After I landed at Fukuoka Airport and unpacked at my hotel, the exhaustion hit me all at once. At times like that, there’s only one answer: a steaming hot soup to wash away the fatigue. For my long-awaited first meal in Fukuoka, I headed over to Ichifuji (a famous Hakata motsunabe restaurant) near my hotel….
For some reason, it rained quite often in Fukuoka. Whenever I looked for an indoor spot that was comfortable to explore regardless of the weather, the area around Hakata Station couldn’t be beaten. Hakata Station was also one of those places I always ended up visiting at least once for food or shopping. During this…
Last week, the weather was gloomy, so I looked for a place where I could move around indoors for a change and ended up checking out 점핑배틀 (Jumping Battle) in Konkuk! It’s a great indoor activity spot where you can work up a sweat in a short amount of time. It felt like a perfect…
Last week, I originally planned to eat lamb skewers in Konkuk University, but maybe because the weather looked a little gloomy, I suddenly craved something spicy that evening. So I ended up checking out 미친쭈꾸미 건대본점 (Michin Jjukkumi’s main Konkuk University branch). This generous restaurant served spicy jjukkumi pork belly along with three unlimited side…
When people think of Fukuoka, tonkotsu ramen usually comes to mind first! This time, I wanted to share a truly great spot that a local friend personally recommended.

I combined big data and my own travel…
Picking a lunch menu has been a surprisingly stressful task lately, right? I kept wondering what to eat, and this time I was craving something filling with plenty of vegetables, so I checked out a new spot. This was 청록미나리식당 (a restaurant known for unlimited fresh minari and vegetables). I could help myself to fresh…
With the weather getting hotter these days, didn’t a cold and sweet drink sound especially tempting after a meal? Today, I wanted to share my visit to 차지(CHAGEE), the global tea brand that’s been making waves lately and is often called the “Jang Wonyoung milk tea.” I usually drank coffee more often than tea, but…
Have you ever struggled with a hangover after a night of drinking? Most people usually reached for either a steaming spicy red broth or something rich and comforting to bounce back. There was a pretty appealing hangover menu in Seolleung that checked both boxes. It was the Tomato Ramen at 카토멘 (a ramen spot known…
I previously rounded up the top five public swimming pools in Fukuoka based on how close they were to the city center. This time, I wanted to share my experience visiting a pool that wasn’t on that list. When I chose where to go, I focused more on the facilities than the distance. Today I’m…
