Thinking about going to Fukuoka using the Bullet Train?
From Tokyo, the quickest way to reach Fukuoka is by plane, but it also involves more complexities (going to the airport 2 hours in advance, going through security checks, etc.).

I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
