoka's downtown core and
shopping district if you're travelling
to rural parts of Kyushu Fukuoka Airport
is also accessible by city and highway
bus for city dwellers however the subway
really is the best way to go not only is
it the fastest way to get through the
city but it's also the cheapest from my
own apartment to the airport I only pay
about 300 yen or three dollars and it
takes less than 20 minutes for me to get
there
travelers to Fukuoka might also like to
know that purchasing a day ticket for
the subway only costs 620 n but anyway
back to the airport Fukuoka Airport is
one of my favorite places to kill time
it's not too big it's not too crowded
but there's plenty to do if you find
yourself with some time here the third
floor has some cool restaurants and a
bookstore that I really like to spend
time in I mean who doesn't like to pick
up a good book before a flight
I love their air travel theme books
desks are also provided complete with
power outlets at case you need to charge
something while you wait for your flight
there are also a number of restaurants
on the third floor from famous - Ramon -
Italian pasta there's sure to be
something for everybody
but personally I prefer the restaurants
window seats
there's just something really exciting
about sitting and watching planes take
off and land while enjoying a delicious
meal and here's something maybe only
fellow aviation geeks will understand
but this is also a great spot to take
photos of airplanes here's a time-lapse
I took while eating
gift-giving is a huge thing in Japanese
culture and souvenir shopping in Fukuoka
Airport is actually really fun it's
really interesting is like the place to
buy a meal game or souvenirs it's pretty
much like its own department
snore it gets a little shopping center
there's so many different varieties of
foods that you can try and I kind of
want to try them all but I won't i won't
but as you can see it's just like so
much going on here this is all for omega
souvenirs so I will show you a few of my
favorite words right now
I like minty wieners because they're
kind of funny
I like cube costella because it's
basically a bite-sized cake in a box and
it's so cute and finally I really like
giving people Hakata ramen because it's
so famous here however the best selling
Omaha gay is how about the Tori mom it's
a rich pastry snack and it's pretty good
if you have a chance to sample it make
sure
you passengers flying international will
have to take a shuttle bus from Fukuoka
Airport across the tarmac to the
International Airport which is situated
on the other side of the runway this
ride is free but it takes about five to
ten minutes the International Airport is
simple and clean some people might find
this boring but I appreciate the lack of
chaos
the International Airport mostly
services other destinations in Asia such
as Korea China Singapore Thailand Taiwan
and Hawaii
the most fascinating thing in the
International Airport is noticing how
different the souvenirs are while food
seems to be the most popular choice in a
domestic terminal the international
terminal sells novelty goods instead so
that's my guide of Fukuoka Airport
I hope it's useful for you but now I got
to jump back over to domestic and catch
my flight time for me to go through
there and they don't allow cameras so I
gotta go I
